Poolscape

Nostalgic Liminal Spaces in Poolscape

Poolscape transports players back to the charm of classic PSX-era gaming, focusing on retro visuals and style rather than today’s hyper-realism. Designed for PC, this exploration-based walking simulator invites players to traverse unique levels steeped in the essence of "Poolrooms" and "Backrooms" lore. With its ’90s-inspired aesthetics, Poolscape positions itself as a tribute to an era long past while incorporating subtle horror elements that remember the limitations of retro hardware.

Dive into Atmospheric Levels of Exploration

At launch, Poolscape features six meticulously designed levels, with plans for additional content in future updates. Each environment conveys a distinct atmosphere, creating a mesmerizing blend of exploration and tension. For instance, the Classic Poolrooms serve as an introduction to the game, showcasing endlessly repeating tiles and artificial skylights to evoke that unmistakable liminal space vibe. As players navigate these hallways, they will start to feel the comfort and disquiet of classic gaming.
