Excellent short and sweet oddly nostalgic aquatic liminal game, with all different themes of aquatic dreamlike levels. Also has quite a beautiful soundtrack, perhaps not a game for everyone , but it you like dreamcore and Pool backrooms asthetic I would highly recommend giving it a try

One of my new favourite Liminal games. It gets the digital liminal dreamscape vibe I love so much in this genre and turns it up a notch. I’m pleased to see SodaRaptor on the inspirations list as the vibes of this game really reminded me of Interior worlds and SodaRaptor’s other more liminal like games. I love how it focuses on pool like liminal spaces in particular, as that was the one thing I wanted to see more in…

The soundtrack is pretty good but apart from that I didn't like it. I really didn't see the point to it. The monster show itself then disappear non-stop without ever being a threat and there's not much interesting stuff to see so the slow movement is excrusiating.
