"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 all six episodes just yesterday, has been met with enthusiastic reviews. While the series itself is compelling, 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'll understand just how unnerving the game can be. For those who haven't seen it yet, here's a quick summary: The episode toggles between the years 2034 and 1994, focusing on Cameron Walker, portrayed by Peter Capaldi. Starting with a shoplifting arrest, the narrative unfolds into a complex exploration of childhood trauma, obsession, admiration, and the signature Black Mirror theme of being trapped in a simulation.

*Black Mirror: Thronglets* mirrors the retro pixelated virtual pet simulation game from the episode, called *Plaything*, developed in the 90s by Colin Ritman, a familiar name from other *Black Mirror* entries like *Bandersnatch* and *Nosedive*. Brought to mobile devices by Night School, one of Netflix's game studios, *Thronglets* begins as a glitchy version of Tamagotchi but quickly evolves into a more profound existential experience.

In *Thronglets*, you manage digital life forms known as *Throngs*. Starting with a simple pixel blob, you nurture it until it evolves into a full-blown community of Throngs, each learning and adapting from your actions.

The Game Is Watching You Too

As you engage with *Thronglets*, the game meticulously tracks your decisions and behaviors. Over time, it generates a personality assessment based on how you interact with your Throngs. You can even compare your results with friends for added enjoyment.

Both *Black Mirror: Thronglets* and the episode *Plaything* delve into 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.
