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

Apr 20,25(3 days ago)

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you're likely familiar with the latest season of *Black Mirror*. Season 7, released just yesterday, features six gripping episodes that have garnered positive reviews. While the series itself is captivating, my focus today is on Netflix's new game 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 aware of the unsettling atmosphere that *Black Mirror: Thronglets* brings to life. For those who haven't seen it, here's a brief overview: the episode jumps between 2034 and 1994, focusing on Cameron Walker, portrayed by Peter Capaldi. Initially detained for shoplifting, Cameron's story delves into themes of childhood trauma, obsession, admiration, and the quintessential *Black Mirror* theme of living within a simulation.

*Black Mirror: Thronglets* mirrors the retro pixelated virtual pet simulation game featured in the episode, known as *Plaything*. Developed in the '90s by Colin Ritman, a Tuckersoft developer also seen in other *Black Mirror* entries like *Bandersnatch* and *Nosedive*, the game has been adapted for mobile by Night School, one of Netflix's game studios. Starting off reminiscent of Tamagotchi, it quickly evolves into something far more existential.

In *Thronglets*, players nurture digital life forms—evolving organisms with their own consciousness. You begin with a single pixelated blob, which eventually grows into a full-fledged *Throng*, learning from your every action.

The Game Is Watching You Too

As you play *Black Mirror: Thronglets*, the game keenly observes your decisions and behaviors. Over time, it generates a personality assessment based on your interactions with your *Throng*. This feature adds an intriguing layer, allowing you to compare your results with friends for an extra layer of engagement.

Both *Black Mirror: Thronglets* and the corresponding episode explore themes of memory, digital legacy, and isolation. The episode itself is emotionally charged and dark, making *Thronglets* a must-try for fans of the series or anyone looking for a unique gaming experience. You can download *Thronglets* on the Google Play Store.
