What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Conan and the other children investigate dangers inside Cocoon while the circumstances surrounding Noah's Ark and Hiroki Sawada create a parallel mystery outside the simulation.
One of Cocoon's scenarios places the young players in a digitally rendered 1888 London shaped by Sherlock Holmes mythology.
Noah's Ark modifies Cocoon so that fifty children must produce a survivor or all participants die in the real world.
The narrative invokes Holmes, Baker Street, and Victorian London while centering on A.I., virtual reality, and digital control.
