#gaming lovely palate cleanser between Bond and the upcoming Resynced jaunt 🏴‍☠️ Lost Records: Bloom & Rage was a 👌🏻 narrative story that I enjoyed a lot - a few small notes but still tears in my eyes by the end. Games like this still being made reinforces my hope that it's not all basic AI slop yet 🤞🏻

We finished it, and now I'm sad 🥲 Lost Records was so good and it really twisted the knife in my heart. 10/10, would be destroyed again We needed a pick-me-up after that, so we raided out to @vee-kitzora.bsky.social for some Pokemon Champions! Thanks to everyone who joined 💜

Lost Records: Bloom and Rage is phenomenal. It's like a sad lesbian Stand By Me for the 90s. It's by Don't Nod, who did Life is Strange. If you loved that, you'll be RUINED by this. I'm just a puddle of emotions rn. Still n-b, but this game's gonna crack a few eggs 😉 Also: songs by Ruth Radelet!!

After taking waaay too long to finish Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, I am finally through. The game did what few games could: It made me scream at the game in anticipation and emotion. Not Dark Souls fight emotion, but story emotion. Well done. Beautiful. My choices sucked though, everyone left me.

Had a wonderful chat with Don't Nod MTL's @michelkoch.bsky.social and @lucbaghadoust.bsky.social about Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, a game I adored & think deserved more recognition! We talked about their 1-year anniversary, refreshing approach to nostalgia, Canadian Game Awards nominations & more.

Finally playing Lost Records: Bloom and Rage (which I pre-ordered and then proceded not to play for a year) and I need Don't Nod to make little, gay, narrative-adventure games forever (Especially because I suspect Square-Enix/Deck Nine are done with Life is Strange)
