Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a narrative-based indie adventure released in two episodes. It follows a group of friends in two periods 27 years apart, as they try to remember the past.

Unused UI Textures#

A prototype version of the save-indicator can be found in the files. It contains three frames arranged in the same pattern as the final animation, but instead of a floppy disk the icon shows a raven.

These old versions of the camcorder UI icon go unused in the final version:

Unused Demo Graphics#

These images seem to be left over from a demo. They show a recap of the story up to this point.

Unused Audio#

Play_Mx_Temp_SwannsTheme contains an unused version of the main character's theme.

Play_S2300_Extraction_DEMO_Performance is located in the folder MoCap_Sync_ForMary_Temp and contains a demo version of the band's performance.

Play_AUDIOREF_S2600_VS_ClipCommentary_VSOutroCIN contains an audio recording of a Motion capture session. It is located in the folder MoCap_Sync_ForMary_Temp, indicating a use during development, perhaps to test the synchronisation between the captured character animations and the audio. A director can be heard reading out stage directions, and the clip starts with a clapboard.

Character Names#

STB_PKG00_Characters, located inside UNI/Content/Localization/PKG00/_StringTables/, lists all characters with speaking roles, as well as the codenames for them, which are abbreviated to three characters. For some, this abbreviation is obvious. Other characters seem to be referenced by a working name.
