Netflix is set to enhance its gaming library with a thrilling new addition, a puzzle game inspired by their upcoming sci-fi movie, The Electric State. Titled "The Electric State: Kid Cosmo," this game is slated for release on March 18th, just four days following the movie's debut on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the film stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, taking audiences on a post-apocalyptic road trip through an alternate '90s America filled with colossal robots.
It’s Not Going to be a Simple Adaptation of the Movie
"The Electric State: Kid Cosmo" isn't merely a retelling of the movie's plot. Instead, it serves as a prequel, delving into the childhood of two pivotal characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in partnership with AGBO, the game introduces a game-within-a-game concept. BUCK Games, known for their successful roguelite puzzle game Let's! Revolution! on Steam, promises a robust gaming experience.
In "Kid Cosmo," players will navigate through puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, but with a distinctive '80s aesthetic. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the narrative spans five years, offering a profound exploration of Chris and Michelle's early journey. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo’s ship, and solve puzzles that gradually reveal the mysteries of this intriguing world. For a sneak peek, check out the trailer below.
