A pixelated video game, a mysterious fantasy adventure book, VHS tapes, ’80s music and a whole lot of surreal horror make the upcoming Black Mirror: Bandersnatch on Netflix look like a retro treat.

The trailer landed Thursday for the new 90-minute Black Mirror special debuting Friday, Dec. 28. 

The special could be the highly anticipated choose-your-own-adventure experience hinted at earlier this year.

It’s set in 1984. In the trailer, a computer programmer turns an adventure fantasy novel called Bandersnatch into a video game. But in true dark Black Mirror fashion his task turns into a warped nightmare where the lines between reality and fiction blur.
