Lost Records: Bloom & Rage’s fourth chapter, Welcome To Velvet Cove, is another short introductory chapter that gives us a bit more insight into who Swann is. After leaving her room in 1995, we follow her as she walks through the forest to return her rental video to the Movie Palace. On the way, you’ll get the opportunity to record many critters, birds, and more for your memoir collectibles.
Meanwhile, present-day Swann meets the bartender of the Blue Spruce and reminisces about the past while she waits. There are few choices available in this chapter, and fortunately, you don’t have to worry about getting any of them wrong.
Meeting Gus The Bartender
When you walk into the bar, the bartender greets you but has to leave to go take care of something,leaving you alone at the bar to wait.
While you wait,there are four reminisce spotshere:
The Deer Head willmove you forward in the storyand time warp you to 1995, so verify todo that one lastif you want to collect all the reminisce spots.
A Walk Through The Woods
The time warp takes us into the woodsright outside the Mikaelsen’s Deer Ranchwhere Swann is watching one of the bucks. When Swann picks up her camcorder, aim it at him andpress the button to start recordingfor the Hunting Memoir.
Once you’re done there, the scene will move forward toSwann stopping along the trailby a pond full of geese and other animals.
This part of the chapter doesn’t have any choices to make, but there will be plenty of options togather footage for various memoirs, including:
Continue through the story until the time warp,bringing you back to the present at the Blue Spruce.
Back At The Blue Spruce
Gus the bartender is backand asking if you’re okay. He will introduce himself and ask you if you need anything.
While none of the choices you make here affect the outcome of your relationships, they will change how Gus responds to you.
How are you?
Next, he’ll ask you if you’refrom out of town.
Gus will say, “Oh, well welcome back!”
I’m just visiting.
Gus will say, “Well, we’re honored to have you here at the Blue Spruce, then.”
When he mentions that it’s nice thatyou and your friend are having a reunion, you may respond with:
It’s not a big deal.
Gus will say, “Better make the best of it. You never know when it’ll be the last time.”
Don’t say anything.
Gus will just skip to his next scripted line.
Next he’ll ask what he can do for you. The game will tell you to look around to find new choices, but here theonly option is to look down at the phone, and then the option to ask him “Do you have a spare phone charger?”.
You’ll see this type of choice often in the game, where you’ll have tolook at someone or something to open up a choice option. This style of choice, if used, can help improve relationships with Swann’s friends.
Gus will plug your phone in,then ask if he can get you a drink. Your choice options are:
Gus will say, “Sure.”
I’ll wait for my friends to order.
Gus will say, “Gotcha!”
Even if you don’t choose the first option, Swann willask him where the bathroom is.
Once you’re able to walk around again, there are afew reminisce spots on the way to the restroom:
If you happen towalk close to the customer sitting at the bar, he’ll say “Hey there, miss.” which will prompt you with the option to say “Hi!” or ignore him.
