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).

Игра прелестная абсолютно. Влюбилась на неё ещё с демки, но при взятии полной версии сперва совершила чуть не ставшую роковой ошибку: в демку я играла на максимальной сложности и было кайфезно, а в фуле зачем-то включила сперва простую и чуть не удалила игру из-за того насколько стало скучно ходить и раз за разом пытаться подобрать покупателю идеальную пластинку. Не повторяйте мою ошибку и не пробуйте даже играть на сложности "Покупатель всегда прав". Никаких возвратов - вот наша политика!
Je suis tombé amoureux de Wax Heads quand j'ai fait la démo et j'attendais impatiemment la sortie, je peux dire que je ne suis vraiment pas déçu! Déjà l'esthétique du jeu, avec son coté très punk est un régal pour les yeux, toute la direction graphique des personnages et des albums donne un charme incroyable au jeu. Ca rend le gameplay de fouiller les étagères pour trouver LE disque encore plus plaisant Et parlons des albums!! L'équipe a vraiment réussi a rendre vivant les groupes et les disques vendus. Je me retrouve fan de certaines des musiques (mimiii) et j'attends un beau vinyle de toute la BO (un jour j'espère) Et avec tout ça le jeu est en plus une lettre d'amour au média physique, aux cd, vinyle, à la musique analogue et amène des vrais messages sur le streaming, les plateformes, les algorithmes 10/10 jouez y vite !!
Muito bonitinho
muy bueno tá chulo
The game warms my heart i more ways than one
almost close to finishing the game and so far its so fun!!! my favorite music to put on is sister - stick a stick in my eye every time i play the game it's my go to! i love the characters and the story <3
This game is incredible; the story, the art, the characters and every piece of music made for it is outstanding. I seriously reccommend this to absolutely everyone.
INSTANT FAV.
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.
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...
