About this game

NETFLIX MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED.

Kid Cosmo needs your help! Blast through an '80s-inspired puzzle adventure game-within-a-game alongside boy wonder Chris and his big sister Michelle.

Wichita, Kansas — 1985: Go on a journey through the eyes of Chris, an intellectually gifted child, and his older sister Michelle as they navigate coming of age in the retro-futuristic world of "The Electric State." This narrative-driven game takes place before the events of the movie and spans five years, blending gameplay with emotional storytelling to create an immersive experience.

ALWAYS REMEMBER, KID COSMO'S YOUR PAL!

Experience "Kid Cosmo: Martian Marooner," a fully realized retro game on Chris's handheld console, the PX-1. Inspired by classic 1980s games, this top-down puzzle adventure features grid-based movement and creative problem-solving. Guide Kid Cosmo through each dungeon, using boosters like the Zoomerang and Jet Pack to overcome challenges and defeat robots.

BECOME PART OF THE STORY

Transition seamlessly between solving puzzles on the PX-1 and witnessing key moments in Chris and Michelle's lives. A reactive dialogue system pairs the characters' commentary with your gameplay in real time, drawing you into their sibling relationship.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR CONSOLE

Use your phone’s tilt and touch functions to interact with the PX-1 in different ways throughout the story. You might need to wipe dust from the screen, muffle the speaker to avoid detection, choose where to place a sticker or rush to a save point before the battery dies.

Ratings and reviews

A really good companion piece to the movie and book, and the outside scenes and backgrounds give a nice touch of the 'pre-war' experience. The game is played on a 3D model of a handheld game, with you pressing the buttons on the handheld to play the actual game. Somehow it works, and it wouldn't have the same impact if it was just a straight up game. Add in the spoken dialogue that you don't need to interact with to move on, and it's a really pure, nostalgic experience of playing with siblings.

Netflix has really done a way with this one. I love it. The little detail of turning it on, the actual hologram moving with your phone ANDDD the voice lines. AND NO ADS!! For once a game has no ads and you don't have to pay either. The attention to detail and graphics are on point. I would definitely recommend this if you are a fan of The Electric State like me.

Absolutely underrated movie, and game didn't disappoint either.. should get more recognition👏
