Exploring Liminal Spaces: A Journey Through “Pools”

As I stepped into the virtual world of “Pools,” I found myself immersed in a surreal experience. Played from a first-person perspective, the game defies conventions. There are no enemies to battle, no complex puzzles to solve—just me, the environment, and my navigation skills.

Each of the six chapters presents a new environment, devoid of life yet teeming with mystery. The objective? Find the exit. As I wandered through dimly lit corridors, I encountered sublimely modeled objects and eerie works of art. The absence of background music heightened the tension; only the sounds of my footsteps echoed.

In one chapter, I stumbled into an endless loop, panic creeping in. In another, stairwells defied gravity, reminiscent of an Escher painting. “Pools” is unpredictable, ingenious, and cerebral. Whether you find liminal spaces appealing or unsettling, this hidden gem is worth exploring
