The Electric State: Kid Cosmo (Netflix)

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo (Netflix) is an engaging puzzle adventure set in the retro-futuristic world of Wichita, Kansas in 1985. The game invites you to join Chris, a young prodigy, and his older sister Michelle as they navigate life’s challenges through a blend of interactive storytelling and gameplay. This narrative-driven experience unfolds over five years, providing a deeply immersive journey that takes place before the events of the associated movie.

You will explore a unique 'game-within-a-game' concept through Chris's handheld PX-1 console, where you help Kid Cosmo, the main character in 'Kid Cosmo: Martian Marooner,' succeed in a top-down, grid-based puzzle adventure. Inspired by iconic 1980s games, it features creative problem-solving with innovative tools like the Zoomerang and Jet Pack that allow you to solve dungeons and outsmart robotic enemies. The retro aesthetic and nostalgic gameplay are complemented by a reactive dialogue system, creating an interactive storytelling atmosphere that immerses you in Chris and Michelle's sibling dynamics.

The game also incorporates interactive mechanics using your device’s features, such as tilting or touching the screen. Whether you are cleaning dust off the virtual console, navigating to a save point before the battery depletes, or customizing the PX-1 with stickers, these elements deepen your connection to the story and gameplay.

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo (Netflix) delivers a unique blend of puzzles, storytelling, and nostalgia, offering a distinctive, emotionally resonant gaming experience worth exploring.
