Explore, admire and listen. That’s it. Uncanny. Relaxing. Unnerving. Eerie. Immersive. POOLS isn’t a traditional game. it’s slow, reflective, and intentionally uneventful, perhaps a bit like virtual museum. So take your time. Breathe. POOLS unfolds slowly, rewarding patience and quiet attention. No monsters chasing you or jumping at your screen. Yet it can feel oppressive at times by invoking quiet fears of getting lost, the dark, tight spaces and the strange beauty of liminal space architecture. There's no typical story. But as you explore and advance further, you start to notice that the game's world changes around you, deeper you go… Rooms look and feel… different. Base game features six chapters, each lasting 10-30 minutes. Inspired by the internet phenomena Liminal spaces, Found footage and The Backrooms, especially the Poolrooms concept. One of the original artists behind the Poolrooms concept is Jared Pike.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: POOLS™ at 4.5 against CS's 4.0. POOLS™ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). CS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POOLS™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CS asks for nothing beyond the download.
POOLS™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POOLS™ has 1.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of CS's written reviews are positive against 80% of POOLS™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CS ships an update every 9 months, POOLS™ monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
