Cocoon, a much-acclaimed indie puzzle game, is available at a significant discount on Steam for a short while. Published by Annapurna Interactive, this game took home the Best Debut Indie Game accolade at The Game Awards 2023.

Geometric Interactive from Denmark is the creative force behind Cocoon, a game that invites players into its intriguing worlds through a third-person perspective. As players guide an insect-like protagonist across diverse landscapes, they are drawn into a quest to solve puzzles and unearth cosmic secrets. Under the guidance of co-founder and lead gameplay designer Jeppe Carlsen, who previously worked on Limbo and Inside, Cocoon has managed to carve out its own space in a year rich with major releases from industry giants like Sony and Nintendo. Besides its win at The Game Awards, Cocoon also received several Game of the Year nominations, putting it in the ring with big names like Baldur’s Gate 3, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Spider-Man 2.

If you haven’t yet embarked on the captivating journey that Cocoon offers, now is a fantastic time to dive in. The game is priced at just $12.49 on Steam, marking a 50% discount as part of the Steam Autumn Sale, which lasts until 10 AM PT on December 4. Notably, this marks only the second time in four months that Geometric Interactive’s celebrated debut has been available at a reduced price on Valve’s platform.

Unsurprisingly, Cocoon has reached the lowest price it’s ever been on Steam, surpassing the previous 40% discount during the Steam Scream Fest in October. Alongside Cocoon, Annapurna Interactive is offering discounts on a range of games, from action-adventures to walking simulators, as part of the ongoing sale. For example, you can pick up the post-apocalyptic cat game Stray for $17.99 and the recently released PlayStation title, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, for $18.74.

In other exciting news for fans, Geometric Interactive is already hard at work on their next project. Though details are sparse, a job listing suggests it’ll be a 3D game with Carlsen once again in the director’s seat. Given Carlsen’s impressive track record, Cocoon enthusiasts should certainly keep an eye on this upcoming release.

Cocoon offers an inventive puzzle adventure experience where players explore worlds nestled within orbs that they carry around. Through leaping between these worlds, you piece together complex puzzles using the unique mechanics each provides. From interacting with ancient alien machinery to battling formidable guardians, Cocoon stands as a testament to Geometric Interactive’s creative vision. Released on September 29, 2023, and developed using the Unity engine, Cocoon continues to captivate with its imaginative storytelling and gameplay.
