The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A frenetic dance of wall-runs, grapple swings, and mid-air kills where movement itself feels like a weapon.

What players say

Players compare EMPULSE's movement to Titanfall and Splitgate, calling it fluid and addictive. Many say the foundation is solid and the game is fun, but split criticism targets a perceived controller aim assist advantage and a lack of maps and modes in early access.
