Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

I've personally never played Life is Strange so this is sort of an introduction to that kind of gaming style. Yet however this game feels somewhat nostalgic, with Spooky elements. The characters are full of depth which makes this game stand out to me. The devs really put hard effort into this game. It feels like a special baby they've produced here.

The main characters comes off as a shy girl who eventually blossoms once she becomes friends with a group of girls which feels relatable because there are such people out there who have too much social anxiety to blend with other people. I used to be like that so I could immediately relate to her. This game is like a puzzle as the characters are trying to Piece their faded memories together, creating enough suspense to grip you to the story. You the player have a choice of how the story very much progresses much like until dawn. Unlike until dawn which can be stressful this game feels comforting as no choice feels like a "right" choice. You can lay back and let the story flow however you choose.

The character interactions feel realistic enough to make you feel comforted as if you're actually part of their group rather than the person with a controller, commanding them how to interact. You feel almost like the big brother chief seeing how they interact and learning about them without them being aware you're watching them. Feels creepy the way I stated that🤨. To my surprise there were puzzles in this game and you'd get occasional interactions just by finding stuff around you. Although the puzzles weren't difficult or didn't bring anything new to the table, it didn't really make me hate the game or make me want it to end.

You can take pictures with the main girl's camera and record stuff for her diary but also discover secrets which kinda brought me back to Infamous Second son. When you'd film stuff. And I like that sometimes the filming aspect was important for a certain part of the story. It makes me feel nostalgic for older games like Fatal Frame because when you play it back whatever you filmed it shows up in poor quality as if you're like in the older decades. The camera itself even has a flash which again FEELS LIKE A CALL BACK TO FATAL FRAME speaking of which where are the Fatal Frame remakes? Deadass🙄

The graphics are great, the game and character designs look pretty real can even be mistaken for a CGI movie. Sometimes you can look at the flaws in graphics however if there is fast movement but that is rare. The facial expressions tho remain unaffected. Overall decent game and I'm looking forward to the free update in April.

A bit of boring and characters are especially MC is so weird. I know this is the thing but I am yalking about the voice and the design

This was so bad writing...
I was kinda excited at the beginning, but it was getting worst and worst and lame and so cringe...
Skip it if you can.
Life is Strange was so much better.

Kinda good, enjoyed it but the dialogue were hard to listen to sometimes lol

Really not entertaining. Scenery beautiful, the 90s made it. Hopeful after the ending and what the 2nd part have to offer though

I finished part 1, and what a sublime game! I lost track of time playing—such an amazing art, music, and theme. I can’t wait for part 2!
