Everyone is talking about the latest episode in the Black Mirror anthology series, Bandersnatch, and with good reason; set in 1984, the interactive instalment puts you in control of key decisions throughout the film, meaning you can choose how the episode plays outs.
Released on Netflix on December 28, Bandersnatch is a natural evolution of Black Mirrorâs paranoid depictions of technology â as well as Netflixâs growing interest in interactive media on its streaming platform, such as Minecraft: Story Mode. It follows budding games designer Stefan Butler as he pitches his choose-your-own-adventure game, Bandersnatch, to games company, Tuckersoft.
In typical Black Mirror fashion, no stone has been left unturned with the creation of a suitably retro-looking website for Tuckersoft, which features in the episode. Not only that, but you can play one of the games from the episode, called Nohzdyve with the help of an ZX Spectrum emulator.
A word of warning thought â itâs best not to explore the site until youâve watched the episode in case you inadvertently stumble across any spoilers.

A still from Black Mirrorâs Bandersnatch on Netflix.
How do I play Black Mirrorâs Nohzdyve game?
Whatâs interesting about the Tuckersoft website, is that there are multiple versions of it out there for you to explore, mirroring the different possible outcomes of Bandersnatch itself (spoilers ahead).
The regular version of the website, which was discovered via a QR code in the episode, advertises Tuckersoftâs games lineup, including Nohzdyve. However, on a different version of the website, which can be accessed by removing the âwww.â prefix from the URL, it states that the game was never completed due to a âbleak turn of eventsâ.
Nohzdyve is a free falling game in which you need to avoid obstacles and collect eyeballs. To play the game, youâll need to head to the regular version of the website, and click on the download button to get the .tap file.
As itâs a .tap file, the game can only be played using a ZX spectrum emulator like Speccy (for the uninitiated, the ZX Spectrum was an 8-bit personal home computer released in the UK in the early 80s).
Right now, it doesnât look like the title game, Bandersnatch, is available to play anywhere â but with multiple possible realities, itâs probably only a matter of time before itâs discovered on a similarly obscure website somewhere.
