The game is built around stereo/directional audio and the developer page says it can be played without looking at the screen.
Menus and gameplay use the keyboard: Arrow keys for difficulty, sound choice, and answers, and Space to start.
Easy mode uses left/right sound direction. Hard mode adds a centre sound with Up Arrow.
The game has ten levels, score, and best score; the web page explains the controls before starting.
Headphones are recommended, but stereo speakers should also work.

The developer says screen-reader support is not currently available. I also found no independent screen-reader test.
On itch.io, you must left-click inside the game window for fullscreen/keyboard focus before the Arrow keys respond.
The menus inside the HTML5 game are not confirmed as screen-reader-readable; use the controls listed on the itch.io page.
Directional audio is the core mechanic. Mono audio, poor stereo separation, or difficult listening conditions will make the game much less accessible.
Norwegian language support is not confirmed.
