I don't know that it's universal, but I like to imagine everyone agrees on the Poolrooms being a generally safe place. No monsters or baddies... Just, an endless hall of rooms where you can feel safe, calm, and comforted. As someone who can get overwhelmed by a bunch of stimuli and would want something lesser yet still stimulating, the strangely nostalgic Poolrooms are endlessly comforting in that aspect. If I could be there any time I want, and leave when I have the time, I would want to visit there currently.

I completely agree. I don't like when people constantly want to insert entities and monsters and threats to every liminal space/backroom. To me the poolrooms are a place of calmness, reflection and peace, to leave all your fears and insecurities far away and exist in a place outside of time and space to clear your mind and feel refreshed.

不思議と繰り返し見てしまう魅力がある

Wow, that's awesome... In the 90s when I was child I often had dreams/visions about being lost in some endless places... I was always alone. And usually it was a pool.. Endless pool where almost everything was white and the water was cyan... There also were some mystery black holes in the wall just like in this video. Everything was beautiful but also creepy a little bit. Now, I have just found this content in the internet. It's amazing, I have never expected this.

As a very young kid, I remember swimming in the neighborhood pool - eventually I overcame my fear of the deep in, until I once got too close to the pool drain. My dad told me once "Don't get that close to the drain ever again - it'll suck all the guts out your asshole like a vacuum, and you'll drown." I still have an occasional nightmare about pool drains as a full grown man, and typically those dreams take place in areas like this. It's so weird that these sort of pool-rooms renderings became popular. I suppose we are all more alike than we think, and our brains tend to portray certain scenarios, such as large pools, in similarly dramatic fashion for all of us. Almost as if all of our brains are AI's synced together, producing the same weird, unnerving, uncanny-valley type imagery. That's why I find shit like this so fascinating. It's a visualization I once thought deeply personal, only to realize we're all more alike than we think.

I mean, it's not that fear, but still something you can't just throw outa your mind at all, like it could happen for real...

Imagine playing this mix while actually being lost in the poolrooms.

You can get to the Poolrooms if you submerge yourself for too long in a body of water while you're alone, though there have been some cases when submerged suddenly and unexpectedly, regardless of the presence of others. Some have even said if you aren't careful while using a water slide, you can slip down an alternate path that ends up there. You surface in the endless watery limbo. White tile walls and a slight chlorinated smell, like a hotel pool, are what greet you. Everything is slightly damp and the air is humid, but warm, so you never feel cold despite your clothes that never seem to dry, or lack thereof. Bright skylights illuminate some of the rooms with what seems like sunlight, though it never ends and has no obvious source. In other rooms, celling lights stay lit, emitting a familiar buzz. If you concentrate on it for just long enough you swear you smell mildew. Unlike the Backrooms, this space has nothing, nothing but water and tile. Sometimes, when you stay completely still, you swear you hear a splash echo from a far off pool, or the sound of wet feet upon tile. Any attempt to follow the winding bodies of water, either through a tunnel or slide, just lead to that, more water, and more tile. The lucky ones can find a way back by the methods that got them there, if they're very, very, lucky. Be warned, you don't always find yourself back in the body of water you started in.

It's breezy on this chill spring night with the windows open and a fan going. There's a bit of a comforting nip to the air that almost tricks me into thinking I'm in water while listening to this before bed.
