Pool of Madness

From the Devs

Imagine Balatro and Inscryption had a baby. That taught itself to play pool. With bullets. In hell.

Pool of Madness is a Lovecraftian roguelite pool by the creators of Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft (1.8 million+ downloads).

SHOOT. LOOT. BLEED. REPEAT.

Cue. Gun. Cosmic dread. Everything explodes. You walk out die in slow motion, a bloody grin on your blackened face.

• a roguelite fusion of trick shots (pool), ricochets (pinball), and raw firepower (shooter)

• seamless cue-gun interplay for addictive flow

• pool tables are altars, cue and gun: instruments of the liturgy

Perform rituals to lure out void horrors.

UPGRADE YOUR CUE WITH NEW LOOT

Your ever-evolving cue should make the next ritual easier. It will certainly make it different.

• quickly upgrade your cue with collected parts and try out the upgraded build

• unlock new powerups, complete the ritual and get ready for the next terror

• and if all else fails, use your gun to blast your way out 

Lose your mind, reforge your conduit, return stronger.

BREAK IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

Inspired by games like Dark Souls, Inscryption and… pool, PoM emphasises mystery, discovery and replayability.

• break rules and improvise to survive

• discover blood-pumping synergies, multipliers, chain reactions and master the chaos*

• *picture fish exploding midair in slo-mo, powerups raining down, balls bouncing off their tails and ramping into premium-scored pockets

Ritual is law. Everything else is yours to break.

FACE VOID HORRORS

The rituals are your baptism of blood, preparing you to face a void lurker:

• complete rituals to lure out ancient horrors

• hunt them down, get more loot, uncover the story of the missing ship crew

• or die trying - and come back stronger

Slay void beasts for loot.

CHALK - SPIN - HUNT

So rise up, chalk the cue and spin the chamber, voidhunter, for the ritual begins anew.

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

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

Let it be known: this beast is still growing. The game is currently at an early stage of development. The playtests and media do not reflect the quality of the final release.
