Netflix is set to launch an engaging puzzle game titled The Electric State: Kid Cosmo to complement their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. Scheduled for release on March 18th, just days after the movie's debut on March 14th, this game promises a retro-futuristic experience. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the film stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt and features a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate '90s 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 retelling of the movie; it's a prequel that dives into the childhood of two pivotal characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in partnership with AGBO, the game offers 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 create a compelling gameplay experience.

Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, Kid Cosmo spans five years and follows Chris and Michelle's journey leading up to the movie. Players will embark on puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series but infused with an '80s aesthetic. The gameplay involves collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo’s ship, and solving puzzles to uncover the secrets of this enigmatic world.
