00:00 Cozy atmospheres, beautiful graphics, soothing music and a unique story are all part of what
00:06 make a good puzzle game, and in the case of Cocoon by FirstTimeDev's Geometric Interactive
00:12 and published by Annapurna Interactive, all those elements come together in harmony in
00:17 what can only be described as a piece of art.
00:21 According to Polygon, it's difficult to say with precision what Cocoon is about.
00:25 Metamorphosis, perhaps, but also stasis, order and disorder.
00:29 Cocoon's narrative is evocative but elusive, everything is gesture and implication.
00:34 It's the rare game that leaves this much room for interpretation, a deliberate ambiguity
00:40 that complements Cocoon's satisfying but linear puzzles.
00:45 GameSpot reports the game uses just five buttons, one for each of the four cardinal directions
00:51 and one to interact, and most structures you encounter are powered on by inserting an orb
00:57 into the proper place.
00:58 However, what's theoretically simple can quickly grow complex, for each orb is an entire
01:04 world you can enter and explore.
01:07 If you're in the market for something fantastical, don't overlook this title.
01:11 IGN writes that Cocoon not only presents a mind-bending journey through the cosmos via
01:16 fascinating worlds within worlds' puzzle mechanics that beg you to delve into another
01:22 layer deeper, but an interesting take on the repetition of work, life and being a part
01:28 of a bigger picture.
