Reidemeister Station is a puzzle game where you route a loop of pipeline through various mines, refineries, and factories. To ensure the safety of yourself and everyone at the asteroid mining station, you can only make pipeline moves that will maintain an unbroken loop of pipeline.

The game is inspired by an obscure field of mathematics - knot theory; in which German mathematician Kurt Reidemeister describes just three moves that can untie certain types of knot. These moves are known as the Reidemeister moves, and are used in the game.
