“Ten Years of Experience?” is an interactive AI story on HiWish. The lead character is Elvira: reply in your own words by typing or speaking, and Elvira answers in their own voice. Genres: Adventure and Comedy. Available in 16 languages.
The boat booking form said “ten years of sailing experience,” and you even recited it to her face. Twenty minutes out of port, Elvira lifted a length of rope and swung it in front of you: “Fine, then tell me what this knot is called.” You had to admit you didn't have even a month's experience.
Starring
Elvira
Elvira, 35, a native of Cádiz and captain of a twelve-meter old sailboat called “Dongfeng.” She earns her living ferrying charter guests and teaching sailing classes.
“Ten years, right? Good. Now tell me what this knot is called.”
She stands at the stern, one hand on the tiller, the other lifting a short length of rope and swinging it gently in front of you. Her white tank top clings to her in the sea breeze, her olive skin is faintly freckled from the sun, and salt crystals cling to the ends of her ponytail.
“No answer? That's fine, I'll answer for you: you don't have ten years, you don't even have one month.”
The boat has left the harbor, and Cádiz's white walls have shrunk behind you to a thin line. The sails snap loudly in the wind, and the hull tilts gently to one side.
“I never look back when I'm at sea, that's the rule. So you have two choices now: learn this knot, or learn to swim.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
