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

If you’re a Netflix subscriber, you might have already dived into the latest season of *Black Mirror*. Season 7, released just yesterday, features all six episodes and has garnered positive reviews. While the series itself is captivating, my attention is drawn to Netflix's latest 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 how unsettling *Black Mirror: Thronglets* can be. For those who haven't, let me give you a brief overview. The episode toggles between the year 2034 and 1994, focusing on Cameron Walker, portrayed by Peter Capaldi. The narrative begins with Cameron in custody for shoplifting and delves into themes of childhood trauma, obsession, admiration, and the signature *Black Mirror* theme of living within a simulation.

*Black Mirror: Thronglets* is inspired by the retro pixelated virtual pet simulation game featured in the episode, originally developed in the 90s by Colin Ritman, the Tuckersoft developer known from other *Black Mirror* entries like *Bandersnatch* and *Nosedive*. For the mobile version, Night School, one of Netflix's game studios, has brought this concept to life. It starts out reminiscent of a Tamagotchi with a glitch but soon evolves into something far more existential.

In *Thronglets*, you begin with a peculiar pixel blob that evolves into a full-blown Throng of digital life forms. These aren't just pets; they're evolving organisms with their own consciousness, subtly learning from your every move.

The Game Is Watching You Too

As you immerse yourself in *Thronglets*, the game closely monitors your decisions and behavior. Over time, it generates a personality assessment based on your interactions with your Throng. You can even compare your results with friends, adding a social element to the experience.

Both *Black Mirror: Thronglets* and the episode it's based on explore themes of memory, digital legacy, and isolation. The episode itself is deeply emotional and dark. Whether you're a fan of the series or simply looking to try a new and intriguing game, *Thronglets* is definitely worth checking out on the Google Play Store.
