Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.71/day in the week to Jul 30 → 3.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Lose yourself in an emotional, uplifting narrative about community, musical mysteries and underdog spirit. Help endearing and indecisive customers find their perfect records while debating all things music with your loveable colleagues. It's your job to help Repeater Records find its rhythm again!
From customer requests to store shenanigans, you’ll dive into a variety of cozy puzzles. Decode clues and hunt for the perfect music recommendation by browsing records, scrolling social media, and poring over local music zines. You might even find yourself running the lights for local bands, designing gig posters and packing orders!
Drop the needle on a stacked soundtrack featuring dozens of original tracks spanning across many genres, bands, and eras. Every song is crafted to feel like a nostalgic gem. From grimy basement bangers to dreamy indie deep cuts. It’s a playlist built to loop in your head long after you clock out.
Dig through crates packed with 80+ hand‑drawn albums, lovingly imagined bands, and liner note lore that rewards curiosity. Each record has its own personality, history, and fanbase. Did Scandinavian metal band Jarhead really murder their singer and put his head in a jar? Is it true big shot rapper RXXX used to be a kid's TV presenter? Has anyone ever seen Mimi?
Repeater Records is staffed and frequented by a rotating cast of eccentrics, music nerds, and chaotic regulars. Every character is bursting with personality, quirks, and questionable opinions about what “real music” is. Get to know them and enjoy their banter. They’re the soul of the shop after all!
Patattie Games is the two-person indie punk duo made up of developers; creative doodler Murray Somerwolff (Welcome to Elk, Spitkiss, Dead Pets Unleashed) and creative programmer Rothio Tome (Former UNITY developer support engineer and top Spanish GameDev streamer).

Great game with unique characters, music and style. Love how much attention to detail and diversity is put into it.
una joyita
"Cozier" than I usually go for but this game is legit charming and manages to make the setting and characters feel very real. Not a ton of depth to the gameplay but there's enough detail packed into everything that it's fun hunting for records even when it doesn't provide a huge challenge.
As a musician myself this game really reminded me of what music is all about: community. Definitely cried. The soundtrack alone is worth the price.
Ce jeu est une lettre d'amour à la musique en plus d'être d'un réconfort incroyable.
It's a good visual novel like game with some puzzle elements, but the main focus is on music and figuring out what the customers really want/ need What I really loved about the game is the music, they're all so nice to listen to, and honestly there's not a lot of games like this that I came across so it's pretty unique for me, the developers really did a great job with this The gameplay is fun (you need to give the correct record for customers who doesn't really directly tell you what they want, but you get clues to what they really need by reading the magazines, the record covers, seeing the images and also seeing the customer's outfits sometimes) and a lot of the times the dialogue is hilarious The story is pretty good and highly motivational, though one thing that got me a bit bummed is that even if you made a lot of wrong choices or chose not to do the sorting puzzles, the storyline, outcome and ending will be the same, it just affects how much money you can get and you can buy decorative stuff with the money. I mean it's good for some people who doesn't like the pressure (however there is an option where you can pick between hard or easy mode, hard mode being you can't make a mistake or that's it, easy mode being if you make a mistake you can redo it on the spot), but it kind of doesn't motivate you to replay it again the second time (I did replay it and made ALL the wrong choices just to see if there's a different ending, but it's the same hahaa BUT the ending is super cute though) Other than that the dialogue, the people, the designs and of course the music are all fantastic! (there's actually a lot of people I find a bit annoying in the game but hey irl there's a LOT of people like that in business and customer service so it's pretty realistic) There's even a minigame arcade you can play if you get bored of serving customers lol Good buy, can be played with one hand, 9/10!
Extremely fun, challenging, and honestly I hope they make a sequel!
