UW is an immersive maze puzzle game about finding the right direction and exploring the journey “from where I came” to “where I am going". The story follows a traveler trapped in a labyrinth, wandering across endless seas under a starless night. Players rotate the core mechanism to discover the correct orientation and unlock each puzzle box, ultimately escaping the predetermined paths and spaces to reach a so-called freedom.

Unlike typical maze games where reaching the exit means victory, this work leads players to realize that the true outcome is not an “answer” but a new “question”. Through its mechanics and narrative text, the game interacts with players and viewers, prompting reflection on the constraints of rules and inviting them to question whether true freedom can exist beyond the boundaries of the box.
