All major choices in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage (Tape 1)

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a choice-driven narrative story where every decision you make has the potential to bring about huge consequences. There are a lot of choices to be pondered, and you’ll need multiple play-throughs to experience all of them. At the end of Tape 1, you’ll be shown all the significant choices you could have made in the previous 25 scenes. Each of the shown choices may go on to change things in the story of Bloom & Rage, so it’s worth paying attention to what alternative choices you could have made. You can also check how your choices stand up against the player base by selecting the “Global” option in the top left corner of the screen. This will display what percentage of players selected each option for each choice. The vast majority of these important choices will significantly impact your relationships with Autumn, Nora, and Kat back in 1995. It’s possible to become romantically involved with any of them, and your choices will determine how close you grow through the story.
