About us
Hey there! We love games and interactive stories — and we'd like to tell you a story here as well: ours.
Driven by this enthusiasm for games and narration, we met for the first time on December 13, 2023 at Macromedia in Leipzig. That's where the idea of the Narranauten was born. A lot has happened since then: We've organized game jams and barcamps, launched the first German-language conference for interactive storytelling in games, joined panel discussions and gave workshops. On our YouTube channel we started a live format — and on itch.io you can play the results of our jams.
Who are "we" exactly? The people behind the Narranauten are Marcus Klöppel, Barbara Mendes Jenner, Emilia Weigelt, Josephine Fischer, Robert Boehm, Noreen Sell, and Johanna Daher.
It won't stop with just us, because the story isn't over — we're just getting started writing it! We're currently planning events for 2026. We're also in the process of founding the Narranauten as a registered association. That means: you'll soon be able to officially become a member of the Narranauten community! We'll keep you posted.
Have a wonderful day — we hope to see, read, and hear from you!
