Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a narrative adventure where you step into the shoes of Swann, a young woman whose life is fractured between the summer of 1995 and the present day.

The game is heavily choice-based, meaning your dialogue selections and actions directly shape relationships and steer the unfolding story, leading to a multitude of different endings.

This guide is your companion to navigating Swann's complex journey. We'll walk you through the main story across both Tapes 1 & 2, detail how to achieve the game's 49 achievements, and help you uncover all 16+ collectible memoirs scattered throughout the world. We'll also provide guidance on making crucial dialogue choices to influence relationships, including potential romance options, and ensure you understand the consequences of your decisions to reach the endings you desire.
