Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 2 Guide | How To Complete Screening Room Achievement (Trophy)

To unlock the Screening Room Achievement, you need to locate the hidden area, which is pretty tough to find in the game. This guide will show you all the steps to completing the achievement in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 2.

How to Get to the Movie Theater

Before you can get the "Screening Room" achievement, you need to find the projection room that isn't marked on your map. After getting into the backstage area of the Theater Club on Day 3, go to the west wing of the school building. 

There is a broken wall panel in the hallway near the old janitor's closet. If you touch it, a short cutscene will start. After taking off the panel, crawl through the opening to get into a dimly lit maintenance area that leads to a hidden projection booth with a view of the theater. 

Check out this room all the way through because it holds the key to the achievement. To get around safely, you'll need a flashlight or the upgraded lighter from Tape 1. The area is very dark and full of things that can slow you down or hurt you slightly if you're not careful.

Getting the Film Reel Puzzle Going

Once you're in the screening room, you need to turn on the projector again and put in the right film reel. There are three reels spread out around the school. One is in the art room cabinet, one is hidden in the library archives, and the last one is in Akari's locker, which you can open with the key you get when you finish her side quest. 

Only one of these reels is right. It has a pink sticker on the side that says "Reel #4: Our Blooming Youth." After putting this reel into the projector, use the nearby circuit box to change the power. You need to line up the red, green, and blue wires without crossing them to solve this light-routing mini-puzzle. It's hard, but not random, so you can try different things until you get it right. 

Press the button to start the reel once it's turned on. The projector will show a messed-up version of a memory cutscene you saw in Tape 1. This will show you hidden dialogue and a figure in the background. Do not skip this—you must watch it all the way through to get the achievement.

How To Get the Achievement and What It Means

After you watch the whole reel, a loud static noise will play, and the Shadow Bloom entity will briefly appear on your screen as a nod to the supernatural themes of the game. This will give you the "Screening Room" achievement or trophy, which helps you reach the Tape 2 meta-goal of "Memory Reconstruction." 

Akari's Torn Script, a new piece of lore, is now on the projector table as well. This can be put together with her diary pages to reveal an extra flashback scene close to the end of the Tape. The achievement is easy to get once you know what to do, but it's simple to miss because the items you need are not part of the main story. 

When you finish it, you get a better sense of the Tape's main ideas, which are skewed memories, the fear of growing apart, and how art can both show and hide personal truth. Also, this helps you get the trophy for finishing the game 100%, so if you want to get all of them, you should do this.
