The acclaimed French studio, Don't Nod, renowned for their work on Life is Strange, has just released the first chapter of their latest narrative-driven adventure. Fans can now immerse themselves in Tape 1, with Tape 2 set to be available for free to all who have purchased the game on April 15.
Initially unveiled in 2023, this game delves into the haunting story of a group of friends whose bond was mysteriously shattered during the summer of 1995. Fast forward 27 years, and the echoes of that fateful summer resurface, bringing with them unforeseen and chilling repercussions.
Crafting a narrative that intertwines nostalgia with the suspense of a psychological thriller, the game draws inspiration from classics like It, Yellowjackets, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The developers have creatively divided the experience into two distinct parts: Bloom and Rage. As of February 18, players can explore the first installment of this eerie tale.
Anticipation builds for the second part, known as "The Tape," which is scheduled for release on April 15. Originally planned for a March launch, the delay aims to deliver a more refined and polished experience to players.
With the review embargo now lifted, OpenCritic has reported an average critic score of 74/100, indicating a promising start for this enthralling mystery.
