It’s amusing in the fact that they did make it and you can interact with it. Surprise surprise, it’s not a very deep experience.
People have been describing it as “voice activated zork” but I’d say it’s better to call it “choose your own adventure” in terms of what you’re doing. It starts giving you a choice between two random locations. Then it describes someone there who has a problem and asks if you will help them and your quest begins. Quest proceeds with more “which path” choices and encounters.
Encounters you get exactly four choices: “attack with weapon,” “cast a spell,” “use a shout,” or “flee”. Alexa describes your attack and then describes their counter attack until one of you is dead. You may also get a new weapon or more spells for it to randomly pull from as your skills improve. Eventually you get to the last encounter, kill it, and Alexa describes you completing your quest and your (usually trivial/humorous) reward and the cycle repeats.
There are some amusing encounters (one in particular is unexpected and has interesting dialog from Alexa) and she does make little quips and stuff along the way. There is a bit of flavor when you kill something based on what you used that is to varying levels of humor, typically it’s also aided by the robotic pacing of her speech. Oh and also you do hear the “level up” sound each time your skills goes up and that sure made me smile the first time I heard it.
There is a small “you don’t have any health potions” comment I heard at one point but there isn’t any “eat all the cheese wheels” in the game.
