Better get ready, because POOLS, alongside its Soundtrack, is now available on GOG!

One could say POOLS is like an art gallery where you look around and listen to the sounds. There are very few things to solve, practically a few mazes. Sometimes the game can challenge your navigation skills. But mostly you're just... there.

There are no monsters chasing you or jumping suddenly towards you, but the game can feel oppressive. POOLS plays on fears of getting lost, the dark, and tight spaces.

And if you’re still unsure – try out the DEMO!

Now on GOG!

Thank you, I've been looking forward to this one.

Also thank you for releasing the full package: soundtrack, achievements and a demo. That's how I like my GOG releases. Into the cart it goes!

Intriguing release, it has certainly piqued my interest. I’ll add it to the wishlist for now, not sure if it’s worth full price but will definitely have to check it out.

Does it have VR support?

Looks very immersive, and slow and relaxing.
I'll give the demo a go and see how it feels :)

And this is supposed to be a horror game?
Going to be honest, you remove the tint filter and it'd possibly be a good lark of things.

This game! I think I've read somewhere about it...

Ah yes, there:

This title looks as about as relaxing as finding oneself in an underwater cavern labyrinth when the all lights go out, all bearings are lost, and the oxygen levels are beginning to deplete. I don't think this one is for me...

Gaming has become much more diverse and interesting. The fact that there are games which are not for you (this one is not for me either) does not mean the medium is in decline. Rather the contrary.

What a great surprise, this game on GOG O_o.

Wow, I always wanted to pay money to get lost in a pointless, dull, featureless void.

POOLS is inspired by a internet phenomenons "Liminal spaces", "Found footage" and "Backrooms" - specifically "Backrooms Pools" or "Poolrooms".
I guess that explains why I'm so utterly confused by this "game".
