Just like how Balatro turns poker on its head and into a roguelike masterpiece, the new Pool of Madness Steam demo could do the same for, well, pool. With a simple ruleset, unnerving Lovecraftian imagery, and mechanics that kept me coming back in between writing the paragraphs of this article, the free demo shows a lot of promise for a brilliant idea, and you’ll want to download it fast.

This game sounds like a thrilling combination of strategy and suspense! I love how it takes a familiar concept like pool and adds a unique twist with Lovecraftian imagery. I can’t wait to try out the demo and see if it challenges my analytical skills as much as it intrigues my imagination. Have you had a chance to play it yet?
