Netflix is set to launch an exciting new movie tie-in game, *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, to coincide with their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, *The Electric State*. Scheduled for release on March 18th, just four days after the movie premieres on Netflix, this puzzle game will introduce players to a retro-futuristic world. The film, helmed by the Russo brothers, stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and follows a post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate '90s America filled with massive robots. It's slated for release on March 14th.
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. 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, brings their expertise to this new title.
In *Kid Cosmo*, players will embark on a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the *WarioWare* series, but with a distinct '80s flair. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the game spans five years, offering a deeper look into Chris and Michelle's journey before the events of the movie. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and solve puzzles that gradually reveal the secrets of this intriguing world.
