A 3D game about diving deep underneath a pool to collect pool toys, making friends, and fighting eldritch abominations along the way. 

Made for the Triangle Game Jam 2026.

Why are you at this strange pool? How do you escape? How is there a live eel living in that man's beard? If these questions intrigue you | am sorry because none of them will be answered, but what will be answered is the calling ... to have a good time... in... The Deep End...

How to Play: 
Dive deep into this strange pool to recover the lost pool toys of the even stranger Daft Denayrouze. Once you find a pool toy, press Q to drop it in the bucket next to Denayrouze. Be sure to talk to him often, who knows what he and his eel companion have to say.
