The Wetrooms: Liminal Pools

Cheap and poorly made liminal space pools game. I believe this was designed for phones and ported to PC. In this game there is no grand liminal space architecture or environment to explore. Instead you are treated with small 5 minute rooms to complete and find the exit. - As you click play game from the main menu, the arrow stays on the screen smack dab in the middle and stays there as you walk around in the game. Completely inexcusable and embarrassing. - I had to play the game on mute, both the music and the sound your feet make in the water are super irritating. - There is one ghost like white transparent enemy in the game, if you touch him you start from the beginning of the game, not the level you are on. Oh and did I mention? He can teleport 2 feet in front of you sometimes at will. Or chase you down a skinny corridor with no way to avoid him. - You character walks like a turtle, very slow and frustrating, with no run button. - The environments / levels are super basic, I could have designed this game when I was 10 years old. Avoid at all costs, even if you enjoy liminal space games, many other better games out there in this genre. 3 /10

This is not a good game and very frustrating!! I hate to leave bad reviews I always try to find good points.....it's very bright....? My advice is to turn down your headphones as this is soooo loud!

Well, I didn't play it all the way through because I couldn't. The second you touch the monster you get sent to the very beginning. Like, you have a cute little poolrooms world here but why reset the entire game? I played for an hour and lost all my progress. Hard to get people to get your game like that. Otherwise, I liked the music, the level design and puzzles were interesting and simple to understand. Just add some quality of life changes or you might get more refunds than good reviews, eh?

I wanted to give a thumbs up because I know how hard it is to write a full game, ready to present it to the public. The monster looks quite pretty and walks very natural. The water looks good and you can climb ladders which is something. There are rubber ducks which I like but thats about it. Many things have been said in the other comments. It is slow, very slow. You can run with shift but only a few seconds, then your stamina runs out. So I run with Shift all the time and it accelerates, slows down, accelerates, like a stop and go in a car. It can happen that you are trapped in a corridor and one time the monster fell on my head. The most imaginable punishment happens to you: You have to start AGAIN from the beginning. And in my case, all the valves in the first few levels kept their positions and I just had to run through the levels. Super boring. Since I don't give up that fast I played till the end, but without any cheers or congrats, the game starts over again, this time with dirty textures. So I wanted to know what happens if you finish it twice, hence my long playing time. But I died and was happy to start at least with the dirty textures again. I died another time and t…

for a backrooms walking game, eh I think there's some potential from this dev in the future though. the atmosphere is here....but the rest of the game falls flat past this. the sound effects, slow walking, the fact that the monster and the ai rarely change...... im still not sure if there is an ending but for a small bad game this one isnt bad. Something kept me walking through 1.8 hours of this game. i made it through two loops before going "ok i dont think it ends" and writing this review. it's not a bad 1 dollar game if it goes on sale

it has pools and rooms in it with help from valve. graphics are amazing with ray traced global illumination and reflections. enemy is extremely scary! puzzles are similar to the witness which is great 10/10
