Clean Pool is a narrative roguelike (18+) that places you in control of one swimmer within a training team as strange forces begin to affect their camp. The game blends story-driven choices with task-based gameplay: you clean the pool, manage chemicals, explore transformations and try to solve the core mystery across a limited number of in-game days. Players who like character-focused indie experiences with replay value and a slightly uncanny atmosphere will find Clean Pool intriguing because its mechanics tie directly into the narrative and every decision can change how the team’s story unfolds.
