Those nineties vibes are strong in the latest Lost Records: Bloom & Rage gameplay trailer, with Don’t Nod revealing not one buttwonew release dates.

On top of the loud cardigans, statement chokers, and grungy garage band vibes that already scream 1995, the new Lost Records: Bloom & Rage trailer gives us a closer look at how protagonist Swann’s camcorder frames her experience across the game’s two timelines. We also get a closer look at the dynamic dialogue trees, which “can change based on where you look and what you say,” according to a press release from Don’t Nod. “Players can choose to ignore and interrupt other characters, which makes conversations feel more real and choices more important than ever.”

That news already has my choice-driven hopes and dreams all abuzz, but I’m also intrigued by Don’t Nod’s decision to launch the game across two dates – including a physical edition for PS5. This episodic release riffing of the time-honoured tradition of mixtapes has me already looking forward to a truly agonizing cliff-hanger at the end of Tape 1, because what’s a narrative gamewithouta horrendous decision to be made that has me lying awake at night feeling like an awful human being?
