This episode of EXTRA is a particularly special one, as our guest today is none other than our very own Rachel Watts!
Rachel has spent the last 12 months writing a book all about COCOON, the 2023 puzzle game developed by Geometric Interactive. The book chronicles the development of the game, including its puzzle design, world-building, and soundscapes. Featuring exclusive interviews with its creators, this stunning tome is available for pre-order RIGHT NOW via the Lost In Cult website. In the episode, Rachel reveals what it was like to undertake a project of this scale, as well as providing some teasers of what you can expect when the book is released next year.
Of course, this wouldn't be an EXTRA episode hosted by Liam if it didn't dive into Rachel's past a little bit, too. Listen to find out about the early days of Rachel's career in journalism, an incredible anecdote about her time studying film at university, and an absolute gem about her brief stint at Card Factory.
