Hello, dear backer!

We are a startup called AudioCat and we are creating a mobile app for audio games that are interactive and engaging.

There are more than 3 billion people in the world who like to play different video games. Every year, the number of players in the world is increasing, because video games have become a culture of their own. Mobile games are played by more than 2 billion people worldwide because it is the most convenient way to play. Mobile games can be played anywhere, and a person does not need to buy an expensive computer or console.

But visuals play an important role in all videogames. This means we need to look the screen for an immersive and unforgettable gaming experience. But why can't we enjoy games with just our sense of hearing?

At AudioCat, we develop an interactive audio game platform where people's gaming experience can only be limited by their own imagination. Audio games focus only on sound, which is versatile and gives the player the opportunity to create visuals in their own imagination. A special feature of audio games is a very detailed explanatory description of the surrounding world, characters and activities. Players can make the most of their sense of hearing and immerse themselves in immersive adventures. Also, the interactive characteristic of videogames has not disappeared anywhere - players can make choices and the dexterity of their fingers is also put to the test. Each interaction can radically change the course of the game and lead to a completely unexpected final solution.

As an added value, our mobile app is fully accessible to blind people who can join the gaming community and feel equal to others.

AudioCat is a brand new medium for gamers who want excitement and novelty in their lives. The world already offers various audiobooks that fascinate people, but AudioCat is the only platform that offers an interactive gaming experience through versatile sounds.

The AudioCat team consists of four awesome members who are all actively working to make AudioCat a global name.

Our founder Anette has a long experience in game design and has won several special awards for leadership. Our project manager Emili has successfully managed game projects. Our CTO Henry-Gerret has previously won several awards from IT-related competitions, and our lead developer Mikk, who studies at Kood/Jõhvi, has experience from development camps.

We have several business side mentors who actively support us, as well as accessibility mentor Jakob Rosin, who ensures that our platform is accessible to blind people.

AudioCat has successfully completed the STARTER program, which was organized by the Startup Lab of the University of Tartu. We won last year's Telia Idea competition and this year's Creative Industries Pitching competition at the sTARTUp Day 2023.
