Don't Nod, the French studio behind the acclaimed Life is Strange series, has released the first chapter of their new narrative-driven thriller. Dive into Tape 1 now, with Tape 2 launching free for all owners on April 15th.
Unveiled in 2023, the game plunges players into the lives of close friends irrevocably separated during a fateful summer in 1995. Twenty-seven years later, the echoes of that summer return, unleashing unforeseen and chilling consequences.
Blending nostalgic charm with the intensity of a psychological thriller, the game draws inspiration from classics like It, Yellowjackets, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The narrative is divided into two parts: Bloom and Rage. Currently, only Bloom, the first half of this haunting mystery, is available (February 18th).
The Tape, the second part, originally scheduled for March, will now launch on April 15th. This delay allows the developers to deliver a refined and polished experience.
The review embargo has lifted, revealing a respectable 74/100 average critic score on OpenCritic, promising a compelling start to this gripping mystery.
