BECAUSE YOUR STORY MATTERS.

We are Story Node, a collective of freelancers offering bespoke German localization for your game. We are three seasoned industry veterans with decades of combined professional experience.Narrative-heavy games are our speciality. We love complex, dark, serious, grown-up stories. And funny ones, too. We believe that video games are just as much a cultural expression as traditional storytelling mediums like novels or movies. As such, they deserve the utmost care.Your story matters! We take our time. We meticulously craft each line by hand. We make sure your game feels like it was originally written in German, not in English.The German versions we provide to you are 100% free of machine-translation and do not rely on any "AI", such as Large Language Models. We are firm believers in the spark of human creativity.You have a game you want to bring to the German-speaking market and share our values? Let's talk and make it happen!
