So, there are already some good IF for Amazon’s Alexa yet?
Also, I wonder if there are skills that are interpreters for our common IF.
That is. Thanks.
“Interactive Fiction” is available to enable. Several other IF related skills are available.
There was a commercial interactive story some months back but I can no longer find it. I find that audio enabled IF is less satisfying than text. I have had access to Talking Books from the Library of Congress for many years. I lose interest rather quickly. When I am having trouble sleeping, I can always turn on a talking book…

Huh. Just recently a former student who now works for Amazon and has written some Alexa skills contacted me and offered to collaborate on some voice-based IF for Alexa.
He suggested I try The Magic Door to get started. I played through a couple of its adventures with my kids. It’s light fantasy and has a pretty decent amount of game, but it really is too aimed at children for my tastes. It would probably be a great game to play with the entire family on a long car ride, though.
I’m kind of intrigued by the possibilities of voice-based IF. Alexa is certainly a huge platform for reaching audiences, and there’s not much yet out there for it in terms of interactive stories (I think). I also wonder what kinds of games and stories work best with voice input as opposed to the parser or hyperlinked choice input that we tend to see in this community.

Here is another one:
a short one, very well produced:

It is based on the ubiquitous Do it, by Santiago Eximeno.
