Pool of Madness

What if Diablo and Inscryption collided with a twisted game of pool?

Seems insane? It is – and it's spellbindingly satisfying.

• a completely new, seamless take on the game of pool • a mad, yet eldritchly entrancing combo of different video game genres, with elements of billiards, pinball and golf • we guarantee you haven't played anything like it

Pool of Madness is a loot-driven roguelite where your cue is an ever-evolving weapon. Upgrade, adapt, and challenge the void-born terrors once more, with new strange powers at your disposal.

• forge a personalised, eldritch cue from parts collected along the way • test your sanity and fight void-born bosses on different tables • unlock new loot: powerups, balls, cue parts and more

Pool of Madness does not hold your hand, respects mystery and encourages experimentation.

Taking inspiration from all across the spectrum, from traditional roguelikes like Brogue, to genre-defining titles like Dark Souls and Inscryption... and - well - pool, it emphasises discovery and replayability, inviting you to break the rules and develop your own unusual strategies in order to survive.

• no hand holding, only the void • endless replayability • freedom to experiment and break the rules

The synergy of different gameplay systems allows for endless possibilities, approaches, rising stakes, mounting insanity, and emergent situations that result in a flow state. Become one with the void and challenge your friends to do the same!

• enter a flow state as the pool balls start to explode, blood-pumping chain reactions fill the screen, stakes rise and outrageousness thrives! • play alone, with real or imaginary friends, locally or online

"Heavy fog envelops our ship as we navigate these unhallowed waters in search of the island. The captain’s quarters continue to reverberate with unsettling laughter and faint incantations, hinting at a mind adrift, eroding what little morale remains among the crew."

Immerse yourself in the unholy depths of Pool of Madness, a Lovecraftian-themed billiards game where the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur - perform rituals to appease the ancient horrors lurking beyond and try to unveil the secret of the missing ship crew as your mind disintegrates.

Or don't - ignore the story of the crew and focus on the rituals. You decide how deep to dive in.

In other words: Shoot some balls. Go insane. Try again.
