Hey folks! This is Malcolm, and I felt practically obligated to write up a review/analysis of Bandersnatch for obvious reasons. This is cross-posted from my blog over at redbirdmenace.com, but we thought our fans might be interested as well!

Netflix has released their first (relatively) adult-oriented interactive film, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. As someone who writes narrative-focused games with branching narratives, I’d be remiss to completely ignore Bandersnatch and as someone who wants to promote himself (however reluctantly) I’d be stupid not to weigh in on a moment of cultural zeitgeist.

If you don’t know what Bandersnatch is and care about spoilers, I’d recommend that you stop reading this post. I’m gonna spoil the shit out of Bandersnatch. If you care, go watch/play it before you read any further.
