Codename Cygnus is an interactive radio drama starring voice talent from Bastion and Red Dead Redemption

You may like your fictional worlds illustrated in a colourful fashion, but how about if they were described to you by some of the voices from Bastion and Red Dead Redemption?

Codename Cygnus is an interactive Kickstarter radio drama that's contained entirely inside your iOS device. You play a secret agent in an episodic story that will be updated on a weekly basis.

Using either your voice or by tapping on the screen, you make decisions that have an impact on the game's world. A narrator then describes the resultant events to you.

The voice talent on 'show' in Reactive Studios's Codename Cygnus include Logan Cunningham (who voiced the Narrator in Bastion) and Sarah Elmaleh (whose voice acting credits include Gone Home and Skulls of the Shogun).

More recently, it was announced that Rob Wiethoff, who voiced John Marston in Red Dead Redemption, has joined the Codename Cygnus cast.

There are only a few hours left in the Kickstarter campaign for Codename Cygnus, though Reactive Studios has already reached its funding goal for the game.

If you want to grab a copy of the game or any of the limited edition extras, you have until August 11th to do so.

One last thing... Reactive Studios is considering an Android port of Codename Cygnus.

"Yes, we do hope to get out to other platforms and we'd like to port to Android (and possibly Google Glass) once we're up and stable," the studio states on the Codename Cygnus Kickstarter page.
