<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Netflix is delisting all but four of its interactive titles<\/a> by Dec. 1. The streaming service kicked off its foray into interactive titles in 2017, and there was a time when Netflix was putting out a new interactive special every few months or so, but it\u2019s been over a year since the last one dropped in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And I would know, as a person who\u2019s been systemically going through every single one<\/a>, playing them, and figuring out just how interactive they are.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a pity, because the most recent title, Choose Love<\/em>, finally delivered on the dating sim potential of these interactives. (Never mind that the main character had literally no<\/em> reason to be flirting with other dudes when her fianc\u00e9 was literally perfect for her). However, come December, Choose Love<\/em> will be removed from the platform, along with my other favorite interactive titles, like Barbie: Epic Road Trip <\/em>(which is surprisingly nuanced!), You vs. Wild: Out Cold<\/em> (the best of the Bear Grylls-themed interactives), and Escape the Undertaker<\/em> (which surprised me in how interested it made me in WWE lore). So if you ever wanted to help Barbie achieve her dreams, or if you\u2019d like to get a slightly amnesiac Bear Grylls out of the wilderness, you should load up those titles sooner rather than later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The only four titles that will remain are \u200b\u200bBlack Mirror: Bandersnatch<\/em>, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend<\/em>, Ranveer vs. Wild with Bear Grylls<\/em>, and You vs. Wild<\/em>. The latter three are fine<\/em>. Bandersnatch<\/em>, while impressive and expansive, is a bit too dark for my tastes. I always appreciated the sheer variety the interactives had, though, yes, they did veer toward silly and lighthearted most of the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean Netflix is doing away entirely with interactive titles tied to their existing franchises. Netflix has an official visual novel app<\/a> called Netflix Stories<\/a> in the line of Episode<\/em> and Choices: Stories You Play<\/a><\/em>, and it\u2019s exclusively built around their shows. There are games for Outer Banks<\/em>, Emily in Paris<\/em>, Love is Blind<\/em>, Perfect Match<\/em>, Selling Sunset<\/em>, and more. I haven\u2019t tried this out yet, but the moment they make a Bridgerton<\/a><\/em> one, you can bet I\u2019ll immediately be trying to smooch Anthony Bridgerton<\/a>.<\/p>\n
