Browsers can't autoplay video and audio without the user's permission, and that permission is given via input events, mainly the click event. When you press the 'continue' button, you send a click event to the browser, which grants the script permission to play audio.
There is likely an event listener on the 'continue' button that when pressed simply runs the audio script, which is allowed under autoplay rules (user interacted with the page). Not sure if that's actually the case since I'm currently on a phone and my internet connection is pure dogwater so I can't even get past the continue button.

I have to say this is one of the coolest sites I've visited
I haven't seen anything that stylized in quite a while. Really need a desktop cat again.
Also very interesting read
Wait waaaaat? Doesn't everyone have a desktop cat. What a sad bunch of losers without the company of even a digital cat.
oneko wtf!
Vintage PC animations? Ok, I'm curious.
Auto-playing music? Fuck that, I'm out. I'll stick to the OP link.
Wow very cool website indeed!
Horrible message
How are they able to auto-play audio even when my browser is set to block that?
