Netflix is letting us choose our own nightmare with the release of its interactive film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. In the film set in 1984, Stefan Butler (Fionn Whitehead) struggles with mental illness while developing a choose-your-own-adventure game called Bandersnatch, which is based on the book of the same name by Jerome F. Davies. For the better part of four months, Stefan isolates himself in his room, tirelessly working to finish the game in time for video game company Tuckersoft to sell it.
Spoilers ahead!
There are five primary endings you can get to in Bandersnatch, but no matter if you chose to cut up or bury a dead body, or if you were really masochistic and chose Sugar Puffs cereal over Frosties at the beginning, we all saw the same nightmare unfold on screen: a scarily realistic look into the dark side of video game development.
