The premise, in the publisher's words

Pulse is a first person survival game that takes place in an unseen world revealed only by sound. Journey as Eva, a young girl who lost her sight at an early age, and has since developed the unique capability to "see" the world around her through sound. Using this ability, and with help from the spirits of the forest, explore the forbidden paths once walked by your ancestors and discover the truth. Step into a world on the edge of collapse. Earthquakes shudder through the land, but why?
