Cocoon is unlike anything you've played before, turning the insect world into a mesmerizing puzzle adventure.

Cocoon MSRP $25.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “Cocoon is a mesmerizing debut for Geometric Interactive that's filled with ingenious puzzles that will unlock your animal instincts.” Pros Cons I was visiting Pittsburgh last month during the height of the city’s spotted lanternfly crisis. No matter where I walked, I was bound to bump into no fewer than a dozen insects swarming my body.

Animal instinct When I select New Game from Cocoon’s main menu, I’m suddenly born anew – something that’s made clear with some not-so-subtle imagery. Without a single word or line of explanation, I’m placed in control of a winged creature that’s part man, part beetle. I have no idea where I am, my reason for existing, or even what kind of game I’m about to play. I’m never even given a controller tutorial; I’m an infant crawling out of the womb.

I’d love to take credit for figuring it all out on my own, but a big part of that comes from Geometric’s ingenious design decisions. Its intricate world is mystifying, but not illegible. It’s always clear what I can interact with using the game’s elegantly streamlined one-button control scheme. Most clever is its use of sound to subtly push players in the right direction.
