Players step into the role of a robot in a collapsed human world, piecing together civilization's fragments through a two-layered Rubik's Cube made of tech relics. Core gameplay centers on restoring the Cube across four stages, each delving into scientific concepts like polar coordinates, Newtonian gravity, circuit theory, and Fourier transform. Smaller scenario puzzles add depth to the restoration process. This strategy simulation blends casual puzzle-solving with indie exploration of science's ties to societal issues, from class structures to exploitation. Fans of thoughtful Rubik's Cube challenges and reflective simulations will find a focused loop that uncovers human evolution's enigmas.

Brief

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

Story

In a world where human civilization has collapsed, you will take on the role of an intelligent being（Robot）, 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.

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.

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.
