- Welcome to POOLS! This is a hyper realistic horror game about exploring liminal spaces. It's been a long time since we've seen a good backrooms/liminal space game so I'm happy this game came out! ENJOY!

Honestly my favorite part of Insym videos is the interaction he has with chat and just talking to us. It's crazy how many stories or memories he can share and talk about that he remembers that really add value to these kinds of videos.
true
I love how in these past few years many players and game developers and RUclipsrs all actively decided "Haunted mansions and war zones are out -- office workplaces, school, train stations, and the YMCA are the scariest things."
Edit: Obligatory Abandoned-Factory-Asset-
Recovery-Horror to fulfill us blue collar guys' fantasies lol
but those always been part of horror tropes? war zones actually quite rare
If you were curious about the inner tube (or tire) here's the reason it's called that. So, back in the day car tires had a rubber bladder inside of them that was separate from the outer wall. That rubber bladder was called an inner tube and it wasn't uncommon to use them as a float in rivers, ponds and lakes.
Side note, you can sometimes still find inner tubes in bike tires.
Was about to comment about this. :)
So what changed that we don't really use them in tires anymore? Just better quality rubber nowadays making them unnecessary?
@@BitterBatter Inner Tube Tires Overheat
A significant problem with tubed tires is the friction between the inner and outer tubes. This friction increases at higher speeds and causes the tubes to heat up-the faster they go, the more friction, and the more likely they will explode.
In the past, when vehicles weren’t going very fast, this wasn’t much of a problem, but with modern cars traveling at high speeds on highways, it’s a significant safety hazard! Tubeless tires don’t have this problem, making them suited for modern vehicles.
Tubeless Tires Are Cost-Effective
Tubeless tires are also more cost-effective for modern vehicles. Since tubeless tires don’t have the extra tube, they’re much lighter than inner tube tires. More lightweight tires mean a more fuel-efficient car and more cost-effective tire investment for modern car owners.
Tubeless Tires Handle Punctures Better
Another significant reason we now use tubeless tires is their durability and ability to handle a puncture. A tubed tire with a puncture can blow out immediately, exploding and becoming a massive safety hazard for the car and other vehicles.
Tubeless tires have a much slower deflation rate, allowing drivers to slow down, gain vehicle control, and reach a safe place for tire repairs or replacement. Also, modern tubeless tires can use liquid sealants to fix punctures and leaks quickly, unlike tires with inner tubes.

The more you know.
and for bikes, it depends where you use it. If only city and for racing, then tubeless. If you need to traverse through dirt and stuff, with a tube.
@@jasonwolf5012 this is way better than the explanation I was going to give. That's an amazing reply.
I was just about to sleep. Now i have some popcorn
Do you mean …. poolcorn?
I’ll se myself out
@@deerdren ah you mean sea yourself out
the watermelon seed thing is actually true, under the right circumstances, stomach acid will dissolve the seed before it can sprout but there was a case where a seed got into someone's lung and sprouted, he had breathing issues and chest pain long before it turned into a watermelon though.
Thought it was a pea?
@R.Jasper you could be correct on this, but I imagine it would work the same way with a watermelon seed, not sure though!
That's fucking terrifying lmao
sounds like some home safety hotline sh*t lmao, nature is crazy man. it amazes me
"Why do dogs have such nuclear farts?"
Best moment ngl
People are calling this horror, meanwhile I'm just relaxing to the perfect visual and sound design of this impossibly large and enticing water park. Aside from the odd 50-foot fall, I would totally want to swim around a gigantic place like this in real life.
Horror for extroverys probably
This is THE Poolrooms game in my opinion. Such an outstanding fantasy of the dev and unique environments, honestly, beats any other games by a mile by just sheer crazy surrealistic feel to them, yet maintainting that comfort, that makes one explore environments further.
It would be so much more with a little bit more profound story and more tension added. But aesthetically-wise, the dev absolutely NAILED the feel of Poolrooms ❤❤
It's always a joy to see you playing more of Backrooms games, thank you! :)
if a pool is a pool but the pool pulls you into the pool, is the pull pulling you or is the pool pulling you? maybe the pool is pooling you and the fool is fooling you.
🤤
🥴 I can't bro
one thinga for sure... my brain, which should be braining, is in no longer braining.
lez you fuckin druggo
My brain aint braining
im ready for the insym childhood pool talk again!
this felt like a podcast. I enjoyed it. lol
This was amazing. I love when Insym plays the calming,, but terrifying liminal spaces games. Was also how I first discovered him and since then love watching the majority of his videos.
"Giant Sauna" Its called living in the Southern US and other High humidity with high heat locations.
About the wave pool being dangerous. When i was a kid i was in a wave pool at some point and i got stuck under the current and couldnt swim back up. Luckally i was able to grab a mans leg to het his attention. Otherwise no one would have seen me and i didnt have enough air to just wait it out. It was super scary. This man pulled me back up and helped me swim back to the side. I think this wave pool was just build in a wierd way because i have never had this problem in the netherlands. This happend in Egypt. And then the ppl of the hotel blamed me that i wasnt able to swim well enough which was not true at all 🙄
I LITERALLY was just looking at pools on steam like an hour before this video got released! That's a fantastic coincidence. Now I get to see insym play it.
44:00 its actually the opposite! Sitting like that allows for a person to pop up to their feet much quicker than someone sitting on their butt, allowing the samurai to be better prepared in the event that they needed to defend themselves or their lord.
Negative. He is actually correct as a proper "Seiza" position was known for causing leg numbness. Japanese warlords and shogun were always depicted sitting cross legged rather than in a seiza position so that they can evacuate more quickly and historically samurai did not sit in a seiza position unless in a presence of a high official. Look up a proper seiza position, try to get up from it you will struggle. You're thinking of a Kiza position which was used by Kendo and Samurai practitioners which did offer a faster standing time but was not used in official meetings.
I love chill games like this, I honestly think this is one of my favorites that you've played
Thank you for the video to fall asleep to! (Typed this after waking up)
14:20 we had one of those slides where I grew up and the people pushing you used to push you backwards or spin you while sending you down bout the ride got shut down cause one time a kid flew off the side and landed in the rocks and broke his neck… when the ride reopened with guard rails there was no more spinning allowed /: that slide was my favorite it was called the scorpion
Tragic :((
I was drinking at the butt falling out comment, I almost choked lol. That shiny dark staircase with the lights on either side was sick
Darkwood would be amazing to see you play! You'll love that game for sure.
i had a nightmare like this once in my infancy. it was a deep rectangular pool in the ground where the floor was at an incline, so you were forced to go down one of five slides where all the water was going. the slides all led to a single horizontal tunnel where you would be crouched down and the water remained at chest height. the tunnels had a caveat where the only way to transition from one bit of air to the other, you had to dive and traverse the tunnel in either direction because the transitioning portion of the tunnel was below the surface.
i was never able to do it, because i was scared that i might drown while trying to swim through the tunnel. i had no idea when the next pocket of air could be.
what a chill video
had that on my second screen while drawing it was perfect
I watched the first 40 minutes last night. After I get my morning cerial and sit down I continue watching. As I take the spoon the my mouth, the first words are "if you are eating right now go away"...
27:47 We call them inner tubes because older style tires, but also large construction vehicles and maybe some farm equipment, have rubber inner tubes inside the tires. Before there were "pool tires" or pool tubes, this is what people would use as floats on water. They even had Schrader valves like you have on your car tires, so you had to air them up before you went to the pool and transport them full, or if you were very unlucky, you had to use a hand or foot-powered pump to inflate them. These tubes were absolutely BALLER on snow though. They were slower than what we called a "runner sled" on hard packed snow and ice (if the rails were waxed), but they were still quite fast and a lot more comfortable ride. And they were often large enough, if you had one from a large construction vehicle tire, to actually ROLL down a hill, if you were absolutely insane enough to do it.
Love liminal spaces and backrooms horror games!
I love that we were just exploring eerie place and talking with minimal threat really.
What a coincidence. I discovered this game today and downloaded the demo! Can‘t wait to watch you play it! ❤
fun fact, i'm actually scared of pool donuts. i've started to overcome the fear but i'm still not a big fan of going down slides with those. it feels like i have less control. i've seen people flip backwards while going down slides with donuts and after experiencing it myself i can say that yes, it is it as terrifying as it looks.
This looks really good.
The Classrooms has also recently updated a new map with pools.
Darkwood imo would be decent for streams but there is a ton of obscure stuff going on and people will try to spoil. Would be cool to see you play it and discover things naturally on your own.
39:40 with no context
1:12:10
😂
1:12:20
As a cat owner: YES. YES THEY DO. Nowhere near as often as our dog does, our dog has room-clearing farts, but my god. The cat's farts are rancid when she wants them to be.
I know you said Darkwood is real long, and especially for a stream. and ive made a million comments about playing it, but your narration along a story is what makes it so interesting. please if you have it in you I'll %100 be there for the live.
the game is ok.i wish they add some player interactions in there, instead of just walking simulator. i love the small talks btw, i really enjoyed it talking with chat even though im not there live.
Would be so cool if they made this type of game with circus / amusement park theme 😊 I hope one day they will.
27:36 they are called inner tubes because a lot of them look like the inner tubes they used to use in tires. around here they are called inner tubes or float tubes.
one of my few pool memories was going to one of those wave pools then almost drowning when i was little, some random german guy i unfortunately cant remember at all saved me though
Thank you for playing 🙏
This game is so damn cool, i was checking it out myself today and it was amazing! So emersive :)
Pretty cool tech demo.
1:07:45 fun fact one time about a year or so ago I fell asleep with auto play on and went from a chiller game (idk what but I THINK phas) to hearing the US EAS in some home invasion game can’t remember what. and I’ve never woken up so fast in my life but loved the game and video. Made me consider watching a different channel to fall asleep to 💀
(Insert loud whistle noise) WAAALKKK 😡😡😡😡
(Really glad we all had the same experience at pools)
I believe we call them inner tubes because with their shape and the valve to inflate them are similar to those of the inner tube of like a bike wheel, where a tire is the outer rubber of the wheel.
That's my guess at least
I got jumpscared at the end 😂 but not from the jumpscare, i got it from an ad that shot a ball in my face instantly after the nearly jumpscare ingame.😂
The way I understood the reason for innertube is that is it literally the "inner tube" of a tire. When I've floated down the river in my hometown, we go to a hardware store that sells the inner tube of tractor tires or like regular ones.
Never heard of the going blind if you fall on your butt too hard.
29:32 I almost drowned in a wave pool when I was little. It was horribly packed with people and semi-hard foam plastic floaties. I was with a friend but we got separated almost instantly. There were 2 lifeguards for around 50 people (only 2!!) and they didn't notice when a floatie hit me in the head and went on top of me, forcing me underwater. I got stuck under this big mattress kind of floatie, that could fit 1 or 2 people laying on it, and the weight and friction of it held me in place so I couldn't swim away. I swallowed a bunch of pool water while trying to get air and then I managed to grip the edge of the floatie and drag myself free. I heard later on the news that there was a child that drowned in that same wave pool on a different day and I couldn't help but feel glad it wasn't me.
I would never in a thousand years let my children play in a wave pool. They are absolutely dangerous and I'm glad they're banned.
I saw a instagram about this game I think
saying this game won’t have any entity and only have liminal space places
I was hoping to see you played it and you did⚡️⚡️🔥
1:20:03 When going to the restroom goes from single player to co-op.
My pc: No, fun is not an option, only fire.
I just want to add in RUclips adds perfect timing.
Insym “is that a slide!?” Runs up to giant mouth looks in
Insert add for Dicks (a sporting goods store for those who don’t know)
I spat out my drink
"No Na Na Na!"... MCR "Na Na Na" starts up in brain.
0:49 maximum motivation
"Is it true if you fall on your butt you go blind?"
Yes, temporarily. Like, only a few seconds.
Source: Pain.
Not your butt-butt, mind you. Specifically the coccyx, the tip of your spine. Your butt is big and poofy enough to shield it, so you have to land really badly. But a direct hit at the wrong angle basically sends a compression shockwave up your spine, which is... disorienting, to put it nicely. Feels really similar to being knocked unconscious.
Unreal engine 5 is insane dude😮
It’s made with unity
@@clanka5509 even better then
I like your pfp haha
It's insane how it's still such a stuttery mess after all these years.
@@kes_poco it's a (intentionally) poorly drawn stolas from hh, made by my friend. Go to my channel info and you'll see who made it
During grace, at least in my experience, the person that cooked the meal is thanked for providing and cooking the meal. Yeah, you thank God for being able to enjoy the meal, but you don't leave the people out of it.
You've played The Classrooms before, but they had an update, earlier this month. If you liked it, I'd love to see you play it again for the update! They added The Poolrooms :) Love the content!
The horror game in which you have a time limit before your feet rot.
This game feels a lot better by itself then being tied to the tonys pizza game.
I drowned in a wave pool when I was about 6 years old. Luckily, a very nice man saw me and saved me.
32:44 im fairly certain the swim 20 miles thing is for lifeguard certification.
I just now learned that Speedo’s are called ball squeezers in Dutch 🤣🤣
We pretty much call them "life bagels" in Turkey to those "tires". Makes sense, as they kinda look like bagels
0:49 Chair of motivation
I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!
@@dr4k0nm47PROVOKING BLACK CLOUDS IN ISOLATION
Like this, The Classrooms has a new update with a monster that uhm... Will be lovely. You should try that one!
I suggest you play a game called “The well speaks to me” made in RPG maker, it’s a short silly horror game but it’s pretty… You could say, unnerving with it’s art style and theme.
51:20 It reminds me of "Jack's house" It probably got inspired by it.
Few days late to the party, but gum can be swallowed, but it can't be digested by your body. It just goes straight through. There are no health complications from swallowing a piece of gum, but if you swallowed a whole pack of gum, I imagine that would cause complications.
would LOVE a chaotic skyrim playthrough
Knowing if i download this my computer probably catch fire.
I almost drowned in a wave pool at Aquaboggan Water Park when I was a kid. Drunk adults were on a pool float that went out of bounds and floated over my head. 😅
21:38 DIAVOLO???
Wait, you're Dutch? Have you played We Were Here? Its a Dutch puzzle horror game. I recommend it. Game is short but puzzles are rough and the atmosphere is creepy
Water in liminal spaces do something to my brain. It feels so good why 😭
Please play Superluminal, it is an amazing game. I have played like 4-5 times all the way through.
looks like my pc would explode just downloading this
41:20 bruh vergil chairs 😂
or just solo leveling boss 🤣
12:52 SWEET LIBERTY MY LEG!
Hello Insym can you also try Poolrooms. I feel that its more intense and fun to watch. Thank you
We call them innertubes because they are the tubes that go on the inside of some tires, hence inner (inside) tube
All I can think about is someone had to lay all that tile.
I fell on my ass in the ice rink and I hit my tailbone which sent a shock up my spine and I went blind for a sec(It's like passing out). Tried to yell for help while trying to stand up blind was wild since the staff on the ice rink didn't hear me and I had to hold one of the plastic traffic cones on the ice for balance, I could only skate to the exit of the rink when my vision cleared then I could go find a seat ToT
I love this one!

Is it weird that im doing the math on JOJO doing a sub 2min poop.
Giving that it takes
20 sec to walk to toilet
10 sec to sit and get ready.
15 sec to wipe and flush
30 sec to wash hands
20 sec to walk back to chair.
That means she fires out a poop in less then 25 seconds, thats some efficient poopage.
Just me thinking that? Yea prob
I watch a streamer who can pee in 30 seconds.
I could only do it if my bladder was basically empty and the toilet was in my office.
@@Laurinda15 peeing is diff tho. Squeezing out a meat log sometimes you feel empty inside and standings all woozy hahahaha
I was trying to contain a poop while playing league of legends but everyone jumped into the next game before I could. I did a 1 minute poop before the loading screen was finished (thank goodness for people with crap ping) prefold that toilet paper and be ready for once the evil has been removed lol
@@timothyschadewaldt6481 banish thy evil demon to the poopool
2:24 Your about ten years older than all of us but your wisdom still holds true.
10? Speak for yourself lol
@@paharris4266 insym is 27 to be fair, hes 10 years older than alot of people here
A lot of his viewers are older than him. :)
Ten years older? lol how old are you??
@@demapping I promise that youtube gaming viewers aren't all teenagers lmao it's a stretch to say he's a whopping decade older than "all of us"
Anemoiapolis really was a tragedy. The family tropical resort section (most of the demo) is still one of the best, most atmospheric liminal experiences out there. It also has some great mallcore, more "realistic" liminal settings. Too bad the full game was absolute s**t and rushed out the door. Game is abandoned too, so it'll never get better either.
insym is gonna be a good parent man...
when I was 8 or something I decided to jump down a slide, I was air born then came down hard on my tailbone and yes, my vision went dark for a few seconds. If you've ever stood up and your vision went fuzzy, it was like that, but extra scary because I also couldn't breath. It didn't make me "go blind" like permanently which might be what some of the chatters thought.☺
57:20 Yes, if someone cooks you a meal you should thank them, but no one should be forced to eat something out of politeness. thank the cook but maintain autonomy in your dietary choices.
39:43 Sorry Insym, I have never heard the myth that if you fall on your ass too hard you go blind 🤣 I can't even imagine how that could have been told to younger me without being so confused 😆
The only closest thing I can think of was being told if you stare at the sun you'll go blind. Not entirely false I would imagine but I can't say ever tried haha!
Yeah Insym been giga trolled by someone good.
This game reminds me of a nightmare I had as a kid
I have anxiety just looking at this video, i had to take short break because i couldn't take it.
Haha, the weirdest questions pop up like 2 hours into your streams. Dog farts are infinitely worse than cat farts, lol. I'd assume it's because dogs tend to have much more variable diets than cats, and simply can be bigger animals (bigger guts).
Can you please play some more bigfoot? Also can you do it with CJ and Psycho?
Not to blow your bubble or anything but the "Chlorine" smell you remember from pools is actually not chlorine in itself, is the reaction of chlorine with Pee in the Water
That's... not true. The smell is from the chlorine and bromine, you can smell it even when you first fill a pool or hot tub and put the ph balancers in.
I love this game!
we don't call inner tubes tires because they're not tires lol.
okay but the trench foot would be REAL in this game
I love it
Hell yes, play Skyrim!!!😮
