The Wetrooms: Liminal Pools

This is not a good game and very frustrating!! I hate to leave bad reviews I always try to find good points.....it's very bright....? My advice is to turn down your headphones as this is soooo loud!

Well, I didn't play it all the way through because I couldn't. The second you touch the monster you get sent to the very beginning. Like, you have a cute little poolrooms world here but why reset the entire game? I played for an hour and lost all my progress. Hard to get people to get your game like that. Otherwise, I liked the music, the level design and puzzles were interesting and simple to understand. Just add some quality of life changes or you might get more refunds than good reviews, eh?

I wanted to give a thumbs up because I know how hard it is to write a full game, ready to present it to the public. The monster looks quite pretty and walks very natural. The water looks good and you can climb ladders which is something. There are rubber ducks which I like but thats about it. Many things have been said in the other comments. It is slow, very slow. You can run with shift but only a few seconds, then your stamina runs out. So I run with Shift all the time and it accelerates, slows down, accelerates, like a stop and go in a car. It can happen that you are trapped in a corridor and one time the monster fell on my head. The most imaginable punishment happens to you: You have to start AGAIN from the beginning. And in my case, all the valves in the first few levels kept their positions and I just had to run through the levels. Super boring. Since I don't give up that fast I played till the end, but without any cheers or congrats, the game starts over again, this time with dirty textures. So I wanted to know what happens if you finish it twice, hence my long playing time. But I died and was happy to start at least with the dirty textures again. I died another time and that was too much for me. I gave up and I will never find out if there is an end. Some tips for the dev: Start over in the level where you died, not at the beginning. Do something about the dead ends, invent a teleport button you can press or whatever. Cut the music, the game is better without. Put some more assets into the game: I saw chairs, rubber ducks and a swab, that's it. Reset the levels after playing. Cut the stamina thing, it makes the game unbearable. Speed the character up. Show the Level Number on a small sign when you enter the level, so the player knows his progress. Don't repeat the same stuff with dirty textures, people don't like that. Instead: Let you win the game. Put some extra sounds in, when you change level. Opening should make a different sound than closing. Put in a sound when climbing a ladder. In one level the walls have a gap and you can leave the level. Ok after a while you get teleported back, but that should not happen. Make a sound when the monster appears. Make one when you change level. Put some love into this game.

for a backrooms walking game, eh I think there's some potential from this dev in the future though. the atmosphere is here....but the rest of the game falls flat past this. the sound effects, slow walking, the fact that the monster and the ai rarely change...... im still not sure if there is an ending but for a small bad game this one isnt bad. Something kept me walking through 1.8 hours of this game. i made it through two loops before going "ok i dont think it ends" and writing this review. it's not a bad 1 dollar game if it goes on sale

Scary Scuffed Games #327 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Vorgeschlagen von: Delphinio Siehst du den Trailer, hast du alles nennenswerte des Spiels gesehen. Viel zu teurer und langsamer Laufsimulator. Keine nennenswerten Rätsel. Stirbst du, fängst du von vorne an. Alles in allem sehr frustrierend, nicht wirklich gruselig oder fordernd und ehrlich gesagt einfach nur langweilig. Hier wurde offensichtlich aufgrund des Backroom Trends versucht einzucashen und nicht anhand des Creepy Pasta Konzepts eine Interessante Spielidee umgesetzt. Rating: Dito: 1.3/5 Chat: 1.27/5 Gesamt: 1.29/5

it has pools and rooms in it with help from valve. graphics are amazing with ray traced global illumination and reflections. enemy is extremely scary! puzzles are similar to the witness which is great 10/10

Dass Spiel ist nicht wirklich gruselig dass laufen ist auch nicht gut Grafik hätte besser sein können so dass es real aussieht und die Rätsel sind auch nicht so gut.

This has potential to look really pretty, but it still needs a lot of polishing. For the price tag i'm not mad about it.
