Don’t Nod Releases Lo-Fi ‘Lost Records: Bloom & Rage’ Trailer
by Sage Ashford
Developer Don’t Nod has released a new trailer for their upcoming narrative adventure game, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. Entitled “Lo-Fi Summer”, the trailer provides the chill vibes of a lo-fi YouTube stream while giving glimpses of the game’s main setting, the small town of Velvet Cove. The trailer also offers a brief introduction to Swann, the protagonist of Lost Records who’s spending her last summer in Velvet Cove.
Don’t Not offers more information:
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a narrative adventure game set in the fictional town of Velvet Cove in the summer of 1995. Four high school friends – Swann, Nora, Autumn, and Kat – spend the summer together hanging out, playing music, and becoming best friends… until something changes the trajectory of all of their lives. After 27 years of silence between them, they reunite to confront the dark secrets that made them promise to never speak again.
Obviously, Lost Records is radiating massive Life is Strange vibes, with Don’t Nod attempting to make this into a spiritual successor to the LiS franchise. Though it can be hard to do spiritual successors, Life is Strange offers a unique space in gaming (narrative adventure games with high production values) that could easily do with a few contenders.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Steam in late 2024.
