(NSFW, but it's historically important content)

i'd highly recommend looking at the full article, but the gist is that it was being developed by SEGAsoft, a smaller-scale branch that mainly released PC-exclusives. despite the "erotic" tag, the game didn't actually contain any nudity or sex scenes, just some suggestive costumes.
the project was shown at E3 1996, but was canned due to receiving a highly negative reception.
builds of the game on PC, Saturn, and Playstation 1(!) were left in the possession of associate producer David Gray, who has gracefully decided to release them to the public.

if you find this particularly interesting, you might also want to check out American Hero.

a similarly erotic (with actual nudity this time) FMV game featuring notable actors such as Timothy Bottoms, though unlike Sacred Pools, even though the originally planned Jaguar CD version was canned. the current rights owners made a full remaster of the game in 2021, complete with lightly censored ports on modern consoles.

NSFW content is against site rules. Retro soft core porn games definitely falls into NSFW territory.
