Liminal space game with focus on eerie exploration and immersion instead of typical horror. Navigate through endless alike rooms. Explore, orient, get out.
Playing in VR while stoned is the definitive way to experience POOLS.
I love this game and it's my favourite liminal space/backrooms game to date.
The rooms are beautiful and the game gives you time to enjoy exploring without feeling like you have to rush due to a monster chasing you.
There's also plenty of settings to play around with the graphics which was nice.
The horror is very understated all-throughout the game....
It is a little more spooky than advertised, but a very fun game and has some really relaxing parts. Excellent for slow exploration, but be careful playing it in the dark alone. Some of the images and scenes can be a little disorienting and existential. But unique and original!
Imagine a Daggerfall dungeon with no enemies and everything is a swimming pool. Wide variety of indoor pool aesthetics.
This game brings me a strange sense of comfort. I don't really know how to explain it, but it evokes a deep childhood nostalgia of going to the pool, whether at water parks on vacation or just the local swimming pool. These are places that strangely soothe me. Yet, at the same time, there is this lingering sense of unease, just like in everything related...
