Interactive Video narrative game, 2023, Xing Chen
Cocoonaverse is an online interactive video game that guides players through multiple narrative paths, leading to different possible endings. The name combines “cocoon” and “universe,” suggesting a self-contained digital world.

This project serves as a visual metaphor for the contemporary internet landscape. Through a surreal, extravagant, and highly ornamental aesthetic, it explores the concept of the echo chamber—a personalized, algorithm-driven space where individuals are wrapped in filtered content.

Cocoonaverse reveals the contrast between the internet’s dazzling surface and its underlying emptiness. It invites audiences to confront the seductive illusion of digital life and to question how isolation and distortion are often hidden beneath its glossy exterior.
