In the upcoming seventh season of Black Mirror, the story ‘Plaything’ delves into Tuckersoft and their innovative new game titled Thronglets, which is available for you to play immediately.
Following ‘Bandersnatch’, where Black Mirror viewers decided the storyline, the control is returned to Netflix with ‘Plaything’. In this fourth episode of the new season, we follow Cameron Walker, an uneasy and apprehensive video game reporter who receives an opportunity to interact with Colin Ritman and preview his latest game creation firsthand.
In Ritman’s perspective, it’s not seen as a game. He feels that it doesn’t fit the description of being marketable. Instead, he refers to it as real life, not a simulation.
Absolutely, as Cameron becomes increasingly attached to the mysterious creatures called Thronglets, emitting noises that seem nonsensical until he figures out their language, it drives him quite insane. If this intrigues you, then you’re exactly who we were hoping for!
Black Mirror releases Thronglets game you can play now
Currently, the game Thronglets can be downloaded at no cost on both Android and iOS platforms. However, to enjoy playing it, you’ll require a valid Netflix subscription.
You begin with just one yellow creature, called a Thronglet. If you take care of it well, you’ll be rewarded by getting more and more of these creatures.
Imagine these creatures are similar to virtual pets like Tamagotchi. You’ll be their guardian, responsible for their well-being. If you neglect them, they might perish. To keep them alive, you’ll need to gather resources such as wood and gems, and plant trees for them to eat.
In other words, since this is an original production from Black Mirror, don’t be surprised if things become odd (and intense) as you progress, and remember to look for hidden references or Easter eggs. For instance, the ‘White Bear’ symbol appears in the game, and you might also spot a character named Colin Ritman.
Do you need to watch Plaything before you play Thronglets?
Technically, it’s not necessary to watch the ‘Plaything’ episode of Black Mirror before playing Thronglets; however, doing so might enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the game since themes or elements from the episode may be incorporated into it.
Yet, it’s advisable to be aware that this game features video diaries by Mohan Tucker from Tuckersoft, along with some peculiar elements that might surprise you if you’re not familiar with the series’ history.
Apart from ‘Common People’, ‘Bête Noire’, ‘Hotel Reverie’, ‘Eulogy’, and ‘USS Callister: Into Infinity’, we have additional breakdowns available for the rest of Black Mirror Season 7. Go ahead and delve deeper into these episodes if you wish! Additionally, we’ve gathered the music from Black Mirror Season 7, along with some fun Easter egg discoveries.
