A liminal-spaces horror experience inspired by backrooms.
No monsters. No jump scares.
Just you in empty rooms.
RTs would be greatly appreciated!

Over 1000 reviews.
Wow.
Thank you to all of you for all your support.
We are truly blown away by it.
Here are a few words that we wanted to share with you all.
POOLS Soundtrack is now available to buy on Steam!
These soundscapes were created by four amazing artists: Erik Nyholm, Mikko Tarmia, Sjellos & tohmei, Jackson Derby.
Without their work, POOLS would not be the experience that it is today.
This started out as our graphics masterminds hobby / free time project, we will make it a full release it if it gains enough attraction.
Free demo available on Steam now!

The launch went so well. wow.
We want the game on consoles now 😃
Starting to investigate!
Small warning: We are doing console launch for the first time and we want to do it ourselves - so probably going to take several months, but we'll work hard on it!
@mohammadnikhal1
@Sjellos
@YouTube
Yes!
Right now planning, researching and testing PS & Xbox (last two generations) & Steam deck
We'll start researching mobile / nintendo switch after Xbox / PS
Note: these can take many months to complete and we will only release things if we are happy with it

@jaredpike
Glad to hear! no problem, let's move forward!
From brief discussion we had Valentín seems like a nice guy and perhaps we can work together to make bundles in Steam and other things - this visibility is great for both games!
Article is now updated and Dreamcore is mentioned also
@SuomiGameHub
Pools on meidän oma yritys "Backrooms" tai "Liminal Spaces" konseptista. Ei ole siis mikään perus peli, enempi vaan kävelyä ja fiilistelyä kevyellä kauhulla höystettynä. Tämä oli aluksi ihan vaan hupiprojekti.
Demo löytyy jo Steamista:

I only ask you one thing: Please don't judge the game based on screenshots and Demo. Please play the game before judging. I invite you to join our BETA in our discord . Unique aspects of POOLS will be revealed more and more after Chapter 2.

@DreamcoreGame
made the Poolrooms game before us. We do not want to clone them.
I have contacted press to add more info.
I can understand why you feel this way. I invite you to join our discord and try our Beta After Chapter 2 things will get interesting.
@Fichinescu
@pcgamer
@DreamcoreGame
I understand where you are coming from.
I agree POOLS is not the first "Poolrooms" game.
The concept is not original.
I'm not sure but I think
@jaredpike
was one of the first artists of this type of content.
Check this video from Matt Studios from 2022
@TheSugarAndSass
we would love to do it. it's going to take time though, first we'll do VR and latest generation PS and Xbox consoles. Switch requires a lot of work, need to optimize and redo a lot of graphics. Difficult but not impossible. Switch 2 also on the horizon 👀

Games are really different. You'll see!
@IGN
Thanks for sharing our game IGN. It's an honour.
And we hope no one will hate us for it, but if you do like the look of our game, add it to your Wishlist. It'll mean the world to a small studio like us.
@reduzio
@SebAaltonen
it is the golden middle way. I keep coming back to it. It's tempting to think about any concept religiously when large project would sometimes benefit from multiple different approaches and modularity - but not too much 😃
@kino_mokume
Yes, you have our permission to produce content such as gameplay videos, reviews or gameplay livestream from POOLS. Also feel free to monetize such content.

@Angelissa_x
oh shoot, forgot about NextFest... 😅
Anyway:
Main thing about POOLS is to look around and listen to the sounds. It's not about winning or losing. You could say it's like an art gallery where you walk around and feel the atmosphere.
@justin02350
Sorry for the late reply, we will investigate doing Xbox and PS version soon after launch. If the launch is successful we want to get the game on consoles. 🙏
