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

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you've likely already delved into the latest season of *Black Mirror*. Season 7, which dropped just yesterday, includes six gripping episodes that have garnered strong reviews. While the series is captivating, my focus today shifts to 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 know the game can take you to some unsettling places. For those who haven't, let me fill you in. The episode, set in 2034, jumps back to 1994 and centers around Cameron Walker, portrayed by Peter Capaldi. Starting from a shoplifting arrest, the story delves into themes of childhood trauma, obsession, admiration, and the quintessential *Black Mirror* feeling of being trapped in a simulation.

*Black Mirror: Thronglets* is the retro pixelated virtual pet simulation game featured in the episode, developed in the '90s by Colin Ritman, the Tuckersoft developer from *Bandersnatch* and *Nosedive*. For the mobile version, Night School, a Netflix game studio, has crafted an experience that begins like a glitchy Tamagotchi but evolves into something far more existential.

In *Thronglets*, you start with a single quirky pixel blob, but soon you'll have a full 'Throng' of digital life forms. These aren't just pets; they're evolving organisms with minds of their own, learning from your every action.

The Game Is Watching You Too

As you dive deeper into *Thronglets*, the game closely monitors your choices and behaviors. It ultimately presents you with a personality assessment based on how you've interacted with your Throng. You can even compare your results with friends for added engagement.

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