Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1

The first part of Lost Records: Bloom and Rage won us over thanks to its careful artistic direction, its remarkable writing quality and its endearing characters. The skilful staging of the dual temporality brilliantly mixes a very successful nostalgic atmosphere of the 90s with an immersive narration carried by a classic but effective gameplay. The music perfectly exacerbates the atmosphere and gives the title a strong and captivating identity that reinforces its emotional impact. However, a few shadows darken this picture, such as the sometimes excessive use of the camcorder which breaks the rhythm and can get redundant after some time, the scenario which struggles to get going, and a notable drop in framerates. In addition, we would have liked more enigmas. Despite these negative points, we cannot wait to find out more.
