Netflix is set to launch an exciting new game tied to their upcoming sci-fi film, *The Electric State*. Titled *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, this puzzle game with a retro-futuristic twist is scheduled to release on March 18th, just four days after the movie premieres on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the film features stars like Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and unfolds in an alternate ’90s America filled with giant robots and a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip.

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

Contrary to what you might expect, *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* serves as a prequel to the film's narrative. It delves into the childhood of two pivotal characters, Chris and Michelle, through an innovative game-within-a-game format. Developed by BUCK Games in partnership with AGBO, this title promises more than just a simple movie tie-in.

BUCK Games, known for their acclaimed roguelite puzzle game *Let’s! Revolution!* on Steam, is bringing their expertise to *Kid Cosmo*. Players can anticipate a rich gaming experience, blending puzzle-solving with a narrative set in Wichita, Kansas, starting in 1985 and spanning five years. As you journey with Chris and Michelle, you'll engage in puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, yet infused with a nostalgic ’80s flair.

In *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, you’ll collect modules and repair Kid Cosmo’s ship while solving puzzles that gradually unveil the mysteries of this unique world. For a sneak peek, check out the official game trailer below.
