Netflix has expanded its Black Mirror universe by releasing a new mobile game titled Thronglets, which connects to the latest season’s episode, Plaything. This game pays homage to the popular 90s sensation, Tamagotchi.

In a blend of strategy gameplay and dark humor, players take care of virtual pets whose actions can turn ominous. The game’s protagonist, played by Peter Capaldi, becomes entangled in a chilling mystery involving a strange video game as illustrated in the episode.
