Netflix is set to launch an exciting new game tied to their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, *The Electric State*. The game, titled *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, will be released on March 18th, just four days after the film premieres on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the renowned Russo brothers, the movie 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 Not Going to be a Simple Adaptation of the Movie
*The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* isn't just a straightforward adaptation of the movie; it's a prequel that delves into the childhoods of two main characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in collaboration with AGBO, this game promises a unique experience. BUCK Games, known for their acclaimed roguelite puzzle game *Let's! Revolution!* on Steam, brings their expertise to this project, ensuring solid gameplay.
The game takes the form of a puzzle adventure with a retro-futuristic twist, reminiscent of the WarioWare series but infused with an '80s vibe. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the narrative spans five years, offering a deep dive into Chris and Michelle's early lives. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and solve puzzles to uncover the mysteries of this intriguing world. Check out the official trailer for a sneak peek:
