About This Game

"8AM: The Swimming Pool" plunges the player into a tense and enigmatic experience of observation and judgment, set beneath the dim lights of an empty public pool. The night has fallen, and the facility is about to close. Only a few late swimmers remain — tired, silent, and seemingly ordinary.

You are stationed in the control room, surrounded by flickering monitors, hearing the distant echo of water and the hum of fluorescent lights. You don’t know why you are there, nor who asked you to watch. Your only task: observe. Yet, as the clock approaches midnight, the calm surface of the pool begins to conceal something far less tranquil.

From that moment, the surveillance feed begins to reveal strange anomalies — shadows moving where no one should be, reflections that don’t match their owners, and swimmers whose gestures grow more erratic as the hours pass. Are they just exhausted? Or is something beneath the water pulling them closer to madness?

Your mission is deceptively simple: decide what is real. Each scene, each fragment of footage, forces you to question whether you’re witnessing coincidence, paranoia, or something that defies explanation. You cannot intervene — only judge. The truth remains submerged, and your perception is your only instrument.

Every decision brings you closer to dawn — and to understanding your role in this silent vigil. But as 8:00 a.m. approaches, you begin to wonder: are you observing the swimmers… or are they, somehow, observing you?

"8AM: The Swimming Pool" is a psychological mystery about isolation, perception, and the thin boundary between reason and fear. Through the still water and the sleepless night, it invites you to confront not only what lies beneath the surface, but also the unease of seeing — and being seen.
