Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs series is finally branching out to mobile devices—sort of. Instead of a traditional mobile game, Audible presents Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure. Players shape the narrative by making crucial decisions that guide DedSec's actions.
This choose-your-own-adventure style, a format dating back to the 1930s, places players in a near-future London where DedSec faces a new threat. The AI, Bagley, assists players in their decision-making process after each episode.
The Watch Dogs franchise, surprisingly similar in age to Clash of Clans, makes its mobile debut with this unconventional release. While the concept of audio adventures isn't new, its application to a major franchise like Watch Dogs is intriguing. The somewhat limited marketing surrounding Watch Dogs: Truth is noteworthy, as is the series' unique, somewhat scattered approach to expansion. The success of this audio adventure will undoubtedly be closely monitored.
