Poolscape (Demo)

Poolscape is a retro reimagining of the Poolrooms, evoking the nostalgia of classic PSX games by immersing players in the iconic liminal space with authentic ’90s-styled visuals and atmosphere.

DEMO LEVELS

• Level 1: Classic Poolrooms - A linear, by-the-books Poolrooms experience. White tiles, soft marble, 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 the retro-styled atmosphere of this crazy world.

• Level 2: The 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. You will only get a small glimpse of this level with the demo!

GAMEPLAY

• Poolscape is an exploration-based walking simulator that is meant to let players relax, listen to some aquatic music, and wander this retro rendition of the Poolrooms. However, each level will have unique ambience and set pieces to spice up the gameplay and keep you invested.
• Poolscape also features a Weirdcore-inspired entity. This entity will not harm the player, but it will keep a close eye on the player throughout each level.
• There are secret items and secret areas that can be discovered in each level. Careful exploration will be rewarded!
• Players will find interactable notes within each level that will give Poolscape its own lore.
