About Wax Heads
Wax Heads is a narrative game about working at Repeater Records, a record shop trying to find its rhythm again. You help indecisive customers find records they’ll love, talk music with your colleagues and solve puzzles shaped by customer requests and shop life.
Find the right records
You browse records, scroll social media and read local music zines to decode clues and recommend music. The shop’s puzzles also include activities such as running lights for local bands, designing gig posters and packing orders.
Records and music
You can explore more than 80 hand-drawn albums by imagined bands, each with its own personality, history and fanbase. Liner notes offer lore to uncover, including rumors about Scandinavian metal band Jarhead, rapper RXXX’s past and the elusive Mimi. The soundtrack features dozens of original tracks spanning different genres, bands and eras, from grimy basement music to dreamy indie deep cuts.
The people of Repeater Records
The shop is staffed and visited by a rotating cast of eccentrics, music nerds and chaotic regulars. You get to know their quirks, banter and opinions about what counts as “real music”.
