Deadbots Tell No Tales
A downloadable game
Created for Global Game Jam 17 - Theme: Waves
Take on the role of captain in this aural adventure on the high seas. Sail upon the waves of the Atlantic using sound waves as your only controller via Amazon's Alexa. No hands? No literacy? No eyes? No problem. It can be played by anyone who can speak and understand English, and tolerate nonsense. Best of all: it utilizes the fastest dedicated graphics processor on the market - your imagination.

Install instructions
Amazon Alexa skills cannot be easily installed by an end-user. Once DBTNT is completed, it will be available on the Amazon store for all Echo users to enjoy, but as of now, it's still possible to try it out for yourself. The file available to download is a markdown file with installation instructions to install your own copy of Deadbots Tell No Tales into your own Amazon Developer account, linked to your Echo device. Please note - this process is extremely complicated and at your own risk! If you'd rather not go through all this trouble, there's no harm in waiting for the full release.
