How it feels
A tense, slow-burn surveillance experience set in a dim, echoing pool at night, where you watch silent swimmers and feel an undercurrent of unease.

What players say
Players are split: some enjoy the creepy pool atmosphere and 100+ anomalies, while others find it too short and repetitive, with cheap VHS effects making things hard to see. The static NPCs and price-for-length ratio draw criticism.
