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

"Netflix Launches

As a Netflix subscriber, you might already be diving into the latest season of *Black Mirror*. Season 7 dropped all six episodes just yesterday, and the buzz around it has been overwhelmingly positive. But let's shift our focus from the series to something equally intriguing—Netflix's newest 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* promises to deliver. For those yet to catch it, 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 unfolds to explore themes of childhood trauma, obsession, admiration, and the quintessential *Black Mirror* twist of being trapped in a simulation.

*Black Mirror: Thronglets* mirrors the retro pixelated virtual pet simulation game seen in the episode, named *Plaything*, developed in the 90s by Colin Ritman, a familiar name from *Bandersnatch* and *Nosedive*. Crafted for mobile by Night School, one of Netflix's gaming studios, the game starts off reminiscent of Tamagotchi but quickly evolves into a deeper, existential experience.

In *Thronglets*, you nurture digital life forms, or *digital pets*, which evolve into sentient beings. Beginning with a single pixel blob, you eventually manage a full *Throng* that learns and adapts based on your interactions.

The Game Is Watching You Too

As you delve deeper into *Thronglets*, the game begins to analyze your decisions and behaviors. It culminates in a unique personality assessment based on how you've interacted with your *Throng*. You can even share and compare your results with friends for added engagement.

Both *Black Mirror: Thronglets* and the episode *Plaything* delve into themes of memory, digital legacy, and isolation, offering a deeply emotional and dark experience. Whether you're a fan of the series or simply looking for a new gaming experience, *Thronglets* is available on the Google Play Store.
