Full motion video games are pretty unhinged to begin with, but SegaSoft's The Sacred Pools takes things to a whole new level. With a reported budget of $3 million, the creative minds behind Night Trap and Wirehead produced a sci-fi FMV game so baffling that it was unfit for retail release. This newly unearthed playable build for the Sega Saturn offers a look at what could have been the strangest game of 1997. Let's play it and see how far we can get!
