8 Games Like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch You Can Play Right Now
Loved choosing Stefan's breakfast and ruining his life? Here's where to get that feeling again — bigger, darker, and mostly in your pocket.

Bandersnatch was most people’s first interactive film — and for most people it was also their last, because Netflix quietly retired its interactive catalogue and never told viewers where to go next. The answer: an entire genre, much of it better than Bandersnatch, most of it in your pocket. Catalogue titles tagged per our disclosure policy.
Revenge on Gold Diggers (from our catalogue)
Bandersnatch had five endings. This has 38.
If Bandersnatch was a five-hour experiment, this is the industrial-scale answer: 472 minutes of footage, 200+ decision points and 38 endings about infiltrating emotional-fraud rings. It became a genuine cultural event — ~50,000 Steam reviews, a naming controversy that made world news — and it’s coming to iPhone. The single most Bandersnatch-scale thing ever produced, several times over.
Breakout 13 (from our catalogue)
Where Bandersnatch played with control as a gimmick, Breakout 13 makes it the subject.
Bandersnatch toyed with the horror of being controlled; Breakout 13 commits to it. You’re a teenager inside an institution built to break your will, and every choice tests how much of yourself you’ll trade for survival — based on true stories, selected at Cannes Next, free to start on iPhone as Break 13 Out. The thematic heir Black Mirror fans are actually looking for. Context guide here.
Late Shift
The most mechanically Bandersnatch-like experience ever filmed: a seamless live-action heist movie where choices arrive in real time and the story never visibly stops to wait for you. One night in London, seven endings.
Dispatch
The 2025 mega-hit from Telltale veterans — animated rather than live-action, but the same DNA: a filmed-feeling series, weekly episode drops, choices with teeth, and an Aaron Paul lead performance. Three BAFTAs and 3–4 million copies later, it’s the proof that the Bandersnatch appetite never went away; Netflix just stopped feeding it. Our analysis.
Erica
The gothic thriller Netflix never made: full touch controls, real production design, and branching that reaches genuinely different final acts. Native on iPhone.
Immortality
Not choice-driven — you explore footage instead of steering it — but nothing since Bandersnatch has delivered a bigger “wait, WHAT” moment. Trust us and go in blind.
Her Story
The minimalist masterpiece that started the revival. One search box beats a thousand decision menus.
The Complex
A tidy contained thriller for the “I just want another one of those” evening.
The full mobile hub tracks every interactive film on iPhone, and the best FMV games of 2026 ranking goes deeper on each pick. New to the form? Sixty years of history in The Canon.
