Welcome to the team!<\/p>\n<p><strong>User Guide: About <em>Pipes.exe<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At System 6D, innovation comes first. All new employees are assigned to our most cutting-edge project, <em>Pipes.exe<\/em>, a testing ground for our revolutionary new Geometry Operating System (or gOS). By injecting your consciousness right into the gOS, we can achieve dangerously advanced technological heights. Using our proprietary hand-and-pull locomotion system, you can climb through pipes and mazes while searching for system faults within the gOS. But please remain alert: certain \u201cbugs\u201d may exhibit hostile behavior, disrupt the system around you, or pursue employees directly through the simulation.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AD: content --><\/p>\n<p><em>Pipes.exe<\/em> supports solo contributors or online co-op for up to four employees simultaneously, with a fully integrated VOIP communication system that evaluates workplace professionalism in real time. Excessive panic, shouting, or unprofessional language may affect your employment, so System 6D encourages all employees to remain calm, cooperative, and alive whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p>After all, when you die in gOS, you die in real life!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Key Features<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Work solo or with friends in a surreal procedural jungle gym inspired by nostalgic \u201990s screensavers.<\/li>\n<li>Climb anything, including each other, with physics-driven traversal.<\/li>\n<li>Dodge continually escalating environmental dangers, enemies, and systems.<\/li>\n<li>Watch your language, as profanity will deduct points from your daily performance review.<\/li>\n<li>Adapt to dynamic missions as you retrieve artifacts to return to the recycling bin.<\/li>\n<li>Earn points to unlock items and cosmetics.<\/li>\n<li>Read emails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Playtest Onboarding Begins Today!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Employees can demonstrate their acrobatic aptitude right now in <em>Pipes.exe<\/em>\u2018s debut Steam playtest, which features six QA missions for up to four team members to tackle together.
