Get ready, gamers and sci-fi enthusiasts! Netflix is set to launch a thrilling puzzle game, *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, tied to their upcoming sci-fi adventure movie, *The Electric State*. Mark your calendars for March 18th, as this game will hit just four days after the movie premieres on Netflix on March 14th.
Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the film stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, taking 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* isn't just a 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, this game promises a unique game-within-a-game experience.
BUCK Games, known for their critically acclaimed roguelite puzzle game *Let's! Revolution!* on Steam, brings their expertise to create engaging gameplay. *Kid Cosmo* transports players to Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, and unfolds over five years, providing a deeper understanding of Chris and Michelle's journey before the events of the film.
Players will embark on a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series but infused with a nostalgic '80s flair. The gameplay involves collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo's ship, and solving puzzles to uncover the mysteries of this strange, retro-futuristic world. Get a sneak peek at the excitement with the official game trailer below.
