Lost Records: Bloom & Rageis a choice-based adventure game with a lot of different options to select from in every chapter. While some choices may have ramifications further down the line, or even in Tape Two, one of the main purposes of these branching dialogue options is to build relationships with your companions: Kat, Autumn, and Nora.
If you’re looking to build a relationship with one specific companion, this guide has a breakdown of every choice you can make in Chapter Nine: Garage Band. There are also some interesting narrative options you can gain by staying silent or triggering bonus dialogue.
Remember,when you complete a chapter, you can always replay itby going to the Scene Selection menu. If you’re not happy with your choices, consider replaying the scene immediately.
Enter The Garage
When Swann first arrives at Nora’s garage,you’ll be prompted to knock on the door. From there, you’ll immediately get two dialogue options.
Swann: They can’t hear me, and I’m talking to myself.
Hello?
Swann: Hello? It’s Swann.
Remember,you also always have the option to stay silent.In this chapter, staying silent doesn’t get you much, butif you don’t want specific events to trigger, that’s always a choice you may make.
From there, you’ll be prompted to knock again and gain entrance to the garage.
First Introductions
Once inside the garage,you’ll get a chance to make a first impression with the other charactersas they welcome you inside.
You’ll also get a third dialogue option if you stay silent for a little bitand listen to their conversation before speaking.
‘Sup, comrades?
What’s awkward?
Nora: Autumn didn’t think you’d show.
After you make your introductions,you’ll be prompted to begin shooting the Nora’s Lair memoir. Take some time gathering footage and moving around the garage.
As you do,Kat will begin talking about her sister’s boyfriend Corey. When she does,Swann has the chance to chime inif she wants.
Response
Have you talked to Corey, Kat?
Kat: You serious? I screamed it in his face when we brought Dylan home.
Corey sucks!
Kat approves.
Scoot by Kat to gain access to the rest of the garageand continue shootingthe Nora’s Lair Memoir.
Band Names, Live Shows, And More
After moving by Kat,Nora, and Autumn will begin discussing band names, which Swann can weigh in on. Nora’s pitch is ‘The Spew.’
The Spew? That’s funny!
Nora approves.
Depending on how long you linger,you may also get two different sets of dialogue options, after Autumn begins discussing an ex-drummer from the band.
Was it someone from school?
Did you guys…hook up?
How about a road trip?
Everyone approves.
Optional Dialogue With Kat
After shooting the Nora’s Lair memoir,you can also trigger an optional conversation with Kat if you desire. Kat and you can bond over being self-described weirdos.
If you’re trying to build your relationship with Kat, this is an excellent place to start.
Kat will ask Swann about the freakiest thing she’s ever filmed, which will prompt an extended dialogue tree detailed below.
Some of these options only appear if you’ve actually filmed the thing Swann’s talking about, like the two squirrels mating, which can be done a few chapters prior.
I filmed two squirrels…mating.
If you say you’ve never filmed anything freaky, you’ll get another chanceto answer Kat’s question, or you can apologize and move on.
Sorry…
Kat disapproves.
Kat may also tell you the story of the time she saw a deer stand on its hind legswith an erection. If she does, Swann can continue the conversation.
Kat and Nora approve.
From there,talk to Nora to progress the level.
Get Ready To Jam With Autumn And Nora
Next, you’ll be ready to rock out with Autumn and Nora. However,Nora is missing her favorite pick. Head over to the media tower to find it.
You can find a small easter egg by opening the Movie Palace tapein the media tower. You can learn more about Autumn’s ex Dean by opening it.
The picks are in the Vortex Club tape, which you may open to find three options.
(Take Sun pick)
(Take Tharpe pick)
(Take Ghost pick)
Nora is neutral.
Additionally, if you open the Shadow Legions tape, you’ll find a stash of weed, which the characters may reference. If they do,you’ll trigger another dialogue option for Swann.
Nora’s an outlaw!
Before the jam session officially starts,Nora will finish a story about her trip to the mall with her dad. At the mall, he chastised her for wearing too much makeup. Swann can weigh in.
You don’t need makeup.
Nora disapproves.
Then,Nora will talk about how much she hates the mallin Velvet Cove. Nora actually likes malls, just not the ones in Velvet Cove. Swann can also chime in to build her relationship with Nora.
What if we went together?
I hate the mall.
Lastly,Kat will ask Swann what her favorite band is. Here,you have the chance to attempt to lieto your companions or tell the truth about your lack of music taste.

What got you into it? Skaters your type?
I want to see you skateboard, Autumn!
Autumn approves.
