EARPLAY DEMO
The Earplay Demo is an introductory demonstration of Earplay storytelling and style. It is written and hosted by the legendary Dave Grossman, Earplay's creative lead, and one of the most prominent interactive story writers in the games industry.

THE ORPHEUS DEVICE
An interactive audio horror story! Use the Orpheus Device to engage in a conversation with a malevolent Wraith of the Shadowlands. This story is produced in collaboration with White Wolf Publishing. It is a teaser for a full length story scheduled to release this winter. White Wolf (http://www.white-wolf.com/) is a licensing company focused on creating the best participatory brands in the world. Since its original entry into the roleplaying games market in 1991, White Wolf’s World of Darkness has grown to be one of the most recognized and successful brands in the hobby game space. White Wolf's World of Darkness brands include Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Wraith: The Oblivion, and Orpheus among many others.

HALF: A TWO-SIDED SURREALIST ADVENTURE
Is the glass half full... or half empty? This mindbending story by Dave was devised as a test to stretch the boundaries of the Earplay storytelling system. It will keep you guessing until you find a way to wake up...

CODENAME CYGNUS REACTIVATED
This includes an updated version of the Prologue chapter of the first ever voice-operated interactive audio story, a spy thriller where you play the secret agent.

Interesting short experiments, I look forward to seeing this evolve.


Demo Review
Jim Groves

I tried a few demos, the Orpheus Device being chief among them. I am all White Wolf/Onyx Path fan. The demo was quite moody and atmospheric and had good sound production values. I see that Project Cygnus is available, but this review does not reflect having tried it. My concern is whether a full version of the game will tell a full and complete story, rather than just some interesting conversational by-play. That said, I'm giving it a five star review based upon the demos. I'll be looking for a more robust narrative in the full versions, but it would be premature to mark it down now. I really look forward to complete stories in the future!


Great first run

Audio storytelling
Dogmana

Wonderful app! Would very much like to see more adventures. Thank you for making the app accessible for the visually impaired community and interesting enough to be exciting for those who want an audio experience and not just a visual one.


Entertaining!

I'm a new mom and I get tired of watching TV or movies while feeding my baby. This was really entertaining! I used it with the echo dot!


Good demos
