A narrative-driven first-person puzzle game set in the dystopian future of 2080. Take on the role of a maintenance worker investigating strange malfunctions in a crumbling apartment building, where nothing is as it seems.

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?

Reviews
Although the premise and story seem to be fresh and engaging, this game lasts 10 minutes, and thats even if you have to reload the game because of soft locks and poor optimization. Why even publish a game if it has almost no content. Wish this was more than it is.

really interesting little game, you can tell that there was such creative ideas and thought put into it - would be really cool to play a longer version of this!
it made my computer overheat like crazy but it was somewgat enjoyable
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.
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!
Really solid cool looking game and I legitimately want to give it my best, but I need a patch before I ruin the opportunity to enjoy this to its fullest potential. Wait for a patch, because this game has no pause menu, terrible optimization, no volume controls (hits you with a super loud audio spike in the beginning of the game), and no rebinds (which might be a problem for some).
Note to developers... Create a game where you can change settings. There are a few settings this game allows you to change, but nothing game related. (Resolution, V-sync, and I can't remember the last one). Game is too dark. Sound it terrible. Graphics are OK, but the interactions are terrible. The voices are crap, sounds like someone with a bad microphone decided to do the voices on the cheap. Game play is deplorable. when looking at the pipes in the puzzle, there is no incling which direction the fluid will flow (right or left on a pipe that runs up and down). The game crashed after the first 5 mins of play. The "in game" hints disappear too quick and you don't get a chance to read them while you explore the walls/puzzles. The games ends with a fine from the city for (I guess not being able to fix the buildings problems). I wouldn't waste any time with this game. I thought it sounded like a cool concept until I started playing...
what is that constant thumping noise? then i couldn't pick up the antennae to fix the tv. and where is room 206? free but broken. looked good though, could have had potential if it was executed properly
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!
