Description
One could say <strong>POOLS</strong> is like an art gallery where you look around and listen to the sounds. Very few things to accomplish or solve, practically a few mazes. Sometimes <strong>POOLS</strong> can challenge your navigation skills. But mostly you're just... there.<br><br>Note: There are no monsters chasing you or jumping suddenly towards you, but the game can feel oppressive. <strong>POOLS</strong> plays on fears of getting lost, the dark, and tight spaces.<br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2663530/extras/367f341432586f747e2bd09366bf6e29.avif?t=1761804940" width=616 height=274 /></span><br><br>The game has no user-interface and no dialogue.
