About
Hired to fix a building, paid too much to ask why.
In Living Pipes, a first-person narrative mystery game created as a senior project at Ringling College of Art and Design, you are sent to a remote building under mysterious circumstances. What starts as a routine repair job quickly unravels into something far more unsettling.
Explore, repair, and uncover the truth.
Navigate dimly lit corridors and strange, decaying rooms using your scanning and repair tools to restore broken infrastructure—fix electrical systems, seal pipe leaks, and reconnect disrupted networks. But as your tasks progress, the environment becomes increasingly unnatural, and you're forced to question the real reason you're here.
Key Features:
First-Person Exploration: Immersive atmospheric environments powered by Unreal Engine 5.
Narrative Mystery: Piece together the story through found documents, audio logs, and environmental storytelling.
Puzzle Mechanics: Use diagnostic tools to identify faults and solve spatial and logic-based puzzles tied to the building’s systems.
Unsettling Progression: As you dig deeper, the building—and whatever controls it—begins to resist your presence.
Will you finish the job… or find out what really lives behind the walls?

Мда, короткая не оптимизированная игра, на низких можно сыграть, но все становится мылом, диалоги на английском но даже если прочтете их мало и есть ли в них какой то интерес? Геймплей это медленно ходить и и решать супер простые 3 головоломки. Кроме арт дизайна, сеттинга, тут ничего нет. Это концепция, может наработка, но игрой в которую стоит поиграть это не назвать.
Жена сказала если на этом обзоре будет 30 лайков и 8 наград , она купит ящик пива, мужики выручайте! My wife said if this review gets 30 likes and 8 awards, she will buy a case of beer, guys help me out!

Damn...what a shame :( I usually have a very low threshold for recommending free games, after all, they're free. Someone has put a lot of effort into creating a game and then allowed you to play it without charging you. Unfortunately I still can't recommend this game. It started off with such promise! OK, so moving around was a bit clunky and the puzzles were not challenging (unless you take into account that they are hard to work out what to do). As with other reviews I have no idea whether you were supposed to be able to read the 'new message' that flashes up on your screen or not. But it's so short! 0.2 hours and it was over, I actually thought I'd hit a bad ending and could try something else, but on checking, nope, that is the end. It spent 3 times longer downloading than I did playing it. That being said, I liked the slightly rude robot receptionist...but still not enough to recommend this game at this time.
Игра "Living Pipes" - это увлекательная головоломка, требующая быстрого мышления и пространственного воображения. Суть проста: нужно соединять трубы, чтобы вода дотекла от источника к цели, но с каждым уровнем сложность возрастает. Трубы постоянно прибывают, места катастрофически не хватает, и приходится быстро принимать решения, чтобы избежать затопления. Что мне понравилось: * Простой, но затягивающий геймплей. Легко научиться, но сложно стать мастером. * Нарастающая сложность. Игра держит в напряжении и не дает заскучать. * Приятный визуальный стиль. Картинка простая, но симпатичная. * Реиграбельность. Всегда можно попробовать пройти уровень лучше или быстрее. Недостатки, конечно, тоже есть: иногда не хватает подсказок или возможности отменить последнее действие. Временами, при очень быстром темпе, возникают случайные ошибки из-за невнимательности. Но это скорее придирки, чем серьезные минусы. В целом, "Living Pipes" - это отличная игра для тех, кто любит скоростные головоломки и готов испытать свои навыки планирования под давлением. Рекомендую попробовать!
10 miinutes is all i need. This game is great, short and concise. straight to the point. it tells a short story, a snippet is all you need, no getting lost in unlimited resource quests or spooky quest logs. it is a nice take on maintenence jobs and it does it well, and hints at a story that you can unravel yourself and take it for what it worth. I see this game as worthy, and i hope you do too! Its short, but for a completionist wannabee like myself, i take a rest knowing i can complete this game between breakfast and study, to get the mind working. Well done devs, great execution of the software used to create, and a functionally sound game. more games should be like this.
Ну и ♥♥♥♥♥
Controls wouldnt work, no way to quit the game i had to alt/tab out and stop it in steam.
