POOLS VR is all about that quiet, liminal unease. No monsters and no jumpscares (hopefully), just endless spaces that feel calm on the surface and strangely oppressive underneath.
The deeper you explore, the more the world shifts in ways that are subtle, unsettling and impossible to ignore. I’ve explored a poolroom-style VR experience recently, but this is the real deal that leans fully into atmosphere and patience over gimmicks.
Curious to see how far the mood carries the experience on PSVR2.
Thank you Tensori for providing the PS VR2 game key!
// POOLS VR OVERVIEW
“Explore, admire and listen. That’s it.
Uncanny. Relaxing. Unnerving. Eerie. Immersive.
POOLS isn’t a traditional game. it’s slow, reflective, and intentionally uneventful, perhaps a bit like virtual museum.
So take your time. Breathe. POOLS unfolds slowly, rewarding patience and quiet attention.
No monsters chasing you or jumping at your screen. Yet it can feel oppressive at times by invoking quiet fears of getting lost, the dark, tight spaces and the strange beauty of liminal space architecture.
There's no typical story. But as you explore and advance further, you start to notice that the game's world changes around you, deeper you go… Rooms look and feel… different.
Base game features six chapters, each lasting 10-30 minutes. Free Demo version is available and contains the first chapter.
Inspired by the internet phenomena Liminal spaces, Found footage and The Backrooms, especially the Poolrooms concept. One of the original artists behind the Poolrooms concept is Jared Pike.” [via PlayStation Store]
