Out now

Nemesis: the new StoryZone

We rebuilt StoryZone from the ground up – new app, new look, a memory you can see and a new companion with a monocle. Here's an exclusive look at what's coming.

Sneak peek

Four first glimpses

  1. 01

    Read like a book

    New: chapters are written live. The quill starts writing and you read along word by word instead of waiting for a finished chapter. Between chapters you turn the page, just like in a book.

  2. 02

    A memory you can see

    Open the memory of your story: every character, every place, every secret. Something not quite right? With long-term memory you simply tell it in a text field – and the next chapter knows.

  3. 03

    A home screen just for you

    Pick two or three interests, and your home screen shows scenarios and stories that match them. At the top your stories to continue, with your daily task and streak.

  4. 04

    Build your world

    No more endless chats until everything fits. Give the fill-in helper a few keywords and it fills in every field at once – or just the one you’re missing. Get a suggestion for any field or let it expand your text, and undo is always one tap away.

Design previews – details may still differ in the app.

What’s new

Unlocked with Nemesis

  • Rate chapters

    Thumbs up or down. If something’s off – too short, too little happens, wrong tone – pick the reason and your story adjusts right away. Or have the chapter rewritten.

Your story speaks your language

The app, your chapters and the scenarios of other players – now in 28 languages. Write in your language and the story answers in it; published scenarios are translated automatically.

A new companion

Goodbye Ghostory. Hello, chameleon.

Ghostory was a great ghostwriter. With Nemesis he hands the quill to a companion as versatile as StoryZone itself: a chameleon with a monocle who changes colour with every genre and helps you whenever you’re stuck.
