Cocoon is a puzzle-adventure game designed by Jeppe Carlsen, lead gameplay designer of critically-acclaimed indie hits Limbo and Inside. Players take the role of a small, insect-like creature exploring strange alien worlds contained within orbs. The orbs each hold their own unique universe and can be moved around, as well as entered, creating intricate puzzles that once completed, reveal the cosmic story. Cocoon uses the environment and sound to tell its story, while boasting incredible visuals and wonderfully designed puzzles. It went on to win multiple awards, including Best Debut Indie Game at the 2023 Game Awards.
Lost in Cult are frequently announcing new vinyl and physical video game releases, as well as books, all as part of their ongoing commitment to game preservation and physical media.
