Chapter 5-8

Guide to The Day We Met chapter in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, including collectibles, trophies, and relationship choices in 1995.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Arrive at the Movie Palace in 1995. After dropping off your rental, you'll notice ants on a fallen ice cream cone. Record this and decide to get a slushy.
  2. 2
    The snowcone stand has a limited availability window. Autumn will announce a final call. You can get ice cream first, decline, or wait until closing. Exploring now or later affects idle dialogue.
  3. 3
    Explore the right side of the building and climb the ladder to find a hideaway with more Movie Palace footage. On a table, you can pick up a die and roll it twice (or until you get a 20) to earn the Critical Roll Trophy (Rolled a natural 20).
  4. 4
    Near the back right corner of the roof, spy on two characters talking and use your camcorder to imitate them, earning dialogue for Swann to make fun of them.
  5. 5
    Walk to the front right corner of the roof and do the same to Nora and Autumn near the Snowcone stand. Recording yourself imitating the couple and friends earns the Dub and Dubber Trophy (Imitated people on tape).

    Climb down and explore the parking lot. Use the nearby phone booth to call Swann's Mother, who tells you to hurry home.
  7. 7
    Head to the Yooper Scooper area and talk to Nora at a picnic table. She will ask if your hair is naturally red; say Yes. Stay near her for multiple dialogue options to boost your relationship.
  8. 8
    If the Yooper Scooper is still open, approach Autumn inside the truck and choose a dialogue option. You have three treat options: Chocolate, Rainbow Snow (boosts relationship with Autumn), or Cute & Grumpy (boosts relationship with Nora). If you arrive late, the Yooper Scooper will be closed, and you cannot get a slushy.
  9. 9
    In 2022, you are at a bar talking to an adult Autumn after she exits the Blue Spruce restroom. Hug her to boost your relationship. She sits at the last booth to the left. Swann enters the restroom.
  10. 10
    Return to 1995. Depending on whether you got a slushy, you will be at the picnic tables by the Yooper Scooper. You can explore the Movie Palace, complete Memoirs, listen to Autumn and Nora, or use the camcorder around them to boost relationships. Be careful not to get too close, as Autumn's boss might get angry.

  19. 19
    When finished, head to the hole in the chain-link fence on the left side of the Movie Palace. As Swann is about to leave, a balloon floats down; Swann wants to capture it on camera.
  20. 20
