If you’re a fan of puzzle games, now’s a great time to check out the indie gem Cocoon, available at a bargain of $12.49 on Steam—a cool 50% off. Known for being one of Annapurna Interactive’s standout releases, this game clinched the Best Debut Indie Game award at The Game Awards 2023. But don’t dawdle; this deal is part of the Steam Autumn Sale, which wraps up on December 4 at 10 AM Pacific.
A creation of the Danish studio Geometric Interactive, Cocoon is a third-person puzzle adventure that lets players control an insect-like creature navigating through various worlds filled with intriguing puzzles and cosmic mysteries. Helmed by Jeppe Carlsen, a key figure behind popular titles like Limbo and Inside, Cocoon managed to shine in a year packed with major releases from big names like Sony and Nintendo. Beyond its award-winning success at The Game Awards 2023, it also received several nods for Game of the Year, holding its own against titans like Baldur’s Gate 3, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Spider-Man 2.
If you haven’t yet taken the plunge into Cocoon’s fascinating universe, now is the ideal moment. This is only the second time Geometric Interactive’s acclaimed debut title has seen a price reduction on Steam over the past four months. So, make sure to grab it before the sale concludes on December 4 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET.
Cocoon has now hit its lowest price point on Steam, surpassing its previous discount during the Steam Scream Fest, where it was offered at 40% off. Alongside Cocoon, a plethora of titles published by Annapurna Interactive are available at discounted rates throughout this sale, spanning genres from action-adventure to contemplative walking sims. During the sale, for instance, Stray—a post-apocalyptic adventure with a feline protagonist—is $17.99 with a 40% discount, while the puzzle game Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, fresh off its PlayStation release announcement, is listed at $18.74—a 25% discount.
As reported on Geometric Interactive’s website, the team behind Cocoon is already hard at work on their next project. Not much has been revealed yet, but a job listing hints at a “3D game” with Jeppe Carlsen once again taking the helm as game director. Given Carlsen’s proven track record, fans of Cocoon will definitely want to keep this upcoming release on their radar.
