Starfinder – which also exists at a tabletop game – is quite a bit more elaborate than other choose-your-own adventure stories available on Alexa: the script by James L. Sutter runs to 745 pages and the voice acting – which includes performances by Nathan Fillion (best known for Firefly and Castle) and Laura Bailey (who worked on The Last of Us Part II) – took 125 hours of studio recording.
Many Skills are free to use, but being a premium production, Starfinder episodes are not. You can play the pilot for free, but episodes cost £1.99 / $1.99 each or you can buy the full season for £9.99 / $9.99. To open the skill just say “Alexa, open Starfinder”.
