Welcome to the year 2095! Let me get you up to speed. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is: Some things never change. People still flock to the bustling metropolises for the chance to make something of themselves, Neo-Chicago deep-dish is still the most delicious meal known to man. And betting on the Bulls is still the best short-term investment known to man. Some things have changed though. The cars hover. The guns are laser pistols. AI can finally draw fingers. And when I said that people make something of themselves, they’re mostly making themselves into cybernetically enhanced criminals. Or selling their souls to the giant corporations that run pretty much everything now. We’ll call those guys corpos. And I know that’s not worse than criminal but … it kind of feels worse. It’s not all bad though. The hottest new tech on the streets is called “Daylight”. You know solar panels? It’s like that. Except like a million times stronger. And people have been building some pretty amazing things with it. Mecha robots. Supercomputers. Crazy new cybernetic augments. But you’ve gotta make hay while the sun shines because when night falls, all that stuff goes offline and we’re living in 2092 again. One thing’s for sure. There’s no shortage of adventure for corpos *or* criminals... Or hackers, vidjocks, ripperdocs, triggerheads, brutes or storytellers. It’s time for you to go find your own adventures and make your own stories. Who are you going to be?

Every story is yours alone. P.U.L.S.E. — Prophecy Unveiling Lost Spectral Entropy — is an AI-driven narrative RPG set across the shadowed cities of the 1920s. No two playthroughs are alike. Every passage of text, every atmospheric illustration, and every word of voice narration is generated in real-time, crafting a cosmic horror tale that exists only for you. SPIN THE REELS OF FATE Your destiny begins with three spinning reels — a slot machine selects your Location, Profession, and the Eldritch Entity that stalks you. A jazz musician in Prague hunted by something that lives in mirrors. A war photographer in Shanghai pursued by a god that devours memory. The combinations are endless. A LIVING STORY An AI Game Master weaves your narrative through an 8-stage Story Circle. Make choices. Type your own actions. Investigate, flee, fight, bargain with things that should not exist. The story responds to everything you do — there are no pre-written paths. FULL VOICE NARRATION Every word is spoken aloud by an on-device narrator whose voice shifts with the mood — measured calm in quiet moments, rising panic as the entity draws near. No internet required for voice. ATMOSPHERIC ART Each scene generates a unique ink-wash illustration in the style of 1920s noir photography. Watch the world materialise as you read. THE ENTITY HUNTS YOU As turns pass, the eldritch presence grows stronger. Subtle wrongness becomes undeniable horror. Your Vigor and Sanity erode. Will you uncover the truth and survive — or join the ranks of the Silent Extinction? SILENT EXTINCTION Death is not a game-over screen. It is a period newspaper obituary. A commitment notice to an asylum. A name forgotten by everyone who knew it. FEATURES • Fully AI-generated narrative — every playthrough is unique • On-device voice narration with emotion-driven pacing • AI-generated atmospheric illustrations every scene • 8-stage Story Circle with discovery-driven progression • Free-text input — type any action you can imagine • Dual health system: Vigor (body) and Sanity (mind) • Shareable story card at game end with AI-written summary • 1920s Art Deco interface design • No ads. No subscriptions. One purchase, endless stories. INSPIRED BY Call of Cthulhu, Arkham Horror, Disco Elysium, 80 Days, and the weird fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert W. Chambers. Face the unknown. Spin the reels. Begin.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DATA at Free against P.U.L.S.E.'s $0.99. DATA also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). P.U.L.S.E.'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
