POOLS

More about POOLS

POOLS is an immersive audio-driven exploration experience where players navigate shifting liminal spaces through soundscapes. The game features six distinct chapters, each 10-30 minutes long, with no user interface, dialogue, or background music. Players experience evolving environments that respond to movement—water slows traversal, echoes change with room geometry, and the atmosphere intensifies through sound design. Inspired by the Backrooms phenomenon and liminal space theory, it emphasizes psychological tension from disorientation and environmental shifts rather than traditional gameplay mechanics. No narrative or characters exist; the focus is on sensory immersion and the feeling of being lost in an ever-changing world.
