About This Game

Tainted Pools is a first-person liminal space survival horror game inspired by Backrooms lore. Explore the eerie poolrooms and corridors of Backrooms Level 130, where a stalking entity lurks in the shadows, drawn to every sound you make. Scavenge for resources and survive long enough to find your way out.

A lurking threat

The monster moves unseen through the pipes, waiting for a chance to strike. It hears your footsteps, sees your light, and reacts instantly.

Stay hidden

Avoiding detection is always your best option. Fight only if there’s no other choice.

Scavenge for items that help you survive.

With limited inventory space, you’ll need to prioritize the essentials and choose the right tools to survive.
