Brief

Octameta is a distinctive 3D puzzle game that immerses players in an enduring exploration of the enigmas of human science.

Octameta是一款创新的3D解谜游戏，将玩家带入一个超越时间的旅程，探索人类科学的奥秘.

Story

In a world where human civilization has collapsed, you will take on the role of an intelligent being, reconstructing and comprehending the evolution of human technology by solving a symbolic two-layered Rubik's Cube composed of technological fragments. The main focus of the gameplay lies in deciphering the Rubik's Cube, while the secondary aspect involves solving puzzles in small-scale scenarios. 

在这个人类文明已经消逝的世界中，你将扮演一个AI，通过解开一个个象征科技碎片拼接的二阶魔方，来复原和理解人类的科技发展历程。游戏的主要玩法是围绕着魔方的解密，次级玩法则是小型场景的解谜. 

Levels

We have four civilization fragments to restore. Restoring the Rubik's Cube at each stage involves an in-depth exploration of scientific principles, such as polar coordinates (representing reproduction), Newtonian gravity (representing money), circuit theory (representing religion), and Fourier transform (representing power). Those principles not only embody the scientific progress of human history, but also reflect fundamental issues of human society.

共有4个文明魔方碎片需要复原. 每个魔方的复原都代表着对一项科学原理的深入探索，包括原点极坐标（代表繁衍）、牛顿重力（代表金钱）、电路学（代表宗教）和傅里叶变换（代表权利）。这些科学原理不仅体现了人类历史的科学进步，也反映了人类社会的核心议题。

Epilogue

Every significant advancement in the field of natural science made by humanity serves as a means of reinforcing the social structure. Despite originating from pure curiosity, it invariably veers off course due to the powerful inertia of the social system.
This phenomenon recurs at every stage of human social evolution: from slavery to feudalism, and from feudalism to capitalist private ownership. Mathematics is utilized for taxation, while the information exchange facilitated by the internet progressively erects firewalls and censorship. Those all results into class solidification.

Even if humanity ultimately transitions to extinction, the exploitation of the scientific impartial stance by a select few powerful individuals will turn everything established by science into a double-edged sword poised over all of humanity.

人类对自然科学探索的每一个节点, 都会成为社会体制固化的工具. 即使初心是好奇心, 也会随着社会制度强大的惯性而偏离.
而这在人类社会发展的每一步都是循环的: 从奴隶制到封建制, 从封建制到资本主义私有制, 数学被用于税收, 电路, 互联网通讯搭建的信息沟通逐渐建立起更加牢固的阶级壁垒. 

人类终将走向灭亡,  虽然科学本身中立立场, 但只要少部分权力人作为持剑人, 那么科学所建立的一切都会成为全人类头顶的达摩克里斯之剑.
