About Wax Heads

A cosy-punk slice-of-life narrative sim about managing a struggling record store. Chat to quirky customers with unique tastes, explore a handcrafted record collection, fall in love with bands (and their drama!), or just slack off with your colleagues – all to restore the groove!

Storyline

Welcome to Repeater Records, where we flip sleeves, spin clues and rek - rek - recommend the very best records! As the new kid in charge of the store, you gotta understand the ground rules: Rule One: The Customer Is Never Right - But You Are! The customers of Repeater Records are an eccentric, indecisive bunch. Each and every one of them is after that ONE perfect record. It's up to you Wax Heads to read the vibes and pick out the perfect one from the pile! Rule Two: Learn Your Divas From Your Beatniks! Did Scandinavian metal band Jarhead really murder their singer and put his head in a jar? Is it true Kerri Krow only sings when brushing her teeth? Has anyone actually ever seen Mimi? With over 50+ records and dozens of musical acts, there's a lot to learn and love as an aspiring Wax Head. Rule Three: Don't Get Lost! Repeater Records has twists and turns, surprises and secrets, arcades and TV's, posters and zines - it's easy to get lost and distracted when looking for the right record. Just don’t forget the clients, alright?
