Inquisitor's Heartbeat EP

Inquisitor's Heartbeat is a roguelike designed for blind and sighted people alike, namely a videogame (an audiogame, actually) in which your goal is to find a safe route out of dungeons by relying on your hearing and orientation skills only.

You will find yourself in the middle of the 14th century, impersonating a man who has been found guilty of heresy by the holy Inquisition. Imprisoned in a small cell, you'll have to wield your bravery and tenacity to escape from certain doom and retrieve the forbidden tome that was taken from you.

You'll have to listen closely to the surrounding sounds in order to understand the situation you are in. There could be prisoners that want to be set free, sentinels waiting for you right behind the corner, mortal traps or even worse...

Instruction

Inquisitor's Heartbeat is playable on every platform, mainly using directional arrows (or swipe on smartphone), always one step at time, toward the desired direction. You interact with the surroundings pressing space bar (or tap on smartphone) like open doors, pull trigger, picking stuff... Your main tools are your hearing and your memory in order to memorize the map of the dark scenarios you will face.

You will always move a constant distance in the desired direction, just like on a chessboard.
It is essential to count your steps, perceive the different sounds of the ground and pay attention to sound changes. And if you bump into a wall... you are probably going the wrong way!
