The term "liminal spaces" refers to locations that are eerily empty, even though they should be bustling with life, which can evoke feelings of unease or even fear. These spaces are often the setting for various creepypastas (thrilling stories circulated on the Internet), which also inspire video games. Among them, we can find the so-called Backrooms or Pools. The latter is the focus of the game titled Pools, developed by the independent studio Tensori.

Gameplay

In Pools, events are viewed from a first-person perspective (FPP).

It is a classic walking simulator, meaning that the gameplay primarily involves calmly exploring locations. The adventure takes us through various pools, where not a single soul can be found. The silence is intensified by the absence of music, so during exploration, we only hear our own footsteps and the sounds of water.
