Netflix Releases BLACK MIRROR Mobile Game ‘Thronglets’ for Season 7 BANDERSNATCH Sequel

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the seventh season of the thought-provoking series Black Mirror is set to include two intriguing in-world sequels! The much-anticipated follow-up to the show’s memorable “USS Callister” is on the horizon, along with a tale connected to the 2018 interactive special film Bandersnatch. However, before we delve deeper into Will Poulter’s character, Colin Ritman, we’ll have the chance to immerse ourselves in his story. Netflix is offering us an opportunity to play one of his long-lost forbidden games. In preparation for season seven’s episode “Plaything,” they’ve unveiled a chilling new mobile game called Thronglets, reminiscent of the classic Tamagotchi. This free, sinister game will test your wits as you grapple with challenging existential questions.

In the seventh series of Black Mirror, episode number four, titled “Plaything,” brings back Charlie Poulter as the renowned video game creator Colin Rittman. The plot has been hinted at through previously released synopses and the season seven trailer. According to Netflix, the story revolves around a peculiar murder suspect in a future London, who is connected to an uncommon 1990s video game. This game is inhabited by adorable, ever-evolving artificial life forms.

In this episode, we’ll be able to engage with a video game identical to the one that plays a significant part. The streamer has unveiled Thronglets, a mobile game that, in a Black Mirror-esque twist, appears much more adorable than it actually is. According to the streamer’s Tudum, the game combines elements of virtual pet care, village management, strategy, and philosophical dilemmas. Here’s what you can anticipate from playing it:

Thronglets is similar to a traditional virtual pet, such as a Tamagotchi, for about the first 10 minutes. However, the game becomes more complex as you oversee an expanding community of these tiny yellow creatures. At its core, maintaining cleanliness, feeding, and exercising your pets ensures their population growth. There’s always an incentive to keep playing – whether it’s a new tool upgrade, a fresh building type, or even a thermonuclear device!

In this game, managing time and resources will be crucial, but things are bound to get strange and eerie. Just as Netflix describes, following the Tuckersoft style, the boundary between the game and reality may blur, allowing the Thronglets to interact directly with you, the player.

As a keen enthusiast, I’d say that Tudum offers an abundance of insights into the intricacies of gameplay mechanics and Thronglet communication. Yet, it’s best to approach it with minimal prior knowledge, much like diving into a fresh episode of Black Mirror. The less you anticipate, the more profoundly you’ll be drawn into the strange and unsettling world that awaits.
