Get the tissues ready. The second and final installment of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage dropped on April 15, bringing Don’t Nod’s heartfelt narrative adventure to a powerful conclusion.

Tape 2 deepens the already emotional tale of Swann, Nora, Autumn, and Kat—four teens reunited after years apart to confront secrets that never stayed buried. Where Tape 1 laid the foundation, Tape 2 pulls at the threads of memory, trauma, and personal growth, leading to multiple possible endings that reflect the player’s choices throughout.

The game’s visual storytelling remains one of its strongest elements. Sun-drenched forests, abandoned schools, and intimate flashbacks bring the world of the game to life. Its cinematography and character animations are grounded and expressive, giving weight to even the quietest moments.

Each ending feels satisfying and earned. Whether your group reconnects or walks separate paths, the journey feels personal and bittersweet. Themes of forgiveness, identity, and the complexity of female friendships are explored with nuance and heart.

With accessibility features, branching dialogue, and a runtime of around 10–12 hours for the full story, Lost Records is one of the most accessible and emotionally rewarding indie experiences this year.
