POOLS
Short description
Walking simulator. Explore, admire and listen. Uncanny. Relaxing. Unnerving. Eerie. Immersive. No monsters chasing you or jumping towards at your screen, but can feel oppressive at times by invoking fears of getting lost, the dark, tight spaces and liminal space architecture. Inspired by backrooms.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by $9.33, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $9.79 launch price. That is 5% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
