Don't Nod, the French studio behind the acclaimed Life is Strange, 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 unravels the mystery of a close-knit group of friends shattered in the summer of 1995. Twenty-seven years later, the echoes of that summer return, bringing unforeseen and chilling consequences.
Blending nostalgia with psychological thriller elements, the game draws inspiration from classics like It, Yellowjackets, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The game is divided into two parts – Bloom and Rage – with only Bloom, the first half of this haunting tale, available now (February 18th).
"The Tape," the second part, originally scheduled for March, has been pushed back to April 15th to ensure a polished release.
The review embargo has lifted, with OpenCritic reporting an average score of 74/100, a promising start for this gripping mystery.
