Lost Records: Bloom & Rage review

Recommended

by Danphone

This was a well told and passionate game about coming of age and identity. I think they really captured that 90s feel in a way that didn't come off as cringe. I really liked the underlying creepy plotline but they spend a bit too much time in the weeds on the build up. There was clear inspiration from stuff like Yellowjackets and fairy folklore. I think all the characters are well written and acted for the most part. The VA for Swann does such a good job at her being an anxious, introverted character finally trying to come out of her shell. There is still a second part coming so I really hope they nail their wrap up.

Part 2:
I thought the game wrapped up good storywise but seems a lot of people had the same experience I did with everyone leaving the bar despite having a good relationship with them. There were also so inconsistencies with the story that didn't make sense. Overall it was enjoyable and worth playing.
