The developer page describes the game as fully playable without sight: all gameplay information is conveyed through pitch and rhythm.
The hidden critter is on one of eleven positions; the ticking beep becomes faster and higher when the listening cursor is closer to the target.
Controls are keyboard-based: Left/Right Arrow moves the cursor, Space tries to catch, Enter restarts, H or question mark repeats instructions, and R repeats the last message.
The developer states that the game has self-voicing narration and ARIA live-region support for screen-reader users.
The game does not require stereo panning, so it should be less dependent on headphones than many directional audio games.

I found no independent blind-player test or community report yet; the verdict is based on the developer page, jam context, and inspection of the public Godot web package.
The game runs as Godot/HTML5 inside an itch.io canvas and requires WebGL2. Browsers or screen-reader setups that cannot use WebGL2 or give the frame keyboard focus may block play completely.
On itch.io, the game frame must have keyboard focus before the Arrow keys, Space, and Enter respond.
ARIA live-region and self-voicing support are stated by the developer, but I did not find a separate screen-reader test confirming every message.
Norwegian language support is not confirmed.
