Rodland of Pipes

Rodland of Pipes plunges you into a maze of underground pipes—where every breath smells of rust, where darkness not only obscures your vision but your mind. The screeching in the silent night, the slow sound of metal dragging across damp concrete—it’s not a system error. Something’s down there. And it’s listening.

Rodland of Pipes Game Story

You wake up in a damp metal room, next to a pipe door that clicks as someone—or something—steps out. No one calls your name. But you hear voices. Faint. Unfamiliar. Whispering through the thick walls, as if coming from the other side of the pipe. “There’s no turning back.”

No memories. No light. There are endless underground pipes, each passage a trap, and every turn a threat. Graffiti adorns the walls. Mudprints and bloodstains adorn the walls. Someone once lived here. However, it is now empty of any occupants. Or at least, not a human. You are entering Rodland—a part of it that has been hidden from the map, from the memory of anyone alive. And perhaps, you were once a part of it.

How to play Rodland of Pipes

Step deep underground, not knowing what awaits

• There is no HUD. No guidance. Only the sound of running water, laboured breathing, and the sound of metal behind you when you think you are alone.
• Every step leaves a sound. And something in the pipes, learning your rhythm.
• The corridors twist and turn, red lights flashing. Under each grate, there could be water… or the body of someone who tried to climb up.

Notes, voices, and broken tapes

• The clues are not in sight. They’re scattered—in old equipment, in blurry tapes, and in symbols written in ink that’s no longer ink.
• Intermittent recordings, where a male voice whispers, “Don’t let it see the light…”
• Tattered, scorched notes about “the hole leading to the engineering area is locked due to ‘biolocation error’.”

Hide, run, or… stand still and listen

• There are no weapons, but there are options. Every noise you make can cost it where you are.
• Keep quiet; use your flashlight as little as possible. Because light doesn’t just help you see.
• Hide in the side pipes, but they’re not always safe. Some were sealed. For a reason.

Rodland of Pipes doesn’t ask you if you want to enter. It just waits for you to open the game, then slowly closes all the exits behind you. This is not a game. This is a downward journey. No checkpoints. No salvation. Just sound. And darkness. If that's not enough horror for you, check out our game Stay Away from the Lighthouse.
