Amazon has something special in store for developers who support its Alexa voice-command platform. Starting today, the company will provide tools to enable developers to create voice-based games on Alexa.

Now a wide variety of developers will be able to create “choose your own adventure” games for the platform. Amazon is starting out by highlighting a new Batman-themed choose-your-own-adventure game, The Wayne Investigation, about the killing of Bruce Wayne’s parents. The game is a collaboration between Warner Bros., DC Comics, and Amazon.
