The demo currently offers a flatscreen preview of the game, but a PS VR2 update is on the way, promising a fully immersive way to experience the game’s eerie, endless pools and empty corridors.

A Liminal Space Phenomenon

POOLS invites players into vast, abandoned aquatic environments where silence feels heavy and stillness feels alive. You’ll wander through deserted swimming complexes, sunlit hallways, and submerged tunnels, never quite sure if you’re alone. Is someone following you? Watching from the shadows? Or is it all just a dream? The game thrives on that unease, balancing haunting emptiness with moments of quiet serenity.

What began as a passion project from a four-person team in Finland grew into an unexpected phenomenon. The game won Best Creative Achievement of the Year at the Finnish Game Awards and maintains a staggering 95% “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam. Its success not only gave Tensori international recognition but also allowed them to grow into a sustainable studio.

What’s Included on PS5

The PlayStation 5 release of POOLS isn’t just a port—it’s a complete package. Players will have access to:

• The original game

• The atmospheric Chapter 0 expansion

• A fully immersive PS VR2 mode, available at no additional cost

With both flatscreen and VR options, players can choose to explore POOLS in whatever way they find most unsettling.

Release Info

• Launch Date: November 25, 2025

• Platforms: PlayStation 5 and PS VR2

• Demo: Available now on the PlayStation Store (VR support coming soon)

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect chance to wade into the still waters of POOLS, November will be your moment. Until then, you can download the demo today and wishlist the game on the PlayStation Store.

The premise is simple (and ridiculous): the cops are on their way, you’ve got four minutes, and poor Gus is very, very dead. Your job? Hide the body. By any means necessary.

Drag, Drop, Disguise

In Hide the Corpse, you’ll frantically drag Gus across a series of themed rooms, each packed with physics-based props, hiding spots, and interactive mayhem. From a retro diner to a cramped apartment to a sleek museum full of priceless distractions, you’ll have to use your surroundings—and your creativity—to keep Gus out of sight and suspicion.

Oh, and it gets weirder:

• Hide him on a zero-gravity spaceship, letting physics do some of the dirty work.

• Or head underwater to a sunken ship, where evidence floats (or sinks).

Along the way, you’ll need to destroy evidence, wipe fingerprints, and make sure no one finds anything that could link you to the scene.

Corpse Couture & Gassy Chaos

Yes, you can dress up the body. Spend points earned by erasing evidence to unlock a wardrobe of ridiculous corpse costumes:

• Go full retro with a Disco suit

• Turn Gus into a superhero (or villain)

• Or embrace the irony with Zombie attire

Want even more chaos? Activate Modifiers like Gas Crisis, where Gus becomes a human (er… corpse) balloon, using his, uh… “propulsion” to fly around the stage.

“We’re thrilled that our supportive community loves Hide the Corpse — their positive feedback has empowered us to continue to expand Gus’ world with updates and new platforms,’’ said Eneko Barandiaran, Publishing Manager at HyperVR Games. “We can’t wait to invite PlayStation VR players to join the corpse-hiding party next month!”

Mark Your (Crime) Calendars

Hide the Corpse launches on PlayStation VR2 on August 18, priced at $14.99 USD. The game is already available for Meta Quest, and a SteamVR version is on the way.

If physics-fueled slapstick stealth is your thing—and you’ve always wondered if you could hide a body in a diner booth—this one’s for you.

Check out Hide the Corpse on the PlayStation Store and Meta Quest Store now.
