Biopunk yuri game Argent Cocoon is set in a post-human world inhabited by matriarchal insect ladies. Steam demo out now
A new title by Chinese indie developer White Iris Studio.
Chinese indie developer White Iris Studio has released a Steam demo for its upcoming sci-fi yuri adventure game, Argent Cocoon. The full game is set to launch sometime in 2027, with full English support.
Argent Cocoon’s story takes place after the fall of humanity, in a world now inhabited by a matriarchal insect-like humanoid race called the Insecta. Through the titular “Argent Cocoon,” the Insecta rewrite their own genes to evolve into new forms of life. In their society, evolution is the unquestioned law.
You play as Actias, a rare breed of Insecta known as a Eularva. Due to her gift, Actias is destined to enter the Argent Cocoon, surrender her soul to the Great Collective Consciousness, and become one with her kind. The game begins seven months before she is due to Evolve.
Throughout the seven months, Actias interacts with others and the world around her as she traverses a rainforest. The more she finds out, the more she begins to question her destiny.
Gameplay revolves around interacting with the environment by collecting items and key evidence, some of which uncover secrets about the world and the Argent Cocoon. Other discoveries unlock character bonds and branching narratives, some of which are tied to the game’s four romanceable characters.
Each of the romanceable characters has their own unique stories, and their affinity for you changes depending on your choices (your decisions also affect which ending you get). If you’re not feeling particularly romantic, the game also lets you play through the story alone.
It’s worth noting that Argent Cocoon features full English voice acting and language support for English and Simplified Chinese.
Argent Cocoon is set to release in 2027 for Windows, macOS, SteamOS, and Linux (Steam). A free demo is available.
