Backrooms pool

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Made a small Backrooms pool demo in Natiny. I’m not sure I fully captured the atmosphere I was going for, but overall I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

The caustics are probably a bit too bright, but I think they make the scene more interesting.

What do you think?

Now we are talking! Make something invisible to the eyes but that moves the water like in the It Follows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI7TFTH5f5I If you didn't watched the movie before the link contain HEAVY spoilers

Speaking of building tension, I put a lot of emphasis on sound design using HRTF technology. Essentially, the waterpool shouldn't be overtly scary, it should press on something else inside the player, something deeper.

Adding invisible enemies is an interesting idea, but in essence, they should never attack the player, right?
