Fellow friends, scholars and abominations!

After the previous early demo we disappeared into the depths in order to emerge yet again, with a new limited time version of Pool of Madness for your eldritch pleasure! Give it a spin and let us know what you think!

The demo is now LIVE on our Steam page:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2873750/

Pool of Madness Endless Replayability Fest Demo - major updates:

  • updated graphics, visibility & high resolution
  • rewritten physics
  • new feature: ability to freeze the ball (check Help), making the gameplay more dynamic and unique
  • new phase, power bar, explosion & blood marks and other smaller changes!


The first super early demo was a huge success, resulting in 11,000 wishlists and a very enthusiastic response from players, which was an awesome surprise! We've used your feedback to introduce some updates to the game and plan to do the same with the current demo, so we'll really appreciate all your opinions (here on our Steam forum, Twitter or Discord!).

Please note that Pool of Madness is very much a work in progress and we're working on improving every aspect of the game. We're sharing an updated demo so we can continue gathering feedback from players early and shape the game together.

So... grab the demo and let us know what you think!
