"Netflix Launches 'Thronglets' Game Inspired by Black Mirror Season 7"
If you're a Netflix subscriber, you've likely already dived into the latest season of Black Mirror. Season 7 dropped yesterday, featuring all six episodes, and the buzz is that the reviews are quite favorable. While the series itself is compelling, my attention is drawn to 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 familiar with the unsettling atmosphere that the game replicates. For those who haven't, here's a brief overview: the episode oscillates between the years 2034 and 1994, focusing on Cameron Walker, portrayed by Peter Capaldi. Starting with his arrest for shoplifting, the narrative delves into themes of childhood trauma, obsession, admiration, and the quintessential Black Mirror motif of being trapped in a simulation.
Black Mirror: Thronglets mirrors the retro pixelated virtual pet simulation game, Plaything, from the episode. Developed in the 90s by Colin Ritman, a Tuckersoft developer featured in other Black Mirror episodes like Bandersnatch and Nosedive, this game has been adapted for mobile by Night School, one of Netflix's game studios. Initially resembling a glitchy Tamagotchi, the game evolves into a deeper, existential experience.
In Thronglets, you start with a single pixelated blob, which eventually grows into a full-blown Throng of digital life forms. These aren't just pets; they're evolving organisms that learn from your actions and develop a mind of their own.
The Game Is Watching You Too
As you engage with 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 for added enjoyment.
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 it a must-watch for fans of the series. If you're intrigued by the series or looking to explore a new game, give Thronglets a try on the Google Play Store.
