The Poolrooms, based off of the amazing renders by Jared Pike![www.jaredpike.art] This is a scenic map, attempting to stick as closely as possible to the original renders, with no events. As well as using it for nice screenshots, NPC chases work well in this map's winding halls. An alternative version of the map, decorated in a brutalist fashion, can be found here.

This map is a fairly large recreation of the Poolrooms concept, including illogical lighting, endlessly repeating white tiles, and an inescapable sense of loneliness!



"Level 37, commonly referred to as the Poolrooms, is an expansive complex of interconnected rooms and corridors submerged in undulating, lukewarm water. Each area of the level varies greatly in size and structure, ranging from uniform pools and hallways to more open, abnormally shaped areas. The majority of surfaces in the level are composed of white, ceramic tiling, with the only deviation from this color being the blue-green hue of the water. The tiles are eerily pristine in condition, all identical to one another, without a single hint of damage on their shiny surfaces." (I actually wrote Level 37 of the Backrooms!)


Once again, credit for the original concept goes to Jared Pike, the artist behind these masterfully eerie renders.[www.instagram.com]

• It is recommended to have mat_hdr_level set to 2 and mat_specular set to 1 for the best possible quality.
  
• To make the map look as similar as possible to the original renders, disable color correction (mat_colorcorrection 0) and from the shaders tab in the menu, enable Color Modification, choose the "Default" preset and set Contrast to 2. Play around with other values to get an even more accurate look!
