So, get this—last year, the folks over at Tensori decided, “Hey, why not sprinkle some VR magic into our Backrooms-inspired game called POOLS?” Fast forward to now, and we’re gearing up for a dive into these spooky waters come May 30th. Yep, you read that right. Save the date and have your PC VR headsets ready.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—“Another horror game where I gotta outrun some pixelated ghost, right?” Wrong. This one’s all about pools. And not the regular, “Hey, let’s jump in for a swim!” kinda pools. These are unsettling. Something about their lifeless, eerie calm is just… you know, haunting.
Here’s the deal: This isn’t some fancy new purchase. Nope, the VR version will pop into your steam library like a free app update. And guess what? You not only get the entire game but also the recently dropped ‘Chapter 0’ which splashed onto the scene back in April. That’s the entire POOLS experience from A to Z in VR mode. Nice little surprise, huh?
And for you PlayStation folks, don’t worry, you’re in the club too. PS5 and PSVR 2 support is dropping later this year. No specific date, but hey, anticipation is half the fun, right?
Oh, and a quick note for the savvy spenders out there—until April 27th, you can snag POOLS on Steam at a sweet discount. It’s priced at $6.36, down from $9.79. Feel like testing the waters before you commit? There’s a demo too! Just remember, no word yet on if it’s gonna soak up some VR support post-May 30th. So, stay tuned for all of that jazz.
Anyway, gotta admit, the lure of VR plus eerie pools has got me curious—almost like staring into the murk and wondering what’s lurking in the depths. Or maybe that’s just me spiraling. Who knows.
