I gave that Pools game a go recently – you know, the first-person traipse through some liminal spaces that happen to be pool themed. At one point it was trending on Steam and since then it’s garnered loads of positive reviews, with people saying it’s unsettling and drips with atmosphere. Reader, I do think it’s quite atmospheric, but I do not think it’s all that unsettling. If anything, I find it a bit dull, in a way that’s semi-frustrating. Am I missing the liminal space-liker bit of the brain a lot of people have? Am I an anomaly here?
