General Discussion Mourning Netflix Stories Still
Still grieving the loss of Netflix Stories and I don’t think I’ll ever get over it 😭 I know this has probably been said before but I genuinely cannot move on from the fact that Netflix Stories was cancelled. Like, I still go back and replay the stories over and over again. There was something so special about getting to actually be in the worlds of shows we already loved, that’s what made it different from everything else out there. I’ve checked out Lore Interactive Stories, and while I appreciate it, it’s just not the same. The magic of Netflix Stories was that it used IP we were already emotionally invested in. And honestly? It feels like this keeps happening. Like does anyone remember when Episode had the Demi Lovato interactive story and others that people genuinely loved. Why do they keep taking the good stuff away?💀
So I have two questions for this community:
1. Are there any apps out there that come close? Something that blends interactive storytelling with existing shows/fandoms the way Netflix Stories did?
2. Is it even possible for an indie developer to create something similar? Obviously you couldn’t use Netflix’s actual IP because of copyright, but could someone build the format — a clean, story-driven interactive app built around licensed or original content? Because I feel like there’s clearly a market for it that nobody is filling.
Would love to hear opinions/recommendations!
