About Impulse Response
Impulse Response is a first-person, audio-only adventure with no visuals, designed to be fully accessible to blind and low-vision players. You wake alone in darkness aboard a ship and use echolocation and your wits to solve puzzles and uncover what happened to your crew.
Navigate by sound
Send out audio pulses and listen closely to the ship’s sounds to map your surroundings and move through its eerie corridors. Headphones are required to fully experience the spatial audio.
Repair the ship
As the ship’s engineer, you investigate and fix failing systems to work out what went wrong while you slept. The game takes 1–2 hours to play and features voice acting by Jennissary and Brogan Farr, with music and sound effects by Manadrop.
