POOLS on Steam

What it is

This is a first-person exploration game focused on atmosphere and environmental storytelling. Players navigate abstract, liminal spaces using sound and environmental cues, experiencing a sense of dread and isolation.

The catch

No threat, no story and no objectives, so it becomes a boring walk.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 95% positive, but with 3,396 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
