I have just uploaded a new version with voice synthesis and voice recognition. Go ahead and play the game using your own voice! Also, robots will answer with their own voice too :-)

More stores

If you prefer, you can also download the game from the Microsoft Store. I will maintain both stores from now on. The Microsoft store has some advantages over downloading the zip, like automatic updates, the feedback hub, and helpful metrics for me to understand how people use the game.

Talking English

Remember that you have to talk in English :-). If you are not a native English speaker, the voice recognition may not be optimal. For English speaking players, you may want to know that I have set the locale settings to United States English (the largest chunk of downloads came from there). I will add a setting to select other variants in the future.

Technical (and financial) details

I am using Azure Cognitive Services to add voice features. This is a pay per use service, but with a number of free interactions per month. I don’t expect the game to cost me money most months, but we will see. I might add a pay as you want option, so you can help me cover the server expenses if they grow prohibitive.

Have fun!

I hope you try and enjoy this new version! Please, let me know what you think of this approach in the comments. Thank you for playing!

Thank you for sending us the conversations! After each game, Turing Adventure asks you for permission to send us the conversations you had with the NPC. They *help us a lot* to improve the conversation experience! Thank you! :-)

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
