“Kid cosmo is your friend”

Loved the follow up to the movie

I love this so much

I love that we got a backstory for Chris and Michelle through this game, and all the little details like the lighting on the PX-1 and covering the speaker to silence the audio were so cool. I also enjoyed the soundtrack a LOT (I absolutely love music). I’m so glad that a game was actually made for The Electric State. The movie deserves more appreciation than it gets in my opinion.

A show within a game, within a game - very meta

Loved the nostalgic almost GameBoy classic/color feel to the gameplay. The story telling that was happening while playing through Kid Cosmo added a ton of depth. Kind of wanted to be able to slip through the story, but was glad I didn’t and couldn’t.
