Today, Superstring launches a new update for its ambitious narrative ARG. The Acolyte: Voice Within Update is a substantial 1.1 update to the game which includes dynamic, fully-voiced dialogue thanks to a partnership with TTS-developers, ReadSpeaker.
Alongside TTS functionality, the Voice Within Update includes a new Horoscope Module, new Jokes and Interesting Facts (all of which can be retrieved via natural language input), hundreds of lines of new dialogue, and a slew of fixes and improvements.
Acolyte takes advantage of the Spirit AI Character Engine, allowing players to converse with their Acolyte in real-time via a series of text exchanges. The full game combines non-linear storytelling with ambitious puzzles and wider ARG (Alternate Reality Game) elements for a unique narrative that spills out of the game and into the real world.
