Digital Eel Opens Up The
Brainpipe!
A Psychedelic Endurance Run
Through Your Third Eye!
BRAINPIPE, from the wild and weird
minds of Digital Eel, is a game about transcendentalism, unhumanity, ganglia,
and Jonathan Winters. It is a game that answers the question, "If Timothy Leary
had designed a computer game, what would it look like?" Unfortunately it does
not answer the question, "Why do drive-up ATMs have Braille keypads?"
BRAINPIPE is a mindblowing virtual
trip through your subconscious, rendered in bedazzling three dimensions and made
possible through your computer. Using a one click interface and rated
33.13-TOXIC on the Pangborn scale, Brainpipe commands you to navigate the
twisted passages of the mind in your ultimate quest to awaken your inner self
and become more than human.
Experience your mind’s eye from the
first person perspective, swooping through its glowing neon tunnels (who knew
the subconscious looked so much like Las Vegas on acid?) while collecting
glowing glyphs and avoiding dangers that will shatter your psyche and unleash
the dreaded brain drain–whereupon your skull implodes. Imploding skulls are
usually never enjoyable, so try to avoid the bad things, ‘kay?
Published by Shrapnel Games (and as
publisher we feel it is our duty to warn you that after prolonged exposure to
Brainpipe many testers found that reality was a pale shade of what Brainpipe
offered, creating an addiction that was only kept in check by seeing if their
previous high score could be beat) BRAINPIPE is available as an immediate
download for Windows. Fear not Mac users, with your much cooler television
commercials (Mojave experiment? Really Bill, that’s the best marketing billions
of dollars buys you?), a Mac version is in the works and will be available soon.
Of course all this talk about
glowing glyphs, navigating your mind, and Jonathan Winters may be leaving you
going, "Hunh?" Or perhaps, "What?" Maybe even, "Corn flakes!" So strap yourself
in, grab the demo, and let the Brainpipe flow! Download it by heading on over to
the BRAINPIPE game page.
BRAINPIPE can be purchased for only
$14.95 from the Shrapnel Games online store, the Gamers Front. Trip the light
fantastic within minutes of purchase!
