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 adventure. Dive into Tape 1 now, with Tape 2 launching free to all owners on April 15th.

Unveiled in 2023, the game follows a close group of friends shattered in the summer of 1995. Twenty-seven years later, the echoes of that summer return with unforeseen and chilling consequences.

Blending nostalgia with psychological thriller elements, the game draws inspiration from It, Yellowjackets, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The game is divided into two parts: Bloom and Rage. As of February 18th, only Bloom, the first half of this haunting story, is available.

"The Tape," the second part, arrives on April 15th. Initially planned for March, the release was delayed to ensure a refined experience.

The review embargo has lifted, with OpenCritic reporting an average score of 74/100—a strong start for this gripping mystery.
