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

Netflix is set to launch an exciting tie-in game for their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, *The Electric State*. Titled *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, this puzzle game with a retro-futuristic twist will be released on March 18th, just four days after the film premieres on Netflix. Directed by the Russo brothers, the movie features stars like Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and follows a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate ’90s America, complete with massive robots.

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

*The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* isn't just a direct adaptation of the film's plot; it's actually a prequel. The game delves into the childhood of two central characters, Chris and Michelle, through an innovative game-within-a-game format. Developed by BUCK Games in collaboration with AGBO, the same team behind the acclaimed roguelite puzzle game *Let's! Revolution!* on Steam, fans can expect engaging and solid gameplay.

Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, *Kid Cosmo* offers a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the *WarioWare* series but with a distinct ’80s flair. The narrative spans five years, providing a deeper understanding of Chris and Michelle’s journey before the movie’s events. Players will be tasked with collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo’s ship, and solving puzzles that gradually reveal the mysteries of this unique world. Take a look at the official game trailer below.
