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

Author : Hannah Mar 21,2025

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 for all purchasers on April 15th.

Initially unveiled in 2023, the game unravels the mystery surrounding a close group of friends inexplicably separated during the summer of 1995. Twenty-seven years later, the echoes of that summer return, unleashing unforeseen and chilling consequences.

Blending nostalgic charm with the intensity of a psychological thriller, the game draws inspiration from classics 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 tale, is available (February 18th).

The Tape (part two) will arrive on April 15th. Initially planned for a March release, the launch was delayed to ensure a refined experience.

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