Netflix is set to launch a movie tie-in game titled *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, coinciding with their upcoming sci-fi adventure, *The Electric State*. This puzzle game with a retro-futuristic twist is slated for release on March 18th, just four days after the film premieres on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the Russo brothers, the movie stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt and features 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 another movie adaptation; it's a prequel that delves into the childhood of two central 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 successful roguelite puzzle game *Let’s! Revolution!* on Steam, brings their expertise to ensure engaging gameplay.
Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, *Kid Cosmo* takes players on a nostalgic journey through puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, but infused with an ’80s aesthetic. Over five years, the game explores Chris and Michelle's early life, offering a deeper understanding of their journey before the film's events. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo’s ship, and solve puzzles that reveal the mysteries of this intriguing world. Get a sneak peek of the game in the trailer below.
