I am not giving you my email

You don't have to "give" your main email address, if that makes you uncomfortable for some reason; simply create a new one, after all it's completely free.

Yeah, nobody wants to go through that. Let us use for free and see if it's worth it.

You need to login to have a look... However: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0wJ1THEjNg

none of that looks like it is a real interactive thing. It looks like it is a sora video.

It seems to be a new take on text based adventure games. You tell what to do, then the game computes the results and shows them as short video clip. Then you make your next moves and so on.

I care about my time more than my email.

You can create a throwaway Gmail account ONCE and use it for all demos for the rest of your life. It’ll take most 3 minutes to do that.

very throw-away then

Have no fear, I logged in and tested this ... almost. Logged in with f'g G, picked an "experience," waited 30 sec to load(!) then picked 8 sec run from 4 / 8 / 12 sec... "Not enought credits." Hmm. Somehow I thought it was a demo but I guess, yeah. TL/DR: Nowhere close to ready for prime time.

So it sounds like this isn’t interactive. Just a wrapper around generating Sora videos with memory? Cool to see it as a real product, but not what folks consider “interactive” generally.

tbh, i would rather play zork than zork-ai. my imagination is worth something to me.
