Netflix has released a very strange simulation game called Thronglets that is tied to the new Black Mirror Season 7 episode called Plaything.
It’s a simple game based on retro graphics where you grow your small animals dubbed Thronglets in a simulation. If you watch the Plaything episode (No. 7 in the new season), you’ll understand what this game is about and what could go wrong with a simple life sim game. Like it’s simple Stranger Things games, it’s yet another bet on gaming for Netflix‘s fledgling game business.
“It’s about tamagotchi gone wrong,” said Shaun Krenkel, founder of Night School Studio, a Netflix-owned studio, which made Thronglets. Now the general manager of games, Krenkel was speaking at a secret Game Developers Conference Netflix event where Charlie Brooker, creator of the Black Mirror show on Netflix, tuned in via video call.
