Played slowly over three days - one for msq up to dungeon, one for dungeon/post, one for trial/post.

( despite the patch mostly being in S9, I avoided a headache )

Game: Lost Records: Bloom & Rage [Tape 1]
Dates played: 24/03/25 - 29/03/25


Thoughts as I went, or retrospectively after scenes ended. Lost Records is a spiritual successor to Life is Strange by those that made it at Don't Nod, and follows the story of four girls in the summer of 1995; a time which they have all collectively forgotten, but twenty seven years later, they must now remember.

The second tape - or the second half of the game - is releasing in mid April, though I likely won't play for a couple of weeks so some guides can go up. (There is a decent bit of weirdness Tape 1 sets up for that I anticipate to be amped up greatly on Tape 2 and I need to be able to skim a guide in case anything is borderline comfort zone).

I played this a couple of hours at a time and sometimes in the mornings after my body woke me up after 3-4 hours of sleep. Hopefully it stops doing that soon. I'll attempt doing some MSQ in XIV if it continues.
