About Wax Heads
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).

As someone who used to work at HMV, my favourite part of the job was finding things for people based on obscure, half-remembered details they gave me. I was over the moon when I found out they made that experience into a game! The vibes are immaculate, the mini-puzzles are varied and fun and the character design is especially good - they really feel like people you've met before! I didn't expect to get so caught up in the story and feel genuinely moved by the end, and all the little extras like the tape recordings really created a fully fleshed out nostalgic experience. Playing this game feels like hearing a great song for the first time, coming across an awesome band at a local bar, getting excited about a new album... Definitely my new favourite game, one of those ones you don't want to keep playing because you know it's going to end! I recommend it to anyone who loves music or wants to fall in love with music again.1 found this helpful
The game warms my heart i more ways than one
Love the art, love the music. The characrters feel well crafted and with interesting personalities.
So cool, very detailed. I love all the little easter eggs, mini-games and the way the story slowly takes shape
'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 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
