A horror pool roguelite with guns - Pool of Madness - Next Fest demo, release date reveal, trailer

A horror pool roguelite with upgradable cues, guns and procedural rituals. Shoot some balls. Unleash horrors from beyond. Go insane. Try again.

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

Complete rituals to lure out void beasts. Lose your mind. Reforge your ever-evolving cue and return stronger. Slay them for loot.

The pool tables are altars. The cue and the gun: instruments of the liturgy.
