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

Netflix is set to enhance its gaming portfolio with a new movie tie-in game for their upcoming sci-fi adventure, *The Electric State*. This game, titled *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, will be a puzzle game with a retro-futuristic twist. Scheduled for release on March 18th, it follows just four days after the film's premiere on Netflix.

Directed by the renowned Russo brothers, *The Electric State* features Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, with the film hitting the streaming service on March 14th. The movie is set in an alternate version of the '90s America, where a post-apocalyptic road trip is enlivened by the presence of massive robots.

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

Contrary to being a straightforward movie adaptation, *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* serves as a prequel, delving into the childhood of two central characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in collaboration with AGBO, the game introduces a unique game-within-a-game concept. BUCK Games, known for their acclaimed roguelite puzzle game *Let’s! Revolution!* on Steam, promises solid gameplay for this new release.

Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, *Kid Cosmo* guides players through a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the *WarioWare* series, yet infused with a distinct '80s aesthetic. Over five years, the story unfolds, offering an in-depth look at Chris and Michelle’s journey before the movie's timeline. Players will engage in collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo’s ship, and solving puzzles to uncover the mysteries of the game’s unique world.

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

Netflix continues to expand its gaming offerings, particularly through interactive spin-offs. Titles like *Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales*, *Too Hot to Handle Series*, *Money Heist: Ultimate Choice*, and *Squid Game: Unleashed* have contributed to a growing catalogue. If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can explore their gaming roster on the Google Play Store.
