THE DESIGN LENS

What makes this worth a closer look.

COCOON makes a world serve as both place and portable object: each orb can be carried, entered, combined, manipulated and rearranged. Because an unlocked orb ability remains useful inside other worlds, the inventory and the level map become the same nested system rather than separate layers.

Before you make it your next game.

Choose it if spatial inference appeals; the official pitch also foregrounds guardian battles, so expect more than a quiet walk.
