Netflix is set to captivate fans with a new movie tie-in game for their upcoming sci-fi adventure, *The Electric State*. Scheduled for release on March 18th, *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* is a puzzle game with a retro-futuristic twist, debuting just four days after the film premieres on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the Russo brothers, the film boasts a stellar cast including Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and follows a post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate '90s America, complete with massive robots.
It’s Not Going to be a Simple Adaptation of the Movie
*The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* isn't just a direct adaptation of the movie; it's a prequel that delves into the childhood of key characters Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in collaboration with AGBO, the game offers a game-within-a-game experience. BUCK Games, known for their roguelite puzzle game *Let’s! Revolution!* on Steam, promises a solid gameplay experience for *Kid Cosmo*.
Players will navigate through puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, but with a distinct '80s flair. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the narrative spans five years, providing an in-depth look at Chris and Michelle’s journey before the events depicted in the film. The gameplay involves collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo's ship, and solving puzzles that unveil the secrets of this unique world.
