The much-anticipated indie game ‘Storyteller’ is set to make its debut on Netflix, marking the latest addition to the streaming platform’s burgeoning game roster. This innovative game, which revolves around creative writing, word puzzles, and crafting intricate narratives, will become available on Android and iOS via Netflix starting September 26th.
Annapurna Interactive is the publisher of Storyteller, which was launched on Switch and PC on March 23rd, after an extensive development period of over a decade. The solo developer, Daniel Benmergui, initially introduced Storyteller in 2011, with a prototype that subsequently bagged the Nuovo award for innovation at the Game Developers Conference in 2012. Despite a temporary hiatus, Benmergui eventually revived the project and partnered with Annapurna for publishing.
Storyteller provides a unique gameplay experience where players use comic book-like elements to craft narratives, manipulating the destinies of medieval characters, including their life events, deaths, and romantic interludes. This game uniquely portrays the chaotic yet rewarding process of creative writing, providing an engaging, often humorous, and thought-provoking experience.
Upon its September release on iOS and Android, Storyteller will also feature complimentary DLC that introduces fresh narratives for players to concoct. This bonus content will simultaneously become available on Switch and PC, free of charge.
Netflix’s collaboration with Storyteller is indicative of the streaming giant’s ongoing efforts to diversify its offerings with a range of indie games. As part of its mobile gaming expansion, Netflix is striving to accumulate nearly 100 titles in its portfolio by year-end, all available free for subscribers. The platform has already introduced a host of noteworthy games, including Kentucky Route Zero, Oxenfree, Spiritfarer, Into the Breach, Moonlighter, Laya’s Horizon, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, and Valiant Hearts: Coming Home. It has even acquired several prominent indie game studios, such as Oxenfree’s Night School Studio.
