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

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you're likely familiar with the latest season of *Black Mirror*. Season 7 dropped all six episodes just yesterday, and the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. However, my focus isn't on the series itself but rather on 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 that particular episode, you'll understand just how unsettling *Thronglets* can be. For those who haven't, here's a quick summary: the episode takes place in 2034 but flashes back to 1994, focusing on Cameron Walker, portrayed by Peter Capaldi. Initially, Cameron is in custody for shoplifting, but the narrative delves into themes of childhood trauma, obsession, admiration, and the quintessential *Black Mirror* experience of being trapped in a simulation.

*Black Mirror: Thronglets* is directly inspired by the retro pixelated virtual pet simulation game featured in the episode called *Plaything*. This game was supposedly created in the '90s by Colin Ritman, a recurring character in *Black Mirror* known from episodes like *Bandersnatch* and *Nosedive*. Developed for mobile by Night School, one of Netflix's gaming studios, *Thronglets* begins as a glitchy Tamagotchi-like experience but soon evolves into something much deeper and existential.

In *Thronglets*, you manage digital pets, or rather, *digital life forms*. These creatures start as simple pixel blobs but evolve into a full-blown *Throng*, learning from and adapting to your actions.

The Game Is Watching You Too

As you delve deeper into *Thronglets*, the game begins to observe your decisions and behavior. Over time, it generates a 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. The episode itself is deeply emotional and dark. Whether you're a fan of the *Black Mirror* series or simply looking to try out a new game, *Thronglets* is available on the Google Play Store.
