Functionality is disclosed herein for using an interactive content service to provide content. A user may interact with the interactive content service to access interactive content, such as interactive fiction, interactive text adventure games, and other interactive content. A user may also use the interactive content to receive auditory output from applications configured to provide text-based content. The interactive content service maintains state information that identifies the current state of the interactive content. For example, before starting a particular interactive adventure game, the state identifies a beginning location within the interactive content. As the user interacts with the game, the interactive content service updates the state of the user within the game. In this way, when the user resumes playing the game, regardless of the computing device used to interact with the interactive content service, the interactive content service causes the correct portion of the interactive content to be presented.
