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 with a retro-futuristic twist is scheduled to release on March 18th, just four days after the film premieres on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the movie stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt and features a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate '90s America, complete 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. Instead, it serves as a prequel, delving into the childhood of two central characters, Chris and Michelle, through an innovative game-within-a-game experience. Developed by BUCK Games in collaboration with AGBO, the same team behind the popular roguelite puzzle game *Let’s! Revolution!* on Steam, *Kid Cosmo* promises robust gameplay.
Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the game spans five years and offers a deeper look into Chris and Michelle's journey before the events of the movie. Players will navigate through a series of 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 secrets of this enigmatic world.
