"Netflix Launches 'Thronglets' Game Inspired by Black Mirror Season 7"

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you've likely already dived into the latest season of Black Mirror. Season 7, which dropped all six episodes just yesterday, has been receiving positive buzz. While the series itself is compelling, my focus today is on Netflix's latest game release inspired by it: Black Mirror: Thronglets.

Black Mirror: Thronglets Is Based on Season 7’s Episode 4

If you've watched Episode 4, you're familiar with the unsettling atmosphere that Black Mirror: Thronglets brings to the gaming world. For those who haven't seen it yet, here's a brief overview: the episode oscillates between 2034 and 1994, focusing on Cameron Walker, portrayed by Peter Capaldi. Starting from a shoplifting arrest, the narrative delves into themes of childhood trauma, obsession, and the signature Black Mirror exploration of simulated realities.

Black Mirror: Thronglets is the retro pixelated virtual pet simulation game featured in the episode titled 'Plaything'. Developed in the 90s by Colin Ritman, a familiar name from Tuckersoft who also appeared in episodes like Bandersnatch and Nosedive, this game has been adapted for mobile by Night School, one of Netflix's game studios. Initially resembling a glitchy Tamagotchi, Thronglets evolves into a deeper, existential experience.

In the game, Thronglets are not just digital pets but evolving life forms with their own autonomy. You begin with a single pixel blob, but as you progress, you'll find yourself managing an entire 'Throng' that learns and adapts based on your actions.

The Game Is Watching You Too

As you engage more with Black Mirror: Thronglets, the game begins to analyze your decisions and behavior, culminating in a unique personality assessment based on how you interact with your Throng. You can even compare your results with friends for added entertainment.

Both Black Mirror: Thronglets and the episode 'Plaything' explore themes of memory, digital legacy, and isolation, with the episode itself offering a dark and emotional narrative. Whether you're a fan of the series or looking to experience a new and intriguing game, Black Mirror: Thronglets is available for you to explore on the Google Play Store.
