I created a board game alternative for evil people

Guys, I have something to brag about. After almost a year of hard learning, I finally created my first mobile game! Storiado is a board game alternative that will make you wonder what’s wrong with your friends. Play by answering simple questions, mix all the answers, and generate the most twisted story you’ve ever read. And then read it aloud, well, if you can manage it.

Game is available for

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/storiado-twisted-party-game/id6449257650

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beakbyte.storiado

Have you ever played Consequences? It’s a simple game where you create a story by answering questions and mixing up the answers. We love playing it with friends; it’s a ton of fun and laughs, but the problem was that you needed several sheets of paper and pens for each game. We decided to solve this issue and created Storiado, a twisted party game that essentially follows very similar rules to Consequences, but additionally, an AI generates a story from all players’ answers. The more twisted answers you come up with, the better the story will be. Of course, the funniest stories always come out when you answer using inside jokes, etc. Both the answers and the generated story must be read aloud to the rest of the friends, and believe me, sometimes it’s hard. The game has a single-player mode, but to experience the full potential of Storiado, we recommend a minimum of 2 players. The more, the better.

Please let me know what you think about it. Thanks!

akwd169,

Wow I was so excited to try this out until I saw the absurd level of permissions you require

I immediately lost interest

I find it very disconcerting that you have no response to other comments asking what your board game app could possibly need to use my fingerprints and other biometrics for

possiblylinux127,

Source code?

nutsack,

im having a social anxiety attack just reading this thanks

btw the app language should be based on the one set in the os, not location

hardaysknight,

This is fantastic. I do wish you could read both stories and be able to vote who had the best story

we have been playing a game like this eith the kids. could you make an under 13 version?

Sunny, (edited )

Could you please explain the need for so many permissions(35)?

Like why would a board game need access to:

  • Biometrics
  • Fingerprint
  • Receive Boot Completed??

Biometrics are one thing, why does this need read/write to external storage and settings, and system alert permissions?

Rai,

There’s absolutely no non-nefarious reason this app would need those permissions. Gross.

jol,

Seems like a red flag to me.

The lack of response to this question by OP further reddens the flag.

jol,

OPs flag is so red shifted it’s invisible by now.

Baahb,

Mad libs!

Sensitivezombie,

Great concept. Not excited about solo mode. For those who lack in the friends department, perhaps a multiplayer mode would be suitable. This the only thing that is keeping me away from downloading your app. Unfortunately, there are a large majority of people, specifically in the millennial and onward generations, in the same situation as myself. Something to consider.

Very nice! Would be nice to turn off all vibrations/noises from the app

JackGreenEarth,

That should be a phone setting, not an app setting.

My phone is muted/silenced and im still experiencing vibrations. Other apps do not vibrate when my device is changed to mute. (Galaxy Note 9)

friends

Guess I’m out then

inset,

If you would like to spend a little more time for us and you use ProductHunt, please also upvote here https://www.producthunt.com/posts/storiado , it’s really hard to get through there. Thanks!

toothpaste_sandwich,

I hope i can find people to play this with me sometime. Looks like it has potential, and my solo try was amusing.

Perhaps some kind of prompt to get the creativity flowing more would help, with the questions asked. “Who scared you lately?” “What interesting place did you learn about recently?” Idunno something like that?

inset,

This is a great idea, thank you for that. We will definitely introduce something like this.

pumpkinseedoil,

Looks interesting, but I think a website would be better suited for this (so people can spontaneously play it without having to download anything). Please consider making one :)

inset,

We will definitely consider it, thank you for your opinion.

electric,

Congrats! I’ll have to see who I can play this with, looks funny.

inset,

Thanks! I’m sure you’ll be able to find someone, maybe even here.
