	Root is an experimental interactive online flash game. It is especially dedicated to people who work on computers and feel the need to relax for a while. By walking through its little tranquil world, one leaves behind the sterility of the PC or office world. The innovative visual design of Root creates a place to feel good and hide away. The game uses a collage technique of seductive photographs of plants, roots, mosses or wood. Animations bring life into a micro-cosmos populated by familiar and fantastical creatures. There is no storyline to follow or goal to reach. Users simply slip from one fantasy environment to the next by solving puzzles and finding ways to move through the cosmos. The game is based on the idea that it is not how quickly users progress but rather how patient they are in trying multiple solutions. Slow motion movements of the creatures and objects as well tranquil flowing sounds bring users into a relaxed and calm mood. It is captivating multimedia!
