Full Pipe finds Steam outlet
If given three guesses (or possibly even a hundred) to name the first adventure game to be released on Steam, Full Pipe probably wouldn't be the name that pops immediately to mind, though perhaps the most thematically appropriate in title. Nevertheless, the quirky Russian adventure has indeed become the first adventure to be offered through Valve's distribution system.
A third-person point-and-click adventure, Full Pipe takes place in a "surreal and psychedelic world". Somewhat reminiscent of Samorost or the Goblins series, the game consists of a "large microworld, divided into several levels of various composition. Game cells with diverse non-playing characters are connected with simple pipes you can crawl through. Each cell is one of a kind."
Assuming the role of an unusual creature named "Dude", players will have to overcome 39 different "quest scenarios" through a variety of smart cursor interactions and inventory applications. Along the way, you'll encounter eight different minigames to play, and interact with 45 unique characters, although there is no actual dialogue involved.
The game is available for purchase and download from the Steam product page for $9.95 USD. At present, no other English-language version of the game has been released.
