Geometric Interactive

Geometric Interactive is an independent video game development studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 2016 by Jeppe Carlsen and Jakob Schmid, it creates original games for PC and consoles, bringing together game design, programming, visual art and audio production.

The founders brought experience from Playdead and independent game development. Carlsen was lead gameplay designer on Limbo and Inside, while Schmid’s background combines programming and composition. Their studio’s creative approach emphasizes mechanical elegance, intuitive spatial gameplay and atmospheric worldbuilding, with sound developed in close connection with the interactive experience.

Worlds within worlds

The studio released its debut game, COCOON, in September 2023 through publisher Annapurna Interactive. Its central idea places nested worlds inside portable spheres, turning movement between those worlds into the foundation of its puzzles. Recursive spatial design, minimalist 3D environments and biomechanical creatures give the adventure its distinctive visual and mechanical character.

The game also reflects the studio’s interest in dialogue-free environmental storytelling and integrated dynamic audio. Rather than relying on spoken exposition, its environments, interactions and soundscapes communicate the experience. COCOON was released across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, reaching a global audience through digital consumer platforms.

Original game development

Geometric Interactive’s capabilities span full-cycle game design and development, including 3D character and environment modeling, original composition, sound design and audio engine integration. These disciplines support its focus on proprietary games built around distinctive gameplay concepts.

Following COCOON, the studio moved into production on another original project, working under the title Caretaker. The project is described as a third-person 3D action-puzzle adventure combining turn-based combat with real-time environmental puzzle solving and manipulation. It continues the company’s interest in connecting spatial interaction with a clearly defined central game mechanic.
