Just don’t save your game before midnight.
Veteran fans of this cult classic only need to hear two words to shudder: The Pool .
On the surface, it has all the hallmarks of a forgettable summer romance VN: a returning protagonist, a seaside town, a childhood friend, and the oppressive heat of Japanese August. But if you go into this game expecting fireworks and festival dates, you are going to leave with a very different kind of trauma.
Have you played this obscure gem? Or did you think I was making this up until you Googled it? Let me know in the comments below. And for the love of god, don't date Yukino first.
