About the Game

On a beautiful afternoon under clear skies, you spend a peaceful moment relaxing in a mountainside infinity pool overlooking a breathtaking view.

But the moment you emerge from beneath the water, everything changes...

Trapped in a place that feels both familiar and unfamiliar, you must search for a way out.

This is a liminal space escape game centered around a swimming pool, experienced entirely from a first-person perspective.

There are very few hints. To progress, players must uncover the game's mechanics and hidden rules through repeated deaths and careful experimentation.

You have no means of attacking. Every stage challenges your movement, timing, and observation skills.

There are no sudden jump scares—only an overwhelming sense of unease and carefully crafted atmosphere.

Estimated playtime is approximately 2–3 hours, depending on the player's skill level.

Some scenes contain flashing visual effects. Players with photosensitive epilepsy or sensitivity to flashing lights are advised to exercise caution.

This game is developed in Unreal Engine 5 and is a solo project created entirely by NURA.
