    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Netflix is announcing not only a new game today but also a new line of narrative-driven experiences.

    It’s called Netflix Stories: Love is Blind, and — unsurprisingly — it’s a mobile game based on the popular Netflix reality show, where players can take on the role of a new contestant.

    The Love is Blind game launches on September 19th, and interested parties (who are also Netflix subscribers) can preregister to download it now.

    Perhaps more interesting than the single new game, however, is that the streamer says that more of these “Netflix Stories” titles are also in the works, including ones based on Money Heist and Virgin River.

    As Netflix continues to experiment with games on its service (which also includes expanding to new platforms beyond mobile), it seems that both narrative-focused games and titles based on existing Netflix properties are becoming a major focus.

    With that context, the Netflix Stories label makes a lot of sense and could be a way for the streamer to give a more defined shape to its fledgling game service.
