Lost Records Bloom & Rage Walkthrough – All Dialogue Choices, Puzzles & Ending

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a new story from the creators of the award-winning Life is Strange series. This slice-of-life mystery adventure takes players on an emotional rollercoaster from a blissful childhood summer in 1995 to an uncertain future filled with foreboding consequences over two decades later. Our Lost Records full walkthrough will guide you through the secrets and tough decisions found in all chapters of the game.

Full Walkthrough for Lost Records - All Chapters in Tape 1 Bloom

Similar to the game mechanics in Life is Strange and its sequel Double Exposure, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage takes players through narrative sections full of personal choices, big and small, that can impact future events in different ways. Some will be more consequential than others.

Rather than chapters, the developers of the Lost Records have divided the story into two Tapes. The first is titled Bloom, while the second is titled Rage. In the following walkthrough for each section of each Tape, we've provided a concise and sequential guide for all objectives, puzzles, collectibles, achievements, and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage best dialogue choices (including possible consequences).

Also, Swann's camcorder is the key to unlocking most of the game's "collectibles", so it's highly recommended to be attentive during each instance and look for things to film whenever possible.

Important Note: This walkthrough currently covers up through the end of Tape 1 (Bloom). It will be promptly updated with the content of Tape 2 (Rage) once the remainder of the game's story is released on April 15, 2025. Bookmark this page as we'll update it as soon as Tape 2 is out.

• Next, choose the "We should make a zine!" dialogue option (friendship with Kat will improve)
• Choose the "Who's Gertie?" dialogue option (friendship with Kat will improve)
• Choose the "Did you bring it home?" dialogue option (friendship with Kat will improve)
• When Kat talks about taking her Dad's truck to the show, choose the "good idea!" dialogue option (friendship with Kat will improve)
• When you gain control of Swann, use the opportunity to film some clips around the playground for Swann's collection; you can unlock and complete the 'Forgotten Playground' Memoir (six clips)
  • There are also two instances of graffiti you can film near the train on the right side of the playground
  • If you haven't already, you can unlock the 'Home Movie' achievement by completing your first Collectible Memoir
  • You can also get another 'Spotlight' clip of Kat before you go talk to her
• Go over to the yellow slide and place the Mothgirl toy on it for another 'Mothgirl Chronicles' entry
• When you're ready, go over to Kat and select "That's a Wrap!"

Scene 24 - 'Riot Grrrls'

A Chance at Romance and Preparing for the Show (1995)

• In the next sequence, Kat offers to do your makeup for the show and asks you to choose a theme; your choice will impact the future
• IMPORTANT - READ FIRST: Kat will scoot closer and reveal that she has a confession to make to Swann. While this was our outcome for this playthrough, the friendship you focused on most for your playthrough (whether Kat, Nora, or Autumn) will be reflected in this sequence. This will be your opportunity for a romantic connection with them, and your dialogue choice here will impact that outcome. If you prefer not to pursue a romance, you can choose one of the other dialogue options.
• During the next scene, pick the color you want to spray the show lights with; your choice will impact the future

Setting up the First Bloom and Rage Concert (1995)

• Follow Kat and Autumn to the fence on the left of Bruce Spruce Bar to find power for their concert gear
• Go over to the nearby payphone and interact with it to suggest that Kat call Dylan for help. Kat hesitates and Autumn suggests looking around more for another solution.
  • Choose whether to rely on Dylan or look around more when prompted; your choice will impact the situation's outcome
• If you choose to look around more (the safer option) in one of the nearby dumpsters, you can 'Move' a piece of cardboard to get a Fire Extinguisher to break the gate lock
• Alternatively, go over to Corey's bike nearby and examine his bag. Inspect the Pager inside for a slip that has the lock's combination on it (see the screenshot above).
• Go over to the lock on the gate and choose whether to break it (Kat's preference) or unlock it with the combination (Autumn's preference)
  • If you opt to use the combination, you will need to know it by memory, so use the screenshot above to help
• Follow Kat and Autumn inside and hang a right once you reach the back. Across from the covered boat will be a crate with an Extension Cord. Take it.
• Go back around the corner and through the back door of the building. Inside will be an Outlet near the fuse box. Plug the cord in.
• When Autumn says it's not working, look at the Breaker Panel near the outlet and open it.

Breaker Box Puzzle (1995)

• When you open the Breaker Panel, you'll notice that two fuses are missing. To get the power going, you need to find the missing fuses and place them in the fuse box.
• Thankfully, both fuses are very close by. One is on the shelf directly to the right (seen above), while the other is on the ground to the left (also seen above).
• Once you have them both, go back to the fuse box and place them in both empty spots.
• Next, you need to adjust each of the fuses until the light for all of them turns green simultaneously.
• Before you leave the room, make sure to film the fuse box as part of the 'Setting the Stage' Memoir

Return to the Stage and Start the Show (1995)

• On your way back to the front, film the covered boat for another 'Setting the Stage' Memoir entry
• Place the Bloom and Rage stickers in four places around the bar (employee door, payphone, plant box by the front entrance, car trunk)
• Film the umbrella employee table by the gate for another 'Setting the Stage' Memoir entry
• Go back towards the front and film the bar occupants now outside for the 'Strangers' category

Scene 25 - '...& Rage'

Kat's Rage and Sickness (1995) - Tape 1 Ending

• When Corey confronts Kat and Swann, choose any dialogue option
• When ready, approach the drum board to start the concert
• Once prompted, start filming the concert and obtain seven clips for the memoir
• When the power is cut, and both Corey and Dylan confront the girls, a prompt will have Swann choose whether to accept responsibility or allude that it was Kat's idea
  • Either option will impact the future but not your friendship with Kat

• SPOILER: During the following sequence, after Kat collapses, Dylan reveals that Kat has leukemia with not much time left and blames the group for pushing her to a breakdown. Corey and Dylan leave with an unconscious Kat, while Autumn, Nora, and Swann are left speechless.
• Back in the present day at the bar, Autumn, Nora, and Swann will see their younger selves standing in the same spot outside, a likely culmination of supernatural power and their recalled memories. Afterward, credits will roll, and this signals the end of Tape 1 and the midpoint of the game.
• After the credits, you will see your official status with Autumn, Nora, and Kat. If you romance one of them, they will have the 'Something More' status, while the others will have variations of friendship (BFFs, New Friend, or We're Cool).
• Toggle the epoch to see your status with present-day Nora and Autumn while Kat remains unknown
• After viewing all of your stats, the 'Tape 1: BLOOM' and 'The Last Note' achievements will automatically unlock.
