Backrooms Anomaly: Pools is an anomaly-spotting walking simulator inspired by the poolrooms, liminal spaces and the backrooms.
Walk through looping tiled corridors and search for anything out of place.
Track your progress on the poolside boards. Get 10 right in a row to find the exit.
Leave no path unseen, including the dark tunnel.
Descend into flooded pool chambers and check what's below the surface.
Inspect maintenance areas for equipment that wasn't there before.
Spot the anomaly and turn back. Miss it and you start over.
FEATURES
50 unique anomalies
Normal and Hard modes
Entity encounters that stalk the poolrooms
2 endings to discover
