Hyper Light Drifter is a 2016 indie action role-playing game developed by Heart Machine, praised for its wordless storytelling, detailed pixel art and atmospheric electronic soundtrack. The startup chime comes from the opening moments of the game, where its quiet synth sound helps establish the lonely, futuristic world before any combat begins. Fans have since clipped the short effect for soundboards and editing libraries, where it is reused as a compact intro cue for gaming content, streams and nostalgic edits that want the game's distinctive mood without using a full music track.

The startup sound effect from Hyper Light Drifter, a short electronic chime heard when the game begins. Creators use it for intros, streams and retro edits.
This three-second clip captures the startup chime from Hyper Light Drifter, opening with a soft, shimmering synth tone that rises and resolves into a clean, slightly melancholic chord. It feels both futuristic and nostalgic, like the hum of an old console waking up in a neon-lit world, and it instantly sets a calm yet adventurous mood. Because it is short and atmospheric rather than loud or jarring, it works as a gentle cue that something is about to begin, drawing listeners into the game's mysterious, pixel-art universe without needing any dialogue or explanation.
