Netflix is expanding its entertainment universe with a movie tie-in game tied to its upcoming sci-fi adventure, *The Electric State*. The new title, *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, is set to launch on March 18th—just four days after the film debuts on the platform. This puzzle-based game brings a retro-futuristic aesthetic and serves as a unique companion to the movie experience.
Directed by the Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, *The Electric State* is scheduled for release on March 14th. The film takes place in an alternate version of 1990s America, following a post-apocalyptic road trip filled with massive robots, emotional stakes, and high-octane visuals. Now, with the arrival of *Kid Cosmo*, fans will get a deeper look into the world before the movie even begins.
It’s Not Just a Movie Adaptation
*The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* isn’t a direct adaptation—it’s a prequel exploring the childhood of two central characters, Chris and Michelle. The game introduces a game-within-a-game concept, offering players a nostalgic and immersive experience that mirrors their early bond and adventures.
Developed by BUCK Games in partnership with AGBO, this title comes from a team known for crafting engaging experiences. BUCK Games previously developed *Let’s! Revolution!*, a popular roguelite puzzle title on Steam, so expectations are high for solid mechanics and enjoyable gameplay.
What to Expect From *Kid Cosmo*
The game follows a puzzle-adventure format, somewhat reminiscent of the *WarioWare* series but infused with a strong ’80s vibe. Set in Wichita, Kansas in 1985, it spans five years of Chris and Michelle’s formative years. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo’s ship, and solve puzzles that slowly reveal the mysteries of this strange, evolving world.
