Short description
Explore the Poolrooms as if it were lost media from 1998.
About this game
Poolscape focuses on immersing players in the nostalgia of classic PSX gameplay through authentic ’90s-styled visuals and quirks rather than aiming for ultra-realism like most liminal space games on the market. Explore many unique Poolrooms levels, each offering its own atmospheric sound design and liminal experience, blending isolated, euphoric exploration with subtle horror elements that are heightened by the technical limitations of PS1-era hardware. This game is intentionally slower-paced . You are not meant to rush through. Take your time with each environment to enjoy the sounds and ambience! Poolscape includes EIGHT distinct levels. Some environments are unique to this game, and others will be familiar to anyone familiar with Poolrooms or Backrooms lore. Level 1 : Classic Poolrooms - Endlessly repeating tiles and fake skylights form the comforting yet uncanny liminal space you’d expect from a classic Poolrooms environment. This is a straightforward level that is designed to introduce players to this retro-styled Poolrooms experience! Level 2 : The Aquatic Megastructure - In this level, you’ll find yourself in a huge, brutalist facility that is impossibly vast. The large industrial walls are meant to evoke a feeling of megalophobia, as this is the largest and most expansive environment in all of Poolscape . Level 3 : Dreampools - The most euphoric environment in Poolscape . Bright colored pools, matte-colored tiles, and low-poly palm trees give players the feeling of wandering through a dream. Surely nothing is watching you… right? Level 4 : Dark Poolrooms - Drenched in almost total darkness, the Dark Poolrooms plunge players into the most tense and unnerving level seen in Poolscape . Claustrophobic hallways and thick black fog keep the anxiety constant. Level 5 : Nostalgia Springs - Inspired by the Neon Springs from the "Lost in the Hyperverse" YouTube series, this level features vaporwave, mall-like architecture drenched in neon lighting and 90s-themed aesthetics. Level 6 : Oceanscape - Heavily inspired by the ocean environment in "The Backrooms: Lost Tape," this level drops players into a calm, breezy ocean that includes strange sculptures…
