Critical Reflex and Moving Pieces Interactive revealed during the PC Gaming Show 2026 that Pipes.exe is coming to PC via Steam, with a demo already available.
This first‑person co‑op horror game for up to four players drops you into the role of a newly hired QA tester at a tech company that is definitely, absolutely, unquestionably legitimate.
A Climbing Gym From Corporate Hell
Your job is simple on paper: test the company’s Geometry System by navigating bizarre three‑dimensional procedural worlds.
In practice, it means climbing endless pipes, grabbing artifacts and hauling them back to the recycling bin while the environment tries to kill you.
System 6D calls it onboarding.
You will call it survival.
Work Together or Fall Together
Up to four testers can team up, climbing pipes, dodging threats and trying to maintain good office etiquette.
In Pipes.exe, teamwork is essential, but so is knowing when to climb over your colleagues if it keeps you alive.
Nightmares in the Pipes
Every task introduces new dangers.
You will quickly learn that your team is not alone in the pipes.
Enemies, environmental hazards and escalating challenges turn each mission into a frantic scramble for survival.
A Workplace That “Values Flexibility”
System 6D expects consistent performance, and failure is not an option.
To stay alive, players must earn points and spend them in the company store on items that might prevent termination.
Success literally comes at a price.
Dress Code and Corporate Culture
The company provides unlockable cosmetics so testers can stand out while suffering together.
During limited break periods, employees are encouraged to explore the office and uncover its unsettling secrets.
And remember: inappropriate language results in point deductions during your daily performance review.
