How to play Pulse Cage Episode 1 on Mac

Game summary

A visual novel. An anxious young girl in a small community comes to realize that she's being stalked by a mysterious admirer. On a journey to find herself (and not the person her family has molded her into), she soon finds out that a video exposing her in a new light has been sent to her friend's phone. She breaks out of her parents customs, after others begin to see her in a different way. In a desperate act, not knowing where else to look, she tries to find herself in other people as she grows closer to them. Holding tightly to the idea that she can be different, she opens herself up to the 'real world' that's been hidden from her, as she challenges herself to be ambitious and outgoing. Too much exposure makes her feel threatened and afraid, with no place to hide. Eventually, she chooses who she wants to be and only lets her body be controlled by its own pulse.

Play Pulse Cage Episode 1 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Pulse Cage Episode 1 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
