Pool of Madness Game Demo Review
Verdict: Play
Pool of Madness is cursed billiards done right, simple foundation, genuinely strange on top.
Pool of Madness takes a clean pool foundation and layers Lovecraftian chaos on top. Mine balls, fish obstacles, skull-covered pockets, and a mid-run table flip keep things disorienting in a good way. An hour in and it had not started to feel repetitive.
Pros
- Strong Lovecraftian atmosphere
- Creative obstacle variety
- Permanent upgrades add depth
- An hour vanished without noticing
Cons
- Generous potting physics nag at pool veterans
- Saw blades arrive too late
- Story details deliberately murky
