Netflix is set to launch a captivating puzzle game tied to their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, *The Electric State*. Named *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, this game is slated for release on March 18th, just four days following the film's debut on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the renowned Russo brothers, the movie features stars like Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, set in an alternate '90s America filled with massive robots and a post-apocalyptic road trip.
It’s Not Going to be a Simple Adaptation of the Movie
*The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* isn't just another movie tie-in; it's a prequel that dives 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 acclaimed roguelite puzzle game *Let's! Revolution!* on Steam, is expected to bring solid gameplay to this new title.
In *Kid Cosmo*, players will navigate through a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the *WarioWare* series, but with a distinctive '80s flair. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the game unfolds over five years, providing a deeper insight into Chris and Michelle's journey before the film's events. Players will engage in collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo's ship, and solving puzzles that gradually reveal the mysteries of this intriguing retro-futuristic world.
