Netflix is set to launch an exciting new movie tie-in game for their upcoming sci-fi adventure, "The Electric State." This game, titled "The Electric State: Kid Cosmo," introduces a puzzle game experience with a retro-futuristic twist. Scheduled for release on March 18th, it follows just four days after the film premieres on Netflix.

Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the movie stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt. Set for release on March 14th, "The Electric State" takes viewers on a post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate '90s America, filled with massive robots and gripping action.

It's Not Going to be a Simple Adaptation of the Movie

"The Electric State: Kid Cosmo" is not just a simple adaptation; it's a prequel to the movie's storyline. Developed by BUCK Games in collaboration with AGBO, this game delves into the childhood of two pivotal characters, Chris and Michelle, through a unique game-within-a-game experience. BUCK Games, known for the popular roguelite puzzle game "Let's! Revolution!" on Steam, promises a solid gameplay experience.

Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, "Kid Cosmo" spans five years, offering a deep dive into Chris and Michelle's early adventures. 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 unveil the secrets of this enigmatic world.
