This is the kickstarter:
Seems to be very inspired by stranger things and the like.
What are your thoughts? could it be a cool rollplay show?

If the video does not start for you in the embedded player, try clicking the kickstarter “K” in the top left corner and watch the video there. 
As an 80s kid, the setting looks indeed interesting.
The game engine of Tales from the Loop RPG is based on our previous game Mutant: Year Zero, that was awarded with a Silver ENnie for Best Rules at Gencon 2015, and used also in Coriolis - The Third Horizon.
Don’t know either of those games. Anyone got some info/opinions on the ruleset?
As they are Swedish games, and the game that introduced Roleplaying in Sweden was “Drakar och Demoner” (DoD/D&D, not to be confused with DnD/D&D), and the original system of DoD was an almost straight translation of the Basic Role Playing system by Chaosium, the earlier versions of Mutant were all BRP-mods.
Whether Mutant: Year Zero is a BRP mod or not, I don’t know, but the earlier Mutant versions were BRP.
In other words, Tales from the Loop is probably 35 years of gradual modifications on the BRP system.

Actually, as it seems, they replaced the BRP system in Mutant: Year Zero, so Tales from the Loop is a dice pool game, not a BRP game. https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/16/16316.phtml
