I’d seen a reveal trailer for it previously, but that didn’t explain too much about its gameplay. When I picked up a controller to play the demo, I knew absolutely nothing about Cocoon or how it played.
That certainly shows, as the world almost reminds me of a more colorful (and less phallic) version of H.R. I wouldn’t fully understand what I was seeing until I talked to some members of the development team, who cited Alien as a huge inspiration, after playing it. It’s an odd fusion, with robotic, insect-like structures populating its eye-catching 3D world. In Cocoon, players take the role of a winged insect lost in a strange world that’s somehow both mechanical and natural. I’m already dying to return to Cocoon‘s unexplainable world and unravel more of its quiet mysteries. It’s a little hard to get a sense of what it is from a trailer, but it left an incredibly strong impression on me after 20 minutes of playing time - so much so that I was genuinely bummed when I had to put my controller down.
