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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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).

Is an amazing game, I loved the characters and the art style, and is very fun to play. Completely worth it.
I've been waiting for so long for this game, and omg, it was worth the wait. The art is AMAZEBALLSSS!!!! I can't fathom how can people be so creative to create a game that is so unique and original. If you love simulator games that aren't repetitive, and with a good storyline, this is def for you!!!

This game is just too long. I eventually dropped it because of the very basic story it was telling. The record store recommendations part of the game was very fun, but the length of the story really dragged me down. I would absolutely play a game that was just working in the record store with some fun characters kind of vaguely describing what they're looking to buy. [Note: I don't like visual novels, so those elements are incredibly boring to me. If you like visual novels, you'll probably like this more than me.]
A sweet loveletter to the power of music. Ironically, it feels very Indie and that's a lot of its charm. The setting and characters are cool, as well, just be prepared to read a lot. I felt it could have been a tad shorter, since the gameplay loop started to feel lightly stale to me in the last chapter. Nevertheless, I heartily recommend this sweet little game of you have an afternoon or two to spare for a chill game with a cool concept.
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.
Wax Heads absolutely drips with heart, but also sticks the landing—across narrative, design, writing, character, music, art, interactivity, the whole deal—in a way that a hundred other indies shoot for but don't always manage. The cherry on top is the way Wax Heads celebrates the spirit of those indies and every other striving artist in the process, without ever feeling fake or trite. Food for the soul, for real.
Wax Head es una oda a la música, a la cultura y a la identidad de los barrios que se ha ido perdiendo con la gentrificación. Si quieres un juego cozy para que te caliente el corazoncito, te encantará.
[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。
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!!!
[h1] 7/10 [/h1] While it doesn't really provide much replayability and can feel too linear and repetitive at certain points, it's overall a charming visual novel with a great soundtrack, that includes a lot of different genres. Worth picking up if you are heavily into music.
