The Electric State: Kid Cosmo
An '80s-inspired puzzle adventure, played on a handheld that tells its own story.
Kid Cosmo needs your help. Go on an ’80s-inspired journey through the eyes of Chris and his older sister Michelle as they navigate coming of age in the retro-futuristic world of the Netflix film “The Electric State”.
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.
Transition seamlessly between solving puzzles on the PX-1 and witnessing key moments in Chris and Michelle’s lives. This narrative-driven game takes place before the events of the movie and spans five years.
Available on iOS and Android exclusively to Netflix members.

Soundtrack
Composed by Antfood
Antfood scored both halves of the game. The PX-1's soundtrack is written as though it shipped with a handheld console in 1985 — 8-bit timbres handled with modern technique — while the Kansas scenes around it are built from carefully chosen real-world detail, down to the right wind for the season. Every biome has its own score, assembled modularly so it keeps rearranging itself rather than looping, and Chris and Michelle react aloud as you play.
