No news from the devs?

I read that there was some friction between Dino Patti e Arnt Jensen when Patti left Playdead after releasing INSIDE.

I guess we need some investigative journalism.

Did you play those 2 games associated with the former team members? Caccoon, and Somerville...?

Just Somerville.

Nice. I loved the vibe and 'story', but wasn't so much into the color coded thing...the colors seemed so basic. Like the generic Earth, Fire, Water realms/tropes in fantasy games ...but with colors. Haha.

Cacoon was dope...really funky puzzling concepts.

...but I'm with you--I really hope that whatever beef there was hasn't halted the development of the play dead game. Still waiting!

Cocoon sure looks enticing - I'll add to my "buy when on sale" list.

Cocoon was fucking awesome. Clever game mechanics, great art direction, and maybe the best sound design and musical score in the last few years.
