Backrooms: Poolrooms … The Poolrooms hold secrets that should never be uncovered…

Strange deaths are plaguing the Poolrooms, and now it’s your turn to investigate the horrifying mystery. Bodies have been found floating in the endless, dimly lit pools, their faces twisted in terror. The Poolrooms are no ordinary place – something dark and deadly has taken root, and it’s not alone.

Strange entities have infiltrated the area, stalking you through the water-soaked halls. But they are not like any creature you’ve ever encountered. These entities are invisible, only detectable by the faintest splash they leave behind. As you search for the required things scattered throughout this nightmarish maze, you must be careful, as every step could reveal your position.

But it’s not just the entities you need to watch out for. The waters are teeming with fish, their movements sending ripples through the pool and alerting nearby horrors to your presence. Every splash could be the last sound you ever hear. If you’re too careless, your position will be compromised, and the deadly entities will be upon you.

Can you survive the horrors lurking in the Poolrooms, or will you become another lost soul drifting beneath the surface? Time is running out… and the waters are rising.
