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

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

"The Electric State: Kid Cosmo" isn't just a game—it's a prequel that dives into the childhoods of two central characters, Chris and Michelle, through an engaging game-within-a-game experience. Developed by BUCK Games in partnership with AGBO, the same team behind the acclaimed roguelite puzzle game "Let's! Revolution!" on Steam, players can expect robust and captivating gameplay.

Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, "Kid Cosmo" will guide players through a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, but with a distinct '80s flair. Over five years, you'll explore Chris and Michelle's early journey, collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo's ship, and solving puzzles that reveal the mysteries of their unique world. Get a sneak peek of the game in the trailer below.

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo Follows Netflix's Trend of Spin-Offs
