This trailer goes places

Adult Swim Games has done a good job of picking up off-kilter projects, butPool Panicfrom developer Rekim feels particularly on-brand. It’s a game about sentient pool balls doing anything and everything pool-ball-people could conceivably do. It’ll be out for Nintendo Switch and PC in the near future.

Maybe it’s just me (it’salmost certainlyjust me), but parts of this trailer have a slight unnerving edge to them that calls to mindThe Brave Little Toaster. Then again, that may be a lack of coffee talking.
