- The return to a small-town narrative mystery with supernatural undertones is exactly what fans of this genre are looking for. The 90s aesthetic looks fantastic.
- If the story is as compelling as Life is Strange, Lost Records will be a massive hit. The characters already feel relatable and deeply flawed.
- An excellent premise: confronting a past secret 27 years later. This setup allows for profound commentary on memory and friendship.
- The visuals are striking, and the atmosphere perfectly captures that late-summer nostalgia. A must-play for narrative game enthusiasts.
