Over the past decade, Phoebe Bridgers has firmly established herself as one of the indie singer-songwriter scene’s most captivating artists. However, leading up to the release of her third album, Lost Weekend, it seems as if the musician is looking to diversify her portfolio a bit.
Days after sharing her RuneScape- and LARP-filled music video for the album’s first single, “Lost Boys,” Bridgers took to social media to announce her and her team made a “little game” based on the track.
Also titled Lost Boys, the game follows the motorcycle-riding elf persona Bridgers assumes in her music video and can currently be played on Bridgers’ official website. Like the vast majority of browser games, Lost Boy’s gameplay and overarching premise are extremely simple: Press arrow keys to gather coins while avoiding running into goblins, walls of fire, and other obstacles. Its Temple Run-esque gameplay is accompanied by low-poly visuals and a chiptune version of “Lost Boys” that can be downloaded as a ringtone.
Upon its release late last week, the “Lost Boys” music video quickly made nerd news thanks to Bridgers’ inclusion of footage from Old School RuneScape. About a minute into the video, the classic MMO RPG is shown being played by actor Skyler Gisondo, who you might recognize from his role as Jimmy Olsen in 2025’s Superman. With this video, Bridgers’ joins the long list of celebrities who publicly appreciate video games, and the very short list of celebrities who have dressed up as an ethereal elf and showcased LARPing in a music video.
