Records represent the game's primary method of world-building and it's secondary source of narrative.

Most records come in the form of documents found throughout the world, but some are also in the form of audio recordings. Both can be picked up by The Driver and stored in the Fax Machine at the Auto Shop. Their content can also be found in the Logbook at any time.
