How do all of you feel about Inner Monologue for an audio adventure? I know I could use special effects to get it done but I wonder if it's worth it. I wonder if it won't be to confusing...
There are examples, and even genres, where this works well - it's all in how you handle it. Are you thinking the voiceover-style of old school film noir? The occasional "thought bubble"?
More details?

not a huge fan but works for me if it's noir or if you have someone writing in a journal- but that's a personal taste of mine.

As with all these type questions, the story drives the answer. Leave everything on the table, voice over, internal dialog, whatever. Some stories need a stronger narrative element, some need the 'fly on the wall' POV of actors in dialog. Don't start putting arbitrary rules in place until you've tried the element and heard the results.
As a rule, it tends to be a turn-off for me because sadly it's very rarely done well, and all too often as a shortcut for poor or lazy writing telling what could have been told without such blatant exposition.
