"Netflix Cancels 'The Electric State: Kid Cosmo' Prequel Game"

Get ready for an exciting new addition to Netflix's gaming lineup with the upcoming release of The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a puzzle game that ties into the much-anticipated sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. Set to launch on March 18th, just four days after the movie premieres on Netflix, this game promises a unique retro-futuristic experience. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the film stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt and is set in an alternate '90s America, filled with massive robots and a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip.

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

Far from being a mere adaptation, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo serves as a prequel, delving into the childhood of the film's 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 successful title Let’s! Revolution!, a roguelite puzzle game on Steam, ensures a robust gameplay experience.

Kid Cosmo will immerse players in a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, but with a distinct '80s flair. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the game spans five years, providing a deeper insight into Chris and Michelle's journey before the events of the movie. Players will engage in collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo’s ship, and solving puzzles that gradually unveil the secrets of this intriguing world.
