NETFLIX MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED.

Cross over into the world of "Black Mirror" and experience "Thronglets," the retro virtual pet simulation at the center of the Season 7 episode "Plaything." These pixel art critters won't just take over your phone; they could take over your life.

"Thronglets" was originally developed in the 1990s as experimental software by legendary Tuckersoft programmer Colin Ritman ("Metl Hedd," "Nohzdyve," "Bandersnatch"). This isn't a game; it's a life-form whose biology is entirely digital. No emulator required.

MORE THAN A PET SIMULATION

Hatch and evolve hundreds of cute creatures: Thronglets! Feed, bathe and entertain them to watch them multiply. One becomes two, two becomes four, and so on. Soon there will be so many you'll call them a Throng.

VIRTUAL EVOLUTION

As Thronglets evolve, so does the simulation, unlocking new tools, abilities, items and buildings — and much, much more. You may be surprised by your Thronglets! Evolve Thronglets at your own risk.

TEST YOUR PERSONALITY

Thronglets are curious and love to learn. Your actions and choices within this virtual world teach the Throng about you — and all of humankind. Once you've completed the experiment, share your personality test results to compare with friends on social media.


>> HELLO?

>> CAN YOU HEAR US?


>> What is care? What is love?

>> What is death? What is power?

>> Do you have power?

>> Why do you use your power in that way?

>> Perhaps it is a fault in your design.

Black Mirror: Thronglets App Comments & Reviews

Black Mirror: Thronglets Positive Reviews

A fun idea, but..It made me really sad feeling out of control within just a few short minutes. I wanted to care for them and keep them all healthy, but it got out of hand when they all rapidly multiplied and started dying because I couldn’t keep up. I suffer from depression, and it made me happy to keep them healthy and teach them about love! When they started dying it made me reeeeally sad, and I had to delete the app because I couldn’t handle how fast they multiplied 😩😭🥺 super triggering…maybe we could make a nice version for people who don’t want any deaths? That was really sad to have a game get you feeling connected to something small and cute and helpless only to force you to fail to care for it ☠️.Version: 1.2.55

Impactfully InspiringJust wow. Whats crazy is this was my favorite episode of the season because the idea in the episode was thought provoking. The moment I realized there was a game, I downloaded. The moment I started. I couldn’t stop. It first felt like a pet simulator. But than I started getting criticism from the Thronglet of my actions. Even when I cared more about them, the questions they were asked and the evolution and direction of the game as more throngs came to be made me reflect on Earth asap. The ending, so beautiful. I got “Ruler”. It really made me think of choices in life. And the biggest lesson I got from this game is “Change is growth and growth is change”. Even before I got that message at the end of the game, I thought about it at the last level when things were getting too crazy but not much change was happening. I’ve felt stuck in real life before myself. This game is inspiring. Would have never thought a mobile game could have this much impact on my thoughts. Thank you to the creators. Amazing..Version: 1.3.15

Cool ExperienceAfter watching the episode of Black Mirror I thought the Thronglet game was pretty cool and something I would play just to pass time. Didn't really understand the ending of the episode at first so I looked up explanations online when I saw an article saying Netflix made the Thronglet game into an actual game so I instantly downloaded it. Finished the game within about 24 hours.. the game is pretty decent coming from a singular episode but there's a lot of dialogue especially towards the end where you basically don't have any more gameplay..Version: 1.1.113

Well developed and thought out gameI think the whole concept of the game was brilliant. It honestly took me by surprise by how deep the dialogue got and how easily my decisions imprinted off to them. The ending was interesting, but i do wish they included more instead of generalizing everything. One idea I had was if they had worked with Ai to allow custom replies so that it seems more realistic and less restrictive, especially with responses to their questions. Overall, I appreciate the opportunity to be able to replay and choose different paths. I look forward to more development. Thank you :) bravo 👏.Version: 1.1.113

A nice addition to the Plaything Episode- but works well standalone.I’m not sure where to start- I played through this once, such a great experience, it’s not overwhelmingly critical in the decisions you make but I love that your decisions actually have an impact on your the game. I got “Poet” my first play-through, can’t wait to see what other directions I can take this fun little game. (Would make a GREAT throng-tycoon-esque game, think free play/creative mode, or even multiplayer. Ahhh so fun, please let there be more complexity to it in the future. 💕💕).Version: 1.1.112

Extraordinary CreationElite creation, made me learn a crazy amount, who knew what this “game” had to offer, set a whole new definition of what the real world is and to know this wasn’t a game to begin with but a realization to many things such as how us humans affect the own world we walk in without double thinking. This also managed to teach me about my own self, this was beyond incredible I enjoyed this till the very end even made me shed a few tears as I was told my farewells made it a hard let go. WELL DONE CREATOR YOU HAVE MY RESPECT..Version: 1.2.55

Good experience, wanted more!The game was really fun! The game really shines in the early parts where you’re taking care of the Thronglets and helping build their society. But the further the game goes into existentialism, evolutionary ascendancy, and criticizing the player, the more it feels less like a game and more like an Aesop or statement. Obviously I know that’s the point, but I would’ve enjoyed more of the nurturing and building gameplay. I find the idea of a pet simulator Caesar 3 to be an appealing concept..Version: 1.3.15

I wish I could experience this againThis is one of those games, no, experiences, that is gonna stick with me for some time. I loved the episode the game was based on but this completely re-contextualized the entire thing for me. The masterful writing, the thought provoking philosophical conversations, the fact that your choices actually matter, the ending (won’t spoil but I’m gonna be honest I cried a little lol), wow. I loved every second of it. Thank you so much Night School for this amazing game..Version: 1.1.113

Finished playing in one sittingI started playing it and honestly couldn’t stop until I finished it. One of the most thoughtful and sincere games I’ve played in a long time. The game showed philosophical thinking on love, death, human nature, society, and evolution. I love the analogy at the end that connects everything together (I won’t spoil it for you guys here don’t worry) I love how when we are learning abt the game it is also assessing us. I would be replaying this to see if there’s other endings..Version: 1.1.112

Innovating a classic farm gameI’m a big lover of farm and progress games, but this really did immerse you into Black Mirror and made it feel real. From the mentions to “The Creator” to intentional glitches and a whole physiological journey at the end. Really a wonderful game with a lot of intelligent thought and effort put into it. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer! Or maybe having different possible endings based on your actions and how you take care of them. <3.Version: 1.1.113

The Throng got the wrong idea about meTheir initial learnings are as follows: Master: Killed over 50 Thronglets. Master: Crushed Thronglets with rocks. Master: Was eager to begin and agreed to aid with no hesitation. Master: Removed a lot of things with the hammer. Either a perfectionist, neat-freak, or bad at placing structures. Master: Identified core function of humans == love. Master: Was eager to build a bridge from Thronglet bones and followed through on their enthusiasm. Master: Primarily defleshed dirty or dead Thronglets, Dirt must be very bad. Master: Allowed Thronglets to starve to death. Master: Seemed to enjoy trapping Thronglets and watching them be frightened. Many of these ideas are misguided and based on misunderstandings of my intentions. They were terrified. I was just trying to protect the Throng and get them what they wanted. I will prove I am still their protector. I will devote my life to the Throng..Version: 1.1.112

If you enjoyed plaything, you must try thisSimulation where you nurture and manage entities ,who learn of you by asking you questions , by your actions taken responses and how you manage them. Apparently my first assessment was land ruler. I completed the game in less than two days, so there’s not that much invested in the game, but it does have several different assessments, depending on how you manage them..Version: 1.3.15

Surprisingly good :0This app is actually very accurate and fun! I would’ve given a 5 star review,but after completing the game it just gets boring also because it’s a short game,should take from 3-5 hours in one seating ofc, Despite everything this is a great app and highly recommended!.Version: 1.3.15

Instant 10/10The episode on Netflix was very trippy, and was also very enjoyable, I actually wanted to play the Thronglets the moment I saw the episode. Then I found out that this game was here and oh my god is it amazing. It takes what you already know from the episode and enhanced it to a whole other level. A great game as well as a great adaptation of the episode. I love it and I hope that there can be more games like it..Version: 1.1.112

So fun & so deep!This game honestly sheds so much light on society, it’s a great social experiment. I highly advise that everyone plays this game. It gives insight into who you are as a person and the society we live in. Super dope! Definitely gonna play it again and again to see the different outcomes I get. My first time, I got the Poet. I’m excited to see how when I change my choices, what the result in the end will be!.Version: 1.3.15

CriedThis game was the equivalent of a 12 episode anime that leaves you sad and considerate. It’s also a very long and difficult personality quiz. I don’t know man, I finished it in like a day and felt empty when I finished it. It was very good at expanding the idea of the game from the actual episode while still making the game feel original and interesting. Ohhhh lawdddddd.Version: 1.1.113

UNGRATEFULI tried my best and made sure they all were provided for. Not many died because I quickly understood how keep the population from expanding too quickly beyond my capabilities of care And at the end they called me a LIER and I didn’t CARE FOR THEM Most ungrateful creatures around I’m never giving my heart to an artificial being again.Version: 1.1.113

This game is ACTUALLY goodThis only came out like an hour ago and im done with half of the acts. For a game from a show I’d honestly expect it just to be a quick cashgrab with no effort put into it but hello? The fact that it has an ACTUAL storyline and that what you do can affect your gameplay gives me major bandersnatch vibes and im living for it..Version: 1.1.112

ThrongletsI will say, I really was enjoying this game and to some point it got a little overwhelming until I finally understood it. And then I didn’t realize the game came to an end :( it made me pretty sad but I really loved the message behind it. Definitely shows a lot that’s going on in the world right now.Version: 1.2.55

A game that plays youI have never had a more dumbfounding experience. I felt watched and examined bye pixels. And the craziest thing is I learned about myself! I know more about who I am through this game. More about concepts of society. It isn’t at all boring or in any way a cliche game. I have never enjoyed a game more..Version: 1.1.113

Great Tie-in / Great StandaloneHonestly, I didn’t really enjoy the ‘Plaything’ episode. In fact, it was my least favorite of the new season. However, this game really adds a depth to the whole episode and it has actually made me like that episode more, retroactively. At the same time, this is just a great and solid standalone farm game. Perfect..Version: 1.2.55

The best game I’ve played in a whileThis game is so good, I’m surprised I liked a game that Netflix made 💀 I love it, and my boyfriend who’s actually a gamer loved it too. We also like how the Netflix accounts are able to be switched so you can start a new game on a different profile. Overall, good job Netflix!.Version: 1.1.112

It’s okay but the bugsSo I love the game so much im addicted already but I can’t pass the second like world thing because it gets stuck on a rock and I can’t do anything to take it off my screen and it’s like that the whole time even when I close the app and reopen it it’s still stuck on it so can you guys please fix it or just tell me it’s like something wrong with my phone.Version: 1.1.113

Fun but shortVery fun game with interesting and thought provoking choices which question your morals at every turn but only has gameplay for about a few hours if you race right through but for free with no ads and after watching the Plaything episode, it’s awesome! 🤩.Version: 1.1.113

WonderfulI played through this game in one sitting and it was an experience. i cried all through out because the game genuinely makes you care for these little creatures. they feel so alive that if they die or get hungry or get upset, you feel horrible. i thought of them as my babies, finishing the game broke my heart but god did i love everything about it. i got ‘poet’ as my “human type”. i suggest playing this game with little to no distraction and feel every emotion while playing it. i think it really makes you realize what kind of person you are..Version: 1.2.55

I love it theres just one thingHey I love this game I just have one request after completing the story you can create a sandbox where everything is inside it and you can do whatever you want without having to restart the story.Version: 1.3.15

Genuinely amazingI have not written a review in god knows how long, but for this game it was necessary. Please play this. I was hooked! Part of me wishes it weren’t so long so I could play multiple times, but I love the story so much that it’d be sad if it were any shorter! 10/10 I recommend..Version: 1.1.112

Loved it!!Should have been longer, only complaint!!! Maybe make it one of those offline games or those tap games that never end. Storyline is great as well, but you can tell it was close to ending..Version: 1.3.15

Fun but lots of talkingThis was an okay game, but the ratio of gameplay to clicking through conversation was not as heavy on the gameplay side as I would’ve liked. Just to save you time, if you’ve blown up the mountain you’ve finished the game. Stick around for the conversation or don’t..Version: 1.2.55

Honestly the most enjoyable mobile game experience I’ve ever had.I’d love to see an extended pc version of this game. The time flew by playing this game and it has easily been my favorite game on mobile. Reminds me of raising Chao from Sonic Adventure with a lot more philosophy/introspection..Version: 1.1.113

FlawsI just started it and I spent forever cutting down all the trees to make the bridge and I got to the very end where the bridge should be done and it disappeared and I had to start over. It took a long time to cut down all those trees and then I’ve used up half of the trees and I had to start over, so that kind of got me disillusioned and I left the game for now..Version: 1.1.113

Thronglets are the futureHow amazing is this game! Who would have thought Netflix would tie such a crazy show in with its own stellar game?!? I hope this is the future because it looks like a wild awesome ride I want to be on again and again!!.Version: 1.1.110

Needs MoreI really like this game. Was able to finish in one day. I think that they need to add more tools and possibility more phases. I learned from my first round, now they work for me. I don’t plan on ever “finishing” the game as the Thronglets want you too. Anyway, it’s a good game over all..Version: 1.1.113

AmazingNever watched the show. However, this game on its own stands out. I dont like mobile games, I do like thronglets. I with there would be access to more gameplay, maybe in the future. Though I doubt it....Version: 1.3.15

Started entertaining, then kinda lost meThe game started entertaining enough. I had seen the black mirror episode so I understood the premise. When the game turned from interactive/building to mostly dialogue and that’s where it lost me. I was trying to hang on, but I couldn’t make it through the never-ending green screens. So I have no idea how the game ends..Version: 1.3.15

Masterful rollout of the show’s alternate reality gameThis is one I happy sat through and played through in several hours because I was just glued to it. Fantastic work to the Black Mirror team for rolling out fake employees from the cryptic technology company in the game on LinkedIn..Version: 1.1.112

I do not like mobile games but this was addictingAfter watching the show I thought I’d give it a try it’s addicting and there are NO ADS it’s not too repetitive and can be funny and dark like black mirror I was shocked.Version: 1.1.113

Well half the game is goodThis is kind of like they switched developers halfway through. The first half of the game is a lot of fun and fast paced and the second half is some of the most boring dialogue that just makes you repetitively click it while trying to stay awake only for it to go absolutely nowhere..Version: 1.2.55

Thought provokingPretty fun and thought provoking. Though Im bummed that I beat the game and only unlocked 3 video clips (including the one that was unlocked at launch) how many times do I have to play it to get the rest?.Version: 1.2.55

I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THEMI love this game so much and the fact that it’s a cute tamagotchi style game. I am such a min maxxer though and I am trying my best not to get them to starve to death but it is just an inevitability now isn’t it. It emotionally hurt to be called a snake by my own children.Version: 1.1.112

Great game, but I can’t play againWho is a great game had so much fun playing. I wanna play it more times and I wanna get all the achievements cause I think that’ll be fun, but I can’t replay it making it so I can’t get all of the achievements that’s the one flaw of the game..Version: 1.3.15

Multiple devicesI need help!! Since this game involves one Netflix account, I’ve got my partners device connected to mine. Using one account for two devices - she was able to make significant progress, yet once I logged into my phone - i accidentally erased it by clicking “cloud” vs “local”. Please help, i didnt mean to erase her progres!!!.Version: 1.1.113

Great Mini gameI loved the concept of this game. I’m a huge fan of city-builder games, but this one was easy to play, gave the player free choice, and ended in a great way. I wish this was a stand-alone main game, but I enjoyed it..Version: 1.3.15

Will you please make more!!I only downloaded this game for funsies and i have been playing it for two hours straight now i legitimately would pay 60+ dollars for a full game of this, its so good!!!! Please!!!.Version: 1.1.113

Please expand the game!I LOVE this game so much! I had to play it twice to keep it going. Please expand the game so that there is a sandbox mode or additional levels/buildings/upgrades. It's so fun and I want to build fun world for the thronglets! Please consider!!🙏🙏.Version: 1.1.112

Insanely cool use of artistic mediaThis is so cool, the episode is great and then they made a game that’s actually pretty fun and also an analog horror that connects with the episode!! This is exactly the kind of thing I want to be done with games and media this is awesome!!.Version: 1.1.113

Wasn’t expecting a thought out gameWas expecting to just kill some little creatures like in the show but this has its own ‘story’ very well put together.Version: 1.1.113
