The watery mazes of POOLS can be equally alluring and unsettling
For a lot of people, indie game POOLS will lean into horror territory. While the walking simulator doesn’t have any monsters chasing you down, the liminal design of its environment is very capable of unsettling the player. Long, interconnected rooms of tiling and oddly-shaped bodies of water sloshing back and forth lead you to believe that something just isn’t right within the world of POOLS. And yet, for me, it evokes a surprising nostalgia for the many hours of my life spent around pools.
Each has its own curves and hard angles, as well as its own utilization of the central water features. Some rooms have gorgeous pools that feel inspired by bathhouses, a few have colorful waterslides, and others are entirely flooded. Many feel utilitarian in design, simple railings and ladders surrounding rectangular receptacles of water. When traveling for competition, every pool was a new place to discover.
