Netflix is set to launch an exciting new game tied to their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. Titled *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, this puzzle game will hit the screens on March 18th, just four days after the film's premiere on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, the movie takes viewers on a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip through an alternate 1990s America, complete with towering robots.
It’s Not Going to be a Simple Adaptation of the Movie
*The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* isn't just a straightforward adaptation of the movie. Instead, it serves as a prequel, delving into the childhoods of two central characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in partnership with AGBO, this game promises a unique game-within-a-game experience. BUCK Games, known for their work on the roguelite puzzle game *Let's! Revolution!* on Steam, brings their expertise to ensure a compelling gameplay experience.
Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, *Kid Cosmo* takes players on a journey through a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, but with a nostalgic '80s twist. Over five years, the game unfolds the early lives of Chris and Michelle, offering insights into their world before the movie's events. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and solve puzzles that reveal the secrets of this enigmatic universe. For a sneak peek, check out the official game trailer below.
