Netflix Cancels Electric State Prequel Game: Kid Cosmo

Netflix is set to launch an exciting new game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, tied to their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. This puzzle game, featuring a retro-futuristic twist, is slated for release on March 18th, just four days following the movie's premiere on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the film boasts a stellar cast including Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and showcases a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip through an alternate '90s America filled with massive robots.

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

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo isn't merely a direct adaptation of the film. Instead, it serves as a prequel that dives into the childhood adventures of two pivotal characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in partnership with AGBO, this game promises a unique game-within-a-game experience. BUCK Games, known for their critically acclaimed roguelite puzzle game Let's! Revolution! on Steam, brings their expertise to ensure a robust gaming experience.

Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, Kid Cosmo offers players a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, but with an unmistakable '80s flair. The storyline spans five years, providing a deeper understanding of Chris and Michelle's journey leading up to the events depicted in the movie. Players will engage in collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo's ship, and solving puzzles that unveil the mysteries of this intriguing world. Get a sneak peek of the game with the trailer below.
