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).

Comprei pela dinâmica do jogo, fiquei pela história. Inicialmente, achei que gostaria mais com a parte de encontrar as recomendações para cada cliente, mas acabei me apaixonando pelos personagens, pelas bandas fictícias e pelo drama da história. Wax Heads tem essa qualidade de te fazer mergulhar no mundo que ele cria. A arte é excepcional.
The job is too easy and the mechanics are too shallow. It makes it hard to take the dialogue seriously. A customer comes in and says "I'm looking for a Jazz album with a saxophone that sounds like nothing I've ever heard before." You give them the record with the liner notes that say "A Jazz album with a saxophone that sounds like nothing you've ever heard before."
O que é o ser humano sem a arte, e o que é a arte senão gerada pelas mãos humanas? Uma perfeita mensagem de amor de carinho para todos os criadores e amantes da arte!!!
[b] 请确保可以英语游玩&喜爱摇滚[/b] 推理客户喜好推荐唱片,阅读专辑评论,故事很有一种社区的人情味。 推荐唱片的解谜100%正确比较难。一直重复有些无聊。 其次 [b] 我是拿翻译器玩的 [/b]。文字、故事的美式风格,加剧了阅读的难度。ai优化后我也不太能理解[i] 语言逻辑 [/i]和[i] 部分谜题双关 [/i]。(怀疑是否真能完全信达雅) 我喜欢买唱片所以购入了。游戏中专辑摇滚朋克贯彻得很好。bgm放专辑音乐很有代入感,很艺术,但太摇滚了我听不太惯。
que jogo MARAVILHOSO tô apaixonada pqp
J'ai tout aimé : le lore, l'histoire, le gameplay... Vraiment une petite bulle de réconfort avec un message politique et de l'espoir. Tout ce dont j'avais besoin. Merci du fond du coeur !
So cool, very detailed. I love all the little easter eggs, mini-games and the way the story slowly takes shape
Wax Heads me gustó mucho. Es de esos juegos perfectos para pasar el rato de forma relajada, escuchar buena música y dejarte llevar por su vibra. El arte está muy chulo, la paleta de colores me encanta y toda la estética transmite una energía muy especial. Además, el game feel se siente bien, la navegación es intuitiva y es fácil entrar en la dinámica del juego. Mi parte favorita es descubrir las pistas que te da cada cliente según su vestimenta, su look o la vibra que transmite, para intentar adivinar qué disco quiere llevarse ;) Recomendado si buscas algo chill, cute y con buena música...
This game is simple but engaging with a cool story. I had fun playing through it, reading about the various records in the game, and engaging with the extra content from the developers that can be unlocked throughout the game. I also thought the pre credit introduction to the dev team with their real life record recommendations was super cool. Awesome job from this dev team.
Love the art, love the music. The characrters feel well crafted and with interesting personalities.
