A few motifs we had in our heads while making 1. Reflecting the game's beetly, iridescent colours. 2. "Cocooning" the book in a slipcase/box (first time we've had a really nice slipcase AND a really solid box for one of our DW books). 3. Circles/spheres/holes (hard to do with rectangular books!).

Bit of a peek behind the scenes here: our Lead Designer Nikki (who designed Heterotopias for print + Immortality: DW) worked hard on the incredible cover design which pulls from the game's Ancestors/bosses, as well as several shapes and textures from the game's architectures and environments.

There's two editions: Standard & Deluxe - they're both hardbacks using the same "book block". Difference is in the cover material - the Standard is a lovely Slate Grey colour while the Deluxe uses a shimmery, slightly-pearlescent Marble White paper stock. Both debossed w/ holographic foils details.

We launched Cocoon: Design Works last week & I wanted to highlight a few things, as it's been one of my fav projects to work on! Firstly, shout out to the author @rachelwatts.bsky.social who has done an incredible job compiling hours of interviews & had already written the entire book before launch!

Hey, we're working on a new book: You're Not Overthinking It by Jacob Geller! This is Lost in Cult's first real sequel project, outside of [lock-on], so I'm very excited to get to work on this and produce a lovely second instalment - both books next to one another, as a pair, is gonna look sick 🔥

Harper Collins are publishing a new Retail Edition of @jacobgeller.com's "How A Game Lives" in November (you can pre-order now on most book sites). Happy we can offer such an edition, as it should be much more accessible/cheaper & widely/globally available - walk into a shop/pick-up on Amazon etc.!

Absolutely beautiful new physical game launch. We've been desperate to do something with NORCO and @geographyofrobots.bsky.social since 2022 😁 A true cult classic!

Big viny launch tomorrow (6PM BST, tune in) which I'm very excited about!
Great 2023 soundtrack. Have a phenomenal artist doing the cover and interiors. Using a nice paper called "Biscuit" for the inner sleeves... any more clues and I'll probably get in trouble.

Last call on our big Legacy of Kain project - less than 6 hours left to pick up the Official "Book of Nosgoth" Encyclopedia & the "Scourge of the Sarafan" tabletop RPG! 🩸 bit.ly/LoKTTRPG

Recommend the bizarre lore book, "God Husk", illustrated by Plastiboo. Archaic vessels drag themselves out of a crumbling birthing chamber to explore a rusty, decaying scrapyard of a world, switching limbs and mutating themselves as they go. Full of bio-mechanical body horror - think Giger & Scorn.

Our design team + La Boca did such an incredible job with our new, upcoming Design Works book. What a psychedelic treat. A vivid neon feast. A kaleidoscopic delicacy. I know @gaminginthewild.bsky.social has already written something special too - can't wait!
