A Psychological Maze Between Reality and Nightmare
You wake up to find yourself in a strange swimming pool. A space surrounded by white walls and infinitely stretching pools. A world where the ordinary transforms into the surreal.
In this dreamlike exploration, you will wander through realms that exist in the gaps between realities—spaces that are hauntingly empty, eerily quiet, yet somehow familiar. As you drift through these liminal spaces, traces of a forgotten life slowly begin to surface: objects from the past, memories of vanished daily life, and emotions that echo across time and space.
Gameplay Duration: Approximately 20 minutes - The perfect length for a concentrated horror experience
Game Features
• Minimal Hostile Entities, Maximum Atmosphere The core of this game is not about fighting monsters, but about immersion in an ominous liminal environment. What you must confront is the uncomfortable silence, echoes of time past, and the strangeness of this borderline world.
• VHS Filter For an even more intense surreal horror experience, the game's visuals are rendered as a distorted retro nightmare reminiscent of old recorded tapes.
• Deepening Into Unknown Spaces As the game progresses, you'll sink deeper into increasingly unknowable spaces, wandering through mysterious and transcendent places that blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy.
Journey Through Liminal Spaces
These places are not mere stages, but symbols of the protagonist's past, memories, and process of mental descent.
• Pool Area - The adventure begins here. In a world of endlessly sprawling water. Pools continue to the horizon, pale tiles glisten under harsh lights, and the sound of distant water fills the entire space.
The Nature of Psychological Horror
There are no clear enemies in this game. There is only you and places that were once familiar—now distorted, empty, and infinite. Every step forward is another step toward the unknown abyss.
"The familiar becomes unfamiliar, and the deeper you go, the more you lose your sense of self."
Experience approximately 30 minutes of immersive psychological horror as you descend into the unsettling yet captivating world of liminal spaces.
