Pulse is a first-person adventure game developed by Pixel Pi Games, released in 2015 for PC, Mac, and Linux. Players take on the role of Eva, a young girl who lost her sight early in life and learned to perceive her surroundings through sound. This echolocation-like ability forms the core of the experience, revealing an otherwise invisible world through audio cues. Guided by forest spirits, Eva ventures along ancestral paths that have long been forbidden, piecing together hidden truths about her world. The setting is one of environmental instability — earthquakes are fracturing the land — and uncovering the cause of this unrest drives the narrative forward. The game's central mechanic, navigating and interpreting the environment entirely through sound, shapes both its moment-to-moment gameplay and its broader atmosphere of mystery and fragility.
