About
Backrooms Anomaly: Pools is a first-person anomaly-spotting horror game set in a looping complex of liminal poolrooms. Players study tiled corridors, pools and flooded chambers, turning back when something has changed and continuing when everything looks normal. In the Survival Stage, players photograph multiple anomalies before time runs out.
