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).

Banda sonora original bastante buena y una historia que está bien, lo mejor del juego su mensaje, los detalles en los escenarios, discos y letras que hacen que este resalte más.
Really charming visual novel with find-what-the-customer-is-looking-for puzzles that are almost always well thought out. Nothing too fancy with the narrative, but the writing and worldbuilding around all the fictional bands is wonderful. Solid soundtrack is worth a pickup too!

muy bueno tá chulo
This game is *epic*! Playable in under a week, and absolutely worth every cent. No major glitches or hold ups. Every scene is full of love for humanity, progressive politics, and easy wit. Life affirming, quirky, and a good summer play. I wish only that it were longer and that you could romance the other employees, But the fact that you can't gives the game its unique fingerprint, and I kinda wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for a bright spot during dark times, devs.
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce jeu, et si vous étes comme moi, que vous aimez la musique, les vinyles et les jeu narratif, vous allez aimé Wax Head. Déjà point positif pour moi, c'est un jeu queer, et qui dénonce l'IA, les riche et ultra riches, les interview à la télé avec les star de la musique, et bien d'autre sujets. L'histoire est touchante , avec des personnage attachant. Les graphisme sont beau et pleine de couleurs. Le gameplay est simple à comprendre et je trouve ça sympa de jouer un disquaire qui conseille des disque. Le jeu mérite plein de positif.
É um jogo que me tranquiliza e me faz desligar dos problemas por um tempo! A sonoridade é ótima e me faz adentrar na história dos personagens
Such a good story with lovable characters, everything is unique to this game and surpisingly sweet ending with a twist
