March 2, 2016: Investigate Wayne Murder in "Batman v Superman" Amazon Game

Batman v Superman Variety reports that Warner Bros. has teamed up with Amazon to create a new "Batman v Superman" game in which you attempt to solve the muder of Bruce Wayne's parents.

"The Wayne Investigation" chose-your-own-adventure game is available only on the Amazon Echo smart loudspeaker or an Amazon Fire TV with Alexa integration, and lets users immerse themselves in the world of Gotham, just days after Bruce Wayne's parents were killed.

    Amazon's personal assistant Alexa doubles as a user's ears and eyes during this investigation, guiding them through multiple rooms, giving them choices and helping them to find valuable clues.

    Think of it as a kind of interactive radio adventure if you will, complete with music, sound effects and multiple characters that have to be questioned. At many points, users can decide to go down different paths and for example choose to either examine the crime scene or visit Gotham's ammunition factory.

    Altogether, users are given up to 37 decisions throughout the game, which can take anywhere from 5 to 40 minutes, depending on the decisions of the player. And of course, all of this is done as a pure audio game, thanks to the Echo's voice recognition and speech synthesis. To launch the game, users have to enable it within the "skills" section of the Alexa app, and then say: "Alexa, open the Wayne Investigation."
