This is a game about knowledge

An analysis of Cocoon. A charming game that, while highly praised among most outlets, has a lot of criticism for its puzzle complexity. However, this perspective misses the achievements the designer, Jeppe Carslen, makes in the precise design of the puzzles in Cocoon. Here I explain Cocoon and analyse what makes it work. Hope you enjoy! :) ________ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/pixel-whip.b...
