Netflix is set to launch an exciting tie-in game for their upcoming sci-fi film, The Electric State, titled The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This puzzle game, featuring a retro-futuristic twist, is scheduled for release on March 18th, just four days following the movie's debut on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the Russo brothers, the film boasts a star-studded cast including Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and takes audiences on a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate '90s America, filled with massive 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 film; it serves as a prequel, delving into the childhood of two pivotal characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in collaboration with AGBO, the game promises a unique 'game-within-a-game' experience. BUCK Games, known for their roguelite puzzle game Let's! Revolution! on Steam, brings their expertise to ensure engaging gameplay.

Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the game spans five years and offers players a deeper look into Chris and Michelle's journey before the events of the movie. Players will embark on puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, but with a distinct '80s flair. The gameplay involves collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo's ship, and solving puzzles that gradually reveal the mysteries of this peculiar world.
