Dive into Black Mirror: Thronglets and experience a twisted pet simulation with a personality test

As a gamer, I’ve recently immersed myself in the eerie world of “Black Mirror: Thronglets,” a throwback to 90s virtual pet simulators. This game wasn’t just developed by Tuckersoft programmer, Colin Ritman as an ordinary simulation; it’s more like a twisted version of Tamagotchi that subtly morphs into a psychological study on human behavior.

As a devoted admirer, I find myself immersed in the same enigmatic universe as Black Mirror’s groundbreaking Bandersnatch. In the captivating new episode, Plaything, I step into the role of a caretaker, nurturing and guiding hundreds of charming creatures known as Thronglets. However, as my journey unfolds, it takes a chilling, ominous twist that leaves me questioning the true nature of this seemingly innocent endeavor.

Speaking of that, I’m thrilled about nurturing, cleaning, and amusing them, and observing their growth until I achieve a thriving crowd, or Throng. However, it’s not just about caring for them; there’s an additional layer where you can delve deeper into human psychology and the repercussions of our growing digital preoccupations.

Thronglets can break the fourth wall, communicate with you, and ask questions

As your digital pets progress, fresh resources like pickaxes, chainsaws, unique skills, items, structures, and additional elements get introduced. Moreover, these beings exhibit a keen intellect, sometimes astonishing you when they seem to break the boundary between game and player by addressing you directly, posing inquiries.

The game maintains an intriguing and eerie atmosphere, culminating in a chilling finale, where you receive a link to a shareable personality test. By assembling a group called the Throng, you’ll have access to hidden video snippets from the Ritman Retrospective, featuring exclusive interview clips between Colin Ritman and Mohan Thakur, the head of Tuckersoft.

The popular series “Black Mirror” has just released its new game titled “Thronglets.” You can grab it for your Android or iOS device by visiting either the Google Play Store or the App Store. Do keep in mind that to access this game, you’ll need an active Netflix membership.
