One of this year's more promising puzzle-platformers finally has more to show—and a proper release date.
Cocoon promises to be a game of intricate puzzles and platforming exploration. Geometric Interactive describes it as"a mind-bending sci-fi puzzle adventure inspired by The Legend of Zelda and Portal."
Geometric describes Cocoon as a puzzle adventure game that has a new mechanic:"each world exists within an orb that you can carry on your back. Wrap your head around the core mechanic of leaping between worlds—and combine, manipulate, and rearrange them to solve intricate puzzles," says the description.
Each orb then has powers that can be further unlocked to make it into a tool that does something like uncover secrets, fire projectiles, and the like. Those secrets and world-orbs all contribute to the worlds-within-worlds discovery of an ancient civilization full of biomechanical technologies. Though it focuses more on exploration and puzzles, there will be fights against powerful bosses:"Mighty guardians protect every world, and you must face them in fierce battles.
"You can imagine the gameplay in Cocoon as picking up different Zelda-like dungeons, and bringing these dungeons into each other to solve puzzles inside them,"Geometric Interactive was founded by Carlsen alongside another former Playdead employee, Jakob Schmid, an audio programmer on Inside who did some award-winning indie work in the early 2010s. Geometric is based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and now has employees beyond just those two. Cocoon will be its first game.
Carlsen is clearly more than a little nervous about the launch."6.5 years of work now has a date. No pressure at all," he6.5 years of work now has a date. No pressure at all 🙃Support us by wishlisting: https://t.co/FUhDoDly8X❤️ pic.twitter.com/Z2FtjlaNcb
