Toronto developer Budgie recently unveiled its interactive mystery game Detective X, which is available now on Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant devices. The game will allow players to choose their own adventure as they use their voice to try and foil a dangerous killer’s plan from coming to fruition.
A choose-your-own-adventure-style thriller with roots in narrative-driven role-playing games, this interactive fiction contains additional mini-games ranging from an escape room to a bomb defusing – all seamlessly built into a Hollywood narrative of homicide detectives struggling to outsmart a serial killer.
Featuring a chilling combination of professional voice actors, sound effects, original script and soundtrack, Detective X elevates beyond the typical voice app experience to create an immersive adventure inspired by classic sci-fi films like Bladerunner and Robocop.
In a first for voice gaming, in addition to the game’s launch on Amazon and Google, the Detective X original soundtrack is available on music streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music and more.
