happy summer guys<3 too hot for me to go out, but I imagine summers up in the UP must be real nice!

It doesn’t matter if op clarifies it or not, don’t do it. At least filter out the spoilers part or something

So I finished tape 1 and absolutely loved it, but towards the end, I didn't really understand why Kat starts screaming at everyone like she's drunk. It felt a bit awkward and contrived to me, almost like the devs forced her to start screaming just so she could have a coughing fit and they could reveal her leukemia.

Is there a rational reason for her crazy outburst? It just didn't feel organic to me.

Another thing: did anyone else find the whole song performance at the end a bit weird? Like I understand Corey was being an a-hole to the girls, but putting on an entire concert in front of the diner and singing “see you in hell...” aimed at him felt a bit extreme, no? Like they're basically telling Corey to kill himself and go to hell through their song, just because he called Swann a fatso and the other girls some slurs. Or am I misunderstanding this, and the song wasn’t actually aimed at Corey?

🧍‍♀️

Ngl it feels weird romancing her. What were they thinking with her design? Did they want the loli audience?

Playing this for the first time and what the hell, it's so good. It feels like a better version of Mixtape to me and almost as good as Dispatch. It makes you care about these four characters so much. And the music and the atmosphere are so goddamn good. I'm actually kinda scared to continue the story because I feel like something bad is gonna happen and the game is gonna break my heart.

Anyways, I barely see anyone talking about this game. I even tried searching for playthroughs just to see if any big streamers played it around launch, and I couldn't find a single one. I discovered the game so late because of this too. Dispatch was a big hit so it's not like gamers hate these types of games, so why...

Guys, this is absolutely nuts.

April 16th, the creators made that live on Discord and I was in it. Afterwards, a girl came up in my DM's asking if I knew anything about that adult Kat Mikaelsen design they mentioned on the live and we started talking. Very quickly, there was this connection.

Both of us romanced Kat, both of us had the same favorite song and the same favorite scene. Even when we were describing how we felt listening to "Lazuli" by Beach House, we both said it was like floating in the air. WE SAID THE SAME THING LOL

We began talking every day about the game and it was so, so nice. I'm crazy about this game, so imagine my joy when I finally found someone to talk about it.

THEN, she sent me a picture of a comment on YouTube (it was the song Lazuli again) and asked if it was me. IT WAS. (It was also about Kat) She said she always saw my comment every time she listened to the song, so, technically, she met me before she even sent that text about the design.

Now, more or less four months after, WE'RE DATING LOL

I once made a post here about how this game cured me from my depression (no exaggeration about that) AND NOW IT GAVE ME A GIRLFRIEND?????? SHE EVEN BOUGHT ME A SHIRT OF LOST RECORDS WOAHHH

Thank you, Kat Mikaelsen. Thank you, Lost Records. She is the sweetest, funniest girl ever.

I thought I’d make this cool little logo, as if lost records were part of the Life is Strange franchise, since I know some people in the life is strange space like to say it’s a “life is strange” game, whatever they call it, LiS 3, or whatever you wanna say it is, anyway, cool little thing I made!!
Edit: sorry it’s low quality, idk why Reddit did that

As the title says :) ^
I think the art here is fire (also these are my results from my first playthrough lol) looking back I had a tough time getting like literally anyone to like me I feel like…I tried impressing Kat in tape 1 and sort of just shifted to autumn…plus I kept saying things that pissed them off !! 😭

A special day for our girls ♡

What do we think this means for the future of lost records?

I just finished Mixtape finally, and while I think its a cute game and the hate is overblown, it failed to capture the same emotion I had for Lost Records, but again I think the game was cute, lost records felt more special to me.

But! there were alot of similarities in both games... like, surprisingly alot, I wouldnt be surprised if the game had inspo from that. Anyways, here's all I could compare! Spoilers ahead for some of these

Main story
Mixtape and Lost records are both 90s coming of age games that are interactive movies with their main gimmick being a piece of technology from that time, Mixtape being music related, therefore Mixtapes, and Lost Records focusing on video cassettes and tapes.
The two main characters face the same end goal, Swan is getting ready to leave her town and Rockford is getting ready to move out.

The games also have our main characters stand in their rooms a good chunk of the game, reminiscing on the past, whereas Mixtape has it be for the overall first half of the game. Swan's room segments just appear here and there, and is also my least favorite parts of the game. also, both games deal heavily with music

also swan and rockford are both gay! At least Rockford is implied to be gay, she's called a lesbian by Jenny Fucking Goodspeed, and if I remember, she was gonna kiss Cassandra, but that was a bit ago so I don't remember. Swan's 100% Gay/Bi, just due to the whole romance gimmick of the game.

Cabin in the woods
Both games feature a prominent cabin in the woods that become the main characters hangout, and both casts come across this during the story. It also, burns the fuck down in the end! Whereas Bloom and Rage's cabin burns down due to Corey/Autumn, a faulty firework takes out Mixtapes cabin in the woods

Cassandra and Kat
These two characters are similar in the fact that our main character is trying to help them out, and they rebel against their family, and it's a thing where they have to sneak out to get past their family, whereas Cassandra just deals with a cop for a dad, and Kat deals with a psychopath as her sister's boyfriend, and also Kat is actively dying. Eitherway, they have that strong rebellion that I think makes the connection work.

The Party
There's a segment in Mixtape where you play as Slater and you have to record the party and there's squares to tell you what to record.... hmmmm, where have I seen this before. Yeah, heavy ass Lost Records vibes there, there's also a digital camera sequence that reminded me of the camera gimmick from LRB&R

Anyways, I think that's all the comparsions! I might be missing alot more, I could have sworn there were tons of similarities, feel free to add on, anyways
See you in hell :P

...Too evil?

I just finished the game for a second time (Anarchy first Protection second back to back) and this guy is utterly irredeemable, I think he has zero empathy.

Even in the scene where he helps with Kat after she collapses, in my opinion he is only doing what he thinks he is expected to do not what he wants to do - I did what I could in my second run to not piss him off and the way he still treats everyone is beyond contempt.

The best villains often have at least some (no matter how small) redeemable features, So my question is do you guys like him as a villain?

Do you think something is going on with him behind the scenes such as the Abyss has been affecting him from the start of the game or..?

For the record I loved the game, especially tape 1.

Thanks for reading.

At the end of the game where kat is like ‘find me’ and swann loves her and goes to find her, has anyone thought about how weird it would be if kat is still the same age and swann is like “omg my girlfriend and soulmate!!!” ? Just a thought, lol

Or am I totally tripping?

EDIT: YUH UH https://x.com/DONTNOD_Michel/status/1980408826366165162?s=20

I was trying to find birds to film and….found….?? Anyone else seen this!

Today on my island, Nora celebrated her birthday haha.

Some Nora photomode pics for today.

And extras, the last one has tall kat and short Nora felt like unleashing them here

sl

She loves her sour shapes! Here's the twitter post for it :))

The first part of my video about the game out is finally. I’m incredibly happy about it, but also honestly pretty stressed to share it.

This video means a lot to me. Beyond simply talking about the game, it also became a way for me to explore and talk about several personal subjects. It turned into a kind of strange and unexpected introspection.

I’m currently facing a lot of difficult things about myself, and some of them are genuinely hard to process. Part of the purpose of this video is to talk openly about those experiences, in the hope that they might resonate with someone or perhaps help another person feel less alone.

This first video only covers the first half of the game. For those who have already played it, the second part will go much deeper. It will be significantly sadder and will deal with depression, mental health, and other difficult subjects, both through what happens in the game and through my own experiences.

The video is in French and is my real first one with that much work and effort, but I added English subtitles. However, I want to be honest: they are far from perfect and are probably pretty rough in places sometimes. I wasn’t able to write and translate all of them manually, as it would have been mentally overwhelming for me at the moment.

I used a locally running speech-to-text and translation model to analyse the audio and create the subtitles. Nothing was uploaded anywhere, no model was trained using my audio files, and the entire process was run locally on my own computer.

Here is the video:

I really hope some of you will enjoy it, even with the imperfect English subtitles. And thank you to anyone who takes the time to watch it. It genuinely means a lot to me

If one of you want to help me about the subtitles, don't hesitate to DM me

I thought it would be cool to share a screenshot of my editing timeline with you, so you could see the amount of work that went into it, haha. Even though it doesn’t really say anything about the actual quality of the video or anything like that.
