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).

Super solid cozy game! There are definitely moments where the correct record feels a bit unintuitive and the humor can get a little tooo millennial camp. However, the game is very original in its music and storyline and I haven’t seen any game tackle themes of music, AI and the power of community action. In a world where AI is being shoved down our throat, it felt nice to have a piece of art tell what so many of us fear for the future and how to hold on to hope
A charming, engaging game. It's story is pretty standard for the genre, but it's polished to perfection, and the collection of songs you get to listen to while playing are all fantastic. Incredibly timely, will hit you harder than you expect.

Me parece un juego muy ligero, entretenido y ameno. Funciona muy bien si no tienes muchas horas para jugar al día, porque va por jornadas, además no se alarga y te deja muy buen sabor de boca. Lo recomiendo muchisimo.
this game inspired me a lot
Fantastic game with great characters and a great story!
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.
Very relaxing, and it has a great storyline. Finding records for everyone is fun, and discovering their personalities very entertaining. Would definitely recommend.
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 !!
i played for seven hours in a row the day i got it and only stopped because i wanted to sleep. woke up and almost immediately did another two hours to complete the game
this game is so good!!! from the art to the music to the story, this was such a fun game to play! the amount of detail into the songs and record/album designs is so inspiring to see!! as someone who has a younger sister, the story of morgan and willow resonates with me so much, would highly recommend if ure in the need for a short but sweet and heartwarming game!!
