Unnerving Cult Horror Hit POOLS Dives into PS5, PSVR2 in 2025

As a seasoned explorer of the digital realm, having traversed countless worlds both vibrant and eerie, I must admit that POOLS has piqued my curiosity. With a background filled with haunting, atmospheric games, this first-person exploration title seems to be right up my alley.

Another cult hit PC title is making the jump to PS5 with POOLS, a strange, first-person exploration game.

Released ahead in the year 2024, this game immerses you in eerie environments filled with empty swimming pools and an unsettling quietness, devoid of any additional elements.

Despite having limited interactivity, this game has received a highly favorable ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam due to its eerie ambiance and labyrinthine, twisted tiled passageways that leave players feeling uneasy.

According to its description on Steam, the game revolves around apprehensions such as becoming lost, the unknown in the dark, deep waters, and confined areas. Contrary to popular belief that it’s a traditional horror experience, there are no monsters pursuing you and no sudden shocking events to fear.

As I venture through these levels, there’s not much in the way of clear goals other than to explore and, at some point, locate the exit. It’s more about immersing myself in the peculiar structures that populate each pool, taking it all in, and making it feel like home for a while.

If you’ve come across liminal space images featuring dimly lit or deserted swimming pools, imagine a similar atmosphere translated into a video game setting.

You can play the PS5 version on your television, or if you have PSVR2, it offers complete compatibility, giving you a chance to delve even further into the game’s eerily realistic environment through virtual reality.

2025 is when we can expect its launch, and you can add it to your wishlist on the PlayStation Store right now. Are you planning to dive into POOLS once it comes out next year? Put on your virtual goggles by commenting below!
