    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.

    The way it layers plot and characters around playing the made-up handheld – which at one point you have to repair when it breaks – works beautifully, the physicality of the handheld brilliantly realised on your phone screen, even if the simulated Kid Cosmo game itself is only okay.
