Netflix releases Thronglets game tied to Black Mirror ‘Plaything’ episode


Netflix has released a very strange simulation game called Thronglets that is tied to the new Black Mirror Season 7 episode called Plaything.

The Plaything episode brought back Colin Ritman (played by Will Poulter), the wacko game designer from Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, an interactive film that let viewers choose the way they wanted the plot to go. Ritman worked for Tuckersoft, which is credited for creating Thronglets, and was run by Mohan “Mo” Thakur (Asim Chaudhry), who also comes back in the new episode. Under interrogation, he faces a cynical detective James Nelson Joyce (DCI Kano) and a more humane psychotherapist named Michele Austin (Jen Minter).
