Charlie Brooker’s Netflix series about tech-driven dystopias, Black Mirror , returns with a mobile video game tie-in called Thronglets .

The game has the same name in real life as it does in the show in the series.

Night School Studios worked closely with Brooker to create “an artifact” from the show people could experience.

“We want you to fall in love with this character. We want you to multiply them, but guess what—you're also raising them these creatures are a reflection of you, ultimately.”Black Mirror’s new season premiers on Netflix today, April 10 . Krankel wouldn’t disclose many details about how Thronglets ties into the “Plaything” episode but did say there are ways in which “the game talks to the show and vice versa there are things attached to the show that will talk back to the game.”.
