Clean Pool

Clean Pool is a narrative roguelike that drops players into a secluded training site where a swimming team's routine practice becomes the starting point for strange transformations and tense choices. You control one swimmer and juggle everyday tasks—cleaning the pool, maintaining chemicals—and investigative gameplay as you try to uncover what is happening and whether anyone wants to leave. With ten-day runs, multiple transformation stages per character, and a chemical-guessing mechanic that can determine success, Clean Pool is aimed at players who enjoy story-driven, replayable experiences with adult themes.
