Cocoon is a puzzle adventure game developed by Geometric Interactive and published by Annapurna Interactive. Players control a small insect-like creature navigating interconnected worlds contained within orbs, solving environmental puzzles by carrying and using these orbs to manipulate space and progression.
About the story
Players have to interact with alien environments and biomechanical devices left behind by an ancient civilization. They journey through unique and diverse biomes, from industrial structures to massive organic caverns, and discover how they are connected to one another. Each orb has an ability that can be unlocked, thereby turning the orb into a unique tool for players to utilize within other worlds. Players can use these abilities to uncover hidden pathways and objects, fire projectiles to trigger switches, and more.

Critic Reviews
Geeks Under Grace
By Anna ZhangA short but delightful adventure through an alien world. With great puzzles and atmosphere. While it doesn’t quite live up to its predecessors, fans of Limbo and Inside will definitely want to pick this one up.
Geeks & Com
By Anthony Gravelwe regret not having discovered Cocoon at the same time as the rest of the industry last September. However, it's not too late, which is why it recently made our list of great discoveries on the Nintendo Switch. This is an excellent first title for the Geometric Interactive studio, and we'll definitely continue to follow Jeppe Carlsen and his team in the future.
NextGen Player
By Paul HunterIn an era of derivative games offering similar experiences, Cocoon is a much-needed breath of fresh air. The mind-bending worlds within worlds concept is something I've never experienced before and racked my brain—with the payoff being worth the effort. It's a beautiful game with new ideas and I loved every minute of it.

By Vladimír RusnákCocoon is a beautiful puzzle game full of interesting puzzles and bossfights. The world building could stand to be a bit clearer, though.
Console-Tribe
By Federico LelliCOCOON is the perfect puzzle game, with impeccable design and varied puzzles that will please experts and enthusiasts. Its minimalism and assumed standard mechanics might challenge newcomers, but it's highly satisfying once you get used to it.
