Introduction


Wateroot is a 3D maze game. By rotating the models, which are pipes, players can flow a water drop in

the pipes move with the influence of gravity. When the player finds the exit and lets the drop through

the exit, a level is finished. The source of inspiration is a hypothesis of cosmology – “Heat Death”.

Since the beginning of the universe and since the emergence of life, everything in the world has evolved

in its direction. And each of these development paths becomes part of the complex roots of evolution.

But based on the second law of thermodynamics, the increase of the entropy principle will only let all

the roots converge to a final end, and the world will return to heat death. The water in the game

represents the root of life. It is also the trace of the existence of human beings and other creatures

living on Earth in the universe. The backgrounds of the game represent that from the first sprout of

life underwater to the vastness of the stars, the evolutionary roots of life are increasingly

complex, expressed by more complex layers of pipes at each harder level. No matter the root is path, it

always leads to one. If the end of the world is a foregone conclusion, what will we do as life in this

world? This is a question worth thinking about.
