Description of App

With Earplay, you can enjoy audio stories you play with your voice, featuring voice acting and sound effects like in a radio drama. Experience this exciting new storytelling medium where you become part of the story, interacting with characters to affect how the events unfold.

INTRODUCING EARPLAY PREVIEWS AND NEWS!
New in this version of Earplay are previews of upcoming stories! You can listen and try out a choice or two from long form Earplays that will be released very soon. In the news section, we plan to give you access to the people and processes behind Earplay. Soon we'll be streaming regular microcasts and inviting you to Earplay interactive audio committee meetings!

PUGMIRE (Preview)
In Eddy Webb's family-friendly fantasy adventure, dogs have inherited the world untold centuries after the Ages of Man. Some have learned to use the leftover technology, but they believe it to be magic handed to them by their lost gods. Others seek to create an ideal civilization, using a Code of Man compiled from ancient, fragmentary lore. The world is dangerous and mysterious, but good dogs will persevere.

CODENAME CYGNUS (Preview)
This is the Prologue chapter of the first ever voice-operated interactive audio story, a spy thriller where you play the secret agent. Originally launched in August 2013, eight chapters of the story have been released so far on mobile devices. Stay tuned, because we're planning to bring a new and improved version soon.

I think Ear Play is a great app. I like most of the games especially The Orpheus Device! I'm looking forward to continuing each story!

I really enjoyed the possibilities here. Interactive audio drama is a fantastic idea and I would love to see more of it. Heathcoat is my first and by far best exposure to audio drama thus far. I'm not a fan of the silent protagonist type stories, so that one was perfect. The Orphius Project though seemed like an interesting concept, and I look forward to seeing what that may turn out to be, despite said silent protagonist role.

No worries I shouldn't have capitalized the P in Play then you would have found it. Sorry about that I fixed that.

I logged in to EarPlay, and it won't let me go past 1 volume. What do I do?

Hi, has anyone got a response and is there an update for this iphone game? I would like to have more stories on the game but there only coming out on google things.

It's working great now, although tapping game answers and in game controls became inaccessible. You can only play by using your voice.
