I wonder if all the protagonist can smell is just gallons and gallons of chlorine from all the pools. No wonder they are tripping out. Lack of oxygen.

[@z-beeblebrox]

I wonder what scale of chlorinated pool you need before the air reaches war crime level

[@BlitzMachina]

yeah, i was about to say... i can smell this video

[@toahero5925]

​@z-beeblebrox On its own, chlorinated water is oderless. That smell's the byproduct from it reacting to contaminants. The pool's empty, so it might not smell that much.

[@R.J.MacReady1982]

Turns out we were just the chlorine we met along the way.

[@dvyd98]

salt can also be used instead in pools

[@jasperfr]

I genuinely can't get enough of poolroom exploration games. The way people manage to create such a rich and vibrant atmosphere using nothing but bathroom tiles and water is astounding. No cheap scares, no "scary horror mascot", just you exploring what appears to be an infinite labyrinth. I love this so much.

[@lazylaserwhittling]

on the flip side, its also uncannily mentally unnerving to the point of stress triggering after several hours of watching with no conclusive escape to something conclusive

You don't always need horror or monsters to chase you for a game to be creepy or scary. Just being alone in this never ending labyrinth with that atmosphere is enough..

There are a few Poolrooms/Dream Pools inspired games now, but for me this one is easily in the top three (with DREAMCORE and Anemoiapolis). I really love the level design and it's packed full of interesting sights so it never feels repetitive. Stage three is particularly impressive, it's got some weird stuff going on! This video features four of the six planned stages for the full release (I'll cover the final two when the game releases). There are no big scares or monster chases, but there are a few uncanny occourances to creep you out.

[@PaulC-Drums]

I could seriously play a ton of these games in a row and still find them interesting. I love simply roaming inside a liminal space. The game just has to look good and sound good. Love the atmosphere so much. Somewhat unnerving, but mostly just relaxing to me.

[@antrim5]

The rubber ducks mouth been open inspires inexplicable dread in me. Would be a perfectly cute design if its mouth was closed. So Kudos to the developers.

[@matthewwhiteside4619]

With the haziness and how reflective the walls are in the first few rooms, I feel like the humidity is crazy high, like in a sauna, it actually made me feel kind of stuffy and uncomfortable. Impressive atmosphere/realism.

[@RMJ1984]

Developers talk about how important sound is and the visuel aspects. I would love for us to hear water drip and see the floor get wet, when you we have been in the pool and start walking around. It's small things like that that increases immersion. Not to mention being able to see your own legs at least.

[@tensori-ltd]

On it!

[@tensori-ltd]

To clarify legs will be done later on, won't be done on release. it's on my notes, but it's a bit difficult to do / time consuming. Flat ground is easy but ladders and stairs are challenging. The water sounds and wet floor on the other hand we are doing at the moment. these will be in the release

[@UnofficialAstronaut-ul7zh]

⁠@@tensori-ltdI’m late for the train but, whatever, just wanted to share some perspective if you don’t mind. While it is true that things like floor getting wet might increase immersion, for me personally, I’d loose some of the “liminal space” vibe from that. As the place feels untouched and unbothered by the human presence, and the fact that we can not affect it as it lives by its own rules kind of creeps me out. Anyway, wish you good luck, the game is great.

[@tensori-ltd]

​@@UnofficialAstronaut-ul7zh thanks for your perspective! In our opinion liminal spaces can be touched. I think this is quite common perception as in many Backrooms videos / games there are notes on the walls, blood etc. We don't have those things - very limited symbols on the walls - but still in our perspective liminal spaces is more about the weird architecture / how I got here? type of thing - and actually physically being there. Player can move water, etc. I think it comes down if you think about backrooms/liminal spaces as "noclipped out of reality" vs "dream". We think more in terms of actually being there

[@Pelladhros]

I think being barefoot would've sounded a lot better and more immersive, and player shivering/dripping when they first get out of water

[@edwardchen9619]

i love the little nod to Funny Games, where you jumped and the game was like "nope, you're not allowed to do that, try again"

[@farcesable]

Even if the sounds of the player walking in shallow water are like he’s goosestepping, there’s a real weight to the movement and sounds when you’re wading and swimming. It’s eerily dreamlike.

[@thatanimegirlwiththecape4807]

The sound of the footsteps is bugging me. It should be like "splish splash splosh" because of the water in their shoes. And it doesn't sound like they're barefoot either. I can't stop thinking about that. Cool game tho.

[@tensori-ltd]

Great idea. wet shoes, that's it!

[@SteamWolf320]

That’s EXACTLY what the game needs! I actually commented about how it sounds like you’re wearing dry shoes just a second ago. It’s should’ve held my tongue lol.

[@tensori-ltd]

@@SteamWolf320 no worries, it's cool, the more people comment about certain things the more we know it's important. 😃 Indeed, I'm currently adding wet shoe sounds after water. In addition, water dripping sounds from clothes and small puddles will be left on the ground after exiting a pool. BR. Antti

[@FuelAirSparkTime]

[@spider_plantt]

the attention to detail in this game is unreal, i've watched pretty much every dreampools-esque game out there (because i find the setting intensely soothing and satisfying in a very specific way) and this is one of my favorites simply due to the amount of possible object interactions (being able to sit in the chairs, the camera lens dripping in the sauna, the slides!!!) -- there's so many little details that make this game incredible!!!

[@Dollar_Store_Cacodemon]

Wow... that's a lot of ceramic tiles!

I love the pool rooms. Beautiful and creepy af. Being concerned about something attacking me is scary but it's far less fun for me when it's a real encounter. I have ptsd and it's no longer fun at that point. This kind of game is cathartic in a way where I get to feel creeped out but stay in control. It's beautifully designed and keeps me curious.

I like how the Pool rooms/Dream pools has become it's own side thing alongside the the main backgrounds stuff. It's one of the very few outside of level 0 that has a cult following thanks to Jared Pike. Would love to see someone focus on Level 94 or any other weirdcore level because those make me feel especially unnerved.

[@binsoku6]

Agreed! We need to try to get vintage malls as the next stand-alone

[@StyleshStorm]

@@binsoku6 that's another one too! Especially those with arcades built in.

[@7rich79]

Very pretty. If I had to make one suggestion it's on the footsteps. Since there is a clear heel and toe sound , with the echo you get four noises per footstep. I think it would be better if there were some variation in how it sounds when a foot strikes the ground, otherwise it can distract a bit from the immersion.

[@tensori-ltd]

Thanks, I agree. this is a bit difficult to fix but it's bothering me too, we'll try to fix it before release

[@DirtyHairy1]

I love it I had dreams of being lost in a recreational facility (with pools) for years minor suggestion: when you get out of deeper water there should be dripping noises - to add immersion

[@tensori-ltd]

thanks for the suggestion. it's great idea, we will do it.

[@bigheadbrogames3757]

This is creepy and beautiful at the same time. And graphics are amazing. The water effects are incredible.

[@an8790]

Does anyone else get very weird nostalgic feelings from watching this playthough? It's like it makes me vaugely remember what its like to go to an indoor pool/bathhouse/waterpark when i were 4-5 years old. Tiling everywhere, one large liminal space. You rely entirely on your guardian while youre there visiting, and when you're that age places like it feel absolutely enormous as maze like. It's the age when gerting lost in a bathhouse and not seeing another person at the end of the corridor is enough to make you feel scared and unsure about where you are.

[@ThomasGrillo]

This was very interesting. Refreshing to see devs think outside the box. Thanks for sharing.

[@krisztiannagy7848]

[@tensori-ltd]

​@@AlphaBetaGamer thank you, means a lot to us. We plan to add more of that in later chapters! I watched the whole 45min gameplay yesterday and was very pleased to see that you noticed a lot of the details and seemed to appreciate them. I also appreciate how you cut the scene transitions, showing chapters like this shows our intention of one ending where the next one begins perfectly. We could further improve this by making the transitions more seamless, for example chapter 3 could begin mid-slide. Another thing we can definitely improve on is to add more feeling of exploration / meaningful choices. Now when I watched the game it does indeed feel kind of linear. Anyway, I'll continue to work. Thanks again for playing !

@@tensori-ltdmy brother, there isn’t anything linear about the environment or progression. your set design is so masterful and suggestive that the user is naturally guided through all the chambers. i think alpha had to rewind three to five times, which is a nice touch, but also encourages one to take the darker path with more bravery. i enjoyed watching this while eating dinner.

[@gonz0fist]

Can anyone else relate to the smell of fresh frenchfries at indoor swimming pools?

[@broavonyl5997]

Not the smell specifically, but just the whole fries at an indoor swimming pool experience. When you've exhausted a lot of energy by swimming and screwing around in the water. And while you're still having fun, you notice your energy levels are beginning to drop. And then the thought of food enters your mind. And then you remember the french fries. You gotta gettem. Still partially wet, a little bit cold with a towel draped over your back and shoulders. Eating those delicious warm fries amidst the deafening sound rushing water and echoing voices. Good stuff👌

I love the color of water, that extremely dark green/blue. It reminds me when I was a very small child and my Mom would take me to the big swimming pool at the YMCA; one day I guess they were cleaning the pool because it was mostly drained except for a pool of dark green water far down at the bottom of the deep end.

[@christophermartin1785]

Very cool, but hopefully the final version uses a different sound for the footsteps - sounds like I'm walking around in dress shoes. Something more like bare feet on wet tile might be a little more evocative

[@LadyTigerLily]

Finally, a game that has somewhat realistic water motion when the player character is walking through it. It's not perfect, but I really liked the effect of looking behind you and seeing your wake or getting up close to the duck and your ripples making it move. Awesome details throughout, too.

[@Hawkeye_PC]

Fun fact... its not chlorine you smell in the pool.. its Chloramines, When chorine mixes with tears sweat and urine it produces that iconic chlorine smell. (Also its what makes your eyes burn) So the more potent the smell doesn't mean more chlorine., just meant that someone or lots of someones just decided to pee in the pool. So in this case in this liminal space if few people have been in these pools the place would be quite devoid of chlorine odor.

Oh I didn't consider that at all. Good question though. Probably just public swimming pool temperature (a little bit cold, but you get used to it after a while).

[@dlahouss]

Unpleasantly lukewarm, the whole time. Such that if you run and get warm (or use the sauna), it's not refreshing, but also it's not going to sap your heat if you hold still.

Warm enough to not have the character freezing after a while, with the unlit areas a bit colder.
