About the Game

You are trapped in a mysterious swimming pool. Observe the surroundings for any abnormalities and find a way to escape.

Escape method

  • Do not ignore any abnormalities.

  • If you find an abnormality, immediately return to the pool entrance.

  • If no abnormalities are found, proceed to the pool exit.

  • Once all abnormalities are discovered, find the real Pool No. 8 and leave through the exit!

Special tip

  • The game does not have particularly scary abnormal designs, so you can play with peace of mind.

  • The game duration is about 2 hours.

  • There are approximately 30 abnormalities in total.

Production Notes

  • This is an anomaly-finding game inspired by “Exit 8” and “FalseMall.”

  • It is also my first independently completed beginner project.

  • The level of game production still needs practice and improvement, so I ask for your understanding.

Special Thanks

If you are interested in anomaly-finding games, please add it to your wishlist. Thank you very much! This is a great encouragement for new developers!
