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).

queria muito ter gostado desse jogo mas ele é tao repetitivo que se torna cansativo ): ainda recomendo pois é um joguinho indie cheio de coisa pra falar e mostrar, mas a gameplay deixa bastante a desejar
There's so much care and love that went into this game that you can pretty much taste it. Nostalgic and hopeful-- both at the same time. Props for inclusivity and representation! I really recommend this for a couple of slow evenings with a beautiful story and some deductive work :)

jogo leve e muito bom
'Wax Heads' is a wonderfully heartfelt game that has true indie spirit flowing through its veins. If you love games with charm, style, memorable characters and good music, this is a must. This game is really a love letter to independent record shops, venues, and all creative outlets that build community and make the world a warmer place. It probably goes on a little longer than it needs to, and the central 'find the record' mechanic was starting to irritate me a little by the last portion. But that aside, this is a true indie gem that's brimming with intelligence, charisma, passion and style. Can't wait to see what Patattie Games puts out next!
i wish this was my life
Wax Heads is a fun, charming indie game with a great gameplay loop that you would think might get old quick, but I did not find that at all. Trying to figure out the customers actual requests and having a constantly rotating list of stock, which wove in story and worldbuilding elements from the game was great and made you actually have to pay attention to the game. The soundtrack was also fantastic, with a wide variety of made-up bands and artists that actually sounded really good (being able to que things up on the in-game player was great). Nice characters that really grew on you as well as a simple, yet interesting plotline kept the game's momentum going. After playing the demo for this game a few years ago I had high hopes, and I'm so glad I was not disappointed. A very much recommended indie game.
INSTANT FAV.
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...
Vente por la música, quédate por la historia y las buenas vibras.
