Netflix is set to captivate audiences with a new movie tie-in game for their upcoming sci-fi adventure, "The Electric State." Titled "The Electric State: Kid Cosmo," this puzzle game will feature a retro-futuristic twist and is slated for release on March 18th, just four days after the film premieres on Netflix. Directed by the Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, the movie, set to release on March 14th, embarks on a 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 merely an extension of the film's narrative; it's a prequel that delves into the childhood of two pivotal characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in collaboration with AGBO, this game offers a game-within-a-game experience. BUCK Games, known for their acclaimed roguelite puzzle game "Let’s! Revolution!" on Steam, promises engaging gameplay. "Kid Cosmo" will transport players through a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, yet with a distinct '80s flair. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the story spans five years, providing a rich backdrop to Chris and Michelle’s early journey. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and solve puzzles that reveal the mysteries of this intriguing world. For a sneak peek, check out the trailer below.
