World Alone: Dreampools

World Alone: Dreampools is a single-player Backrooms experience set in a dreamlike complex of pools. Its narrative unfolds through cinematic sequences and environments as you explore and record what you find.

Story

You play as a man whose name and age are redacted. In his bathroom, he discovers a supernaturally perfect tunnel leading to another bathroom that was not there before. He enters to explore and record the place, but becomes trapped: debris and concrete block the tunnel, and the bathroom door is locked.

After hearing a door open, he searches for whoever might be there. He finds no one, only the bathroom door standing open. Beyond it lies what appears to be a complex of homes with pools, and he must find a way out.

Explore Dreampools

Dreampools is a vast pool complex with houses, bathrooms, megastructures and more. You can interact with the environment by opening doors and using buttons, switches and levers.

VHS visuals

The visual style draws on Backrooms found footage, with a greenish tint, screen-wide noise and blurred edges. Its camera effects combine real VHS artifacts with more abstract effects.
