We played Annapurna's upcoming puzzle game Cocoon, which is the brainchild of Jeppe Carlsen, the lead gameplay designer of Limbo and Inside, and we came away continually surprised and delighted. Check out our hands-on impressions of this wondrous puzzle game. Previewed on PC by Will Borger

Seems to be a bit of a spoilerific video but this game keeps showing well for me.

What's the world to describe this? Oh, yes...

Another great indie game on GamePass.

It's getting hard to tell those artsy fartsy indies apart from each other

Unless your over 40 it’s gonna be hard to decipher this. Lol

 

[Drizzlehell]

Unless your over 40 it’s gonna be hard to decipher this. Lol

I'm under thirty and I know that it's a reference to the 1985 movie Cocoon.

Brimley/Cocoon Line Calculator

Sad day for me coming up.

I’m incredibly happy that this many people got it. I was just hoping for maybe 1 person. Gaf never lets me down

I can't. All I remember is Wilfred Brimley was in the movie Cocoon and something about Diabetus.

Brimley/Cocoon Line Calculator

I love that there’s a calculator for this not that your approaching the Brimley line lol. I won’t cross it till Feb 24, 2028.

I saw the movie involuntarily when it was in theaters when I was 8 with my dad (that was his thing, taken his kids to movies we could barely comprehend. I could tell you a boring story of sitting through Amadeus the year before at the age of 7)
But this movie held my attention only because we had moved to the St. Pete area there in Florida the year before (where the movie takes place) plus it involved aliens and it had officer Mahoney in it.

All in a nice package

I like them, but it's true.

 

[Myths]

Seriously thought it was going to be a lengthy appreciation post of this setting.

But yeah, the puzzles seem to be intricately designed and well thought out as the player progresses. Definitely seems to challenge most other adventure puzzle games in that respect from what was shown.

disapointed now it's not a game inspired by the movie lol

 

[Batiman]

Reminds me a bit of Below. Just a sci-fi version. I liked below but it got frustrating pretty quick. I remember being super hyped for that

 

[KloetenQuetsche]

So... Friday it's coming.

No previews or something.

Well, that slipped under my radar for sure, had no idea we were this close to launch.

Where’s the marketing?

 

[nkarafo]

the lead gameplay designer of Limbo and Inside

Wait, he is not working with Playdead anymore? Or is it a side project?

Gamepass

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Everytime i see this name i immediately think of these movies LOL

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Yeah it’s annoying. Makes me wonder if it’s got issues with there’s no marketing or anything the week of release. Same thing happened with Baldo.

Sea of Stars had tons of buzz and people publishing previews in the run up to released, and had great sales because of it.

 

[Fart Knight]

It reminds me of this

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Looks nice

Too bad there are no waifus in it though.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Thought this said Jade Cocoon. Still interested though.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Looks to be reviewing well, out Friday, Gamepass day one.
