COCOON

You guide a small creature through strange alien environments built from biomechanical structures and ancient machinery. The journey is presented without spoken or written explanations, with the surroundings conveying what can be explored and used.

Each orb contains a world that you can enter and leave, carry into other realms, and nest inside them. Moving between these layered spaces is central to solving spatial puzzles and reaching blocked routes.

As you progress, orbs gain distinct abilities that help you reveal paths, trigger switches, and manipulate devices. Exploration and puzzle solving are punctuated by encounters with guardians protecting the worlds.

Players often praise the nested-world orb mechanic for turning spatial relationships into satisfying puzzle solutions, and appreciate how the game teaches its interactions through the environment rather than text. Reviews also frequently highlight the distinctive alien art, atmosphere, and sound. Some find the puzzles too straightforward or the experience too short, while others value its approachable challenge; opinions on the guardian encounters and later-game pacing also differ.
