When viewers watch the episode for the first time at their computers, a short tutorial video will pop up to instruct them to "keep your mouse or trackpad close at hand," as they will be presented different storylines throughout the viewing.

In subsequent chapters, viewers are offered "Yes" or "No" choices to decide what might befall the characters.

"Bandersnatch" tells the story of a young programmer who begins to question reality as he adapts a dark fantasy novel into a video game.

The show is Netflix's latest effort to create interactive TV products after its "Puss in Book" animation, which allowed audiences to choose between different story endings.
