Earplay’s secret agent story, Codename Cygnus, is a seven-chapter interactive fictional world where you are a secret agent trying to accomplish your mission. Every choice you make, from playing along with her ruse to rummaging through her purse, will have consequences. In the demo, a woman sits at your table in a restaurant and asks you to pretend you know her. For some reason, you need to turn on notifications to enable this skill.Įarplay has more stories that you influence with your choices. Each will send you on a magical quest along a path strewn with magical objects, talking creatures, and occasionally creepy sounds. To start, Alexa will ask if you want to explore the mountains, sea, or forest. In this game, you get a monotone Alexa saying things like, “Oh, my, I’m really scared now,” in the exact same tone she replies that she’s turned your lights off. If you’ve never played a choose-your-own-adventure game with Alexa, you might want to start here, as it can be hard to go back to Alexa’s somewhat emotionless voice after listening to a game with actual voice actors (which we’ll get to later).
