About

Hearing, released in 2017, is a unique walking simulator that immerses players in an open world where the primary sense employed is hearing. This indie title invites players to explore and navigate environments without relying on visual cues, making it notable for its innovative approach to gameplay. The experience is characterized by its calm pacing and environmental storytelling, creating a meditative atmosphere that stands apart from more action-oriented titles.

In terms of PC performance, Hearing is quite accessible, catering to a broad range of hardware. With a minimum GPU requirement of an entry-level unit (around a score of 141) and a CPU score of approximately 154, most modern systems can run the game effectively. Players can expect decent FPS even on lower graphics settings, ensuring that the game remains playable without demanding high-end GPUs or excessive RAM; just 2 GB is necessary to experience its auditory journey.

Whether you should play Hearing depends on your taste for the genre and willingness to embrace its unique mechanics. With a rating of 50/100, it may not be for everyone, but fans of casual gaming and immersive audio experiences could find it intriguing. If you enjoy exploring unconventional narratives and the soothing soundscape of a well-crafted environment, this game could be a fascinating addition to your collection.

Performance profile

August 2017 release. Hearing was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Indie and casual titles are typically light on hardware. Hearing runs well on almost any modern GPU, including integrated graphics on recent laptops — you won't need a dedicated card for a smooth experience.

Extremely light — Hearing runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
