"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, which dropped all six episodes just yesterday, has been met with positive reviews. While the series itself is captivating, my spotlight today shines 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 seen the fourth episode of Season 7, you'll understand how unsettling *Black Mirror: Thronglets* can be. For those who haven't yet watched, here's a brief overview: The episode transports us to the year 2034, before rewinding to 1994, focusing on Cameron Walker, portrayed by Peter Capaldi. Starting in custody for shoplifting, his story delves into themes of childhood trauma, obsession, admiration, and the signature Black Mirror twist of being within a simulation.

*Black Mirror: Thronglets* replicates the retro pixelated virtual pet simulation game featured in the episode, originally developed in the 90s by Colin Ritman of Tuckersoft, known from other Black Mirror entries like *Bandersnatch* and *Nosedive*. For mobile platforms, Night School, one of Netflix's game studios, has crafted this game. It begins similarly to a glitchy Tamagotchi but evolves into something far more existential.

In *Thronglets*, you're not just caring for digital pets; you're nurturing *digital life forms*. These creatures, starting as simple pixel blobs, evolve into a full-blown *Throng* that learns and adapts based on your actions.

The Game Is Watching You Too

As you engage with *Thronglets*, the game meticulously observes your decisions and behavior. Over time, it generates a personality assessment based on your interaction with your *Throng*. You can even share and compare these 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, offering an emotional and dark experience. Whether you're a fan of the series or simply looking for a unique gaming experience, consider trying out *Thronglets* on the Google Play Store.
