About This Demo

About this demo:

Welcome to the demo version of Wax Heads! In this preview, you’ll play through a small slice of life at Repeater Records and get a feel for the cozy‑punk chaos of working in a struggling indie shop. Here’s what you can expect in the demo:

• Run the store for three days and get to grips with your daily tasks behind the counter with the help of your oddball colleagues.

• Meet 15+ of Repeater’s eccentric, indecisive customers and help each of them find the perfect vinyl from a collection of 20+ records. With many more customers and records to be discovered in the full game!

• Experience the opening threads of the game’s overarching narrative, hinting at the mysteries, drama, and community spirit at the heart of Repeater Records.

• Browse the Jukebox and listen to a curated selection of original bangers from the Wax Heads soundtrack.

• Head out to The Apple Bed and catch Hank’s band, Da Knees, performing live, giving you a taste of the world beyond the shop.

• Hit up the Diggy Doggo arcade machine sitting in the corner and see if you’ve got what it takes to try to get the high score among other minigames!

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! 

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! 

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! 

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).
