Netflix Games has unveiled the release of their novel pet simulation game, titled “Black Mirror: Thronglets”, which is inspired by the game featured in the Season 7 episode of Black Mirror called “Plaything”.

Experience a twisted pet simulation with a personality test
As a dedicated fan, I’d rephrase that as: “I’m captivated by ‘Black Mirror: Thronglets’, a 90s-born retro virtual pet game, crafted by Tuckersoft programmer, Colin Ritman, as an experimental venture. But unlike conventional sims, this one feels like a darker version of the beloved Tamagotchi, transforming into a psychological study on human behavior over time.
In the universe shared by Black Mirror’s famous “Bandersnatch,” the new episode titled “Plaything” spotlights Thronglets. Your goal is to nurture and develop hundreds of endearing Thronglet creatures. However, as you advance, the storyline takes a more ominous, unsettling direction.
Speaking of that, I can’t wait to nurture, clean, and amuse these creatures, and observe their growth until I establish a lively crowd, or as it’s often referred to, a Throng. However, this isn’t just about caring for them; it provides an opportunity to delve deeper into the intricacies of human behavior and the repercussions of our digital compulsions.
Similar to the show, Thronglets can break the fourth wall and communicate with you
As your creatures grow, so does the simulation, offering you fresh tools like pickaxes and chainsaws, along with special skills, items, structures, and more. What’s more, these beings have a keen intellect and may occasionally catch you off guard as they display signs of self-awareness, interacting directly with you by posing questions.
The game is both intriguing and eerie, as it gradually escalates to a chilling finale, you’ll receive a sharable personality assessment. By creating a ‘Throng’, you can unveil hidden video snippets from the Ritman Retrospective, featuring uncommon interview clips between Colin Ritman and Mohan Thakur, the head of TuckerSoft.
The intriguing game titled “Thronglets in Black Mirror” is now accessible on Android and iOS devices. To get started, simply visit either the Google Play Store or the App Store to download it. Just remember that you need an active Netflix subscription to enjoy this game.
