The wait is over—Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, from the creators of Life is Strange, has arrived

Don't Nod, the French studio behind the acclaimed Life is Strange series, has released the first chapter of their new narrative-driven adventure. Dive into Tape 1 now, with Tape 2 launching free for all owners on April 15th.

Unveiled in 2023, the game plunges players into the lives of close friends irrevocably fractured during a fateful summer in 1995. Twenty-seven years later, the echoes of that summer resurface, unleashing unforeseen and chilling consequences.

Blending nostalgic charm with the thrills of a psychological thriller, the game draws inspiration from iconic works like It, Yellowjackets, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The narrative is cleverly divided into two parts: Bloom and Rage. Currently, only Bloom, the first half of this haunting mystery, is available (February 18th).

The Tape, the second part, originally scheduled for March, will now arrive on April 15th. This delay allows the team to deliver a refined and polished experience.

The review embargo has lifted, and OpenCritic currently reports an average score of 74/100, a promising start for this gripping mystery.
