Fans of psychological horror gaming can look forward to POOLS VR, an immersive, Backrooms-inspired walking simulator set to release in 2025 for PlayStation 5’s PS VR2 and PC VR via Steam. Developed by Tensori, this game offers a chilling twist on the liminal space horror genre.
Unlike many Backrooms-inspired titles that focus on eerie office spaces or endless hallways, POOLS VR transports players to a haunting indoor swimming pool environment. The game combines simple walking simulator mechanics with unsettling visuals, featuring gravity-defying water, maze-like architecture, and dark passageways. The experience is designed to blur the line between the familiar and the otherworldly, leaving players questioning whether they are truly alone.
The recently released trailer showcases POOLS VR’s surreal atmosphere, including MC Escher-style stairways and an oppressive sense of isolation. The game promises a uniquely eerie take on the genre, designed to maximize immersion through VR technology.
While the exact release date has not been announced, POOLS VR is part of a robust lineup of horror games scheduled for 2025. Stay tuned for updates as Tensori prepares to deliver this spine-chilling experience to horror gaming fans on PS VR2 and PC VR.
