Curve Games and Patattie Games have announced that Wax Heads will be released this May. In the game, players head behind the counter of a struggling record shop. Here, they discover new music, connect with the local community, and help shape the store’s future. Wax Heads will launch for PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. A PC demo will be released during February’s Steam Next Fest.
Here is a description of the game, via Curve Games and Patattie Games:
In Wax Heads, players step into the role of the newest employee at Repeater Records – a legendary record shop known for always recommending the right vinyl to the right customer. As the shop struggles to survive in a changing world, players will chat with quirky customers to conscientiously find the perfect LP for them (or slack off with co-workers, the choice is yours!).
Wax Heads blends charming puzzle design and visual storytelling, creating a love letter to music culture. Using clues and cues, explore the world of Repeater Records. There are over 80 in-game records to find, over 60 hand-drawn characters, and over 30 original songs.
Here are the key features of Wax Heads, via Curve Games and Patattie Games:
- A lovingly handcrafted, immersive musical world with cozy-punk vibes.
- An emotional, uplifting narrative about community, mystery and the underdog spirit!
- Charming puzzle design, mini games…and virtual pets!
- Punchy, humorous and affectionate dialogue, set to a killer original soundtrack.
- A gorgeous comic book art style, including 50+ hand-drawn records and customers.
“With Wax Heads, we’re bringing back the magic of human connection in music,” said Murray Somerwolff, Creative Director at Patattie Games, in a press release. “We want to celebrate and reignite the passion that is discovering music in a physical space. To recapture the joy of rummaging through albums, to find something to hold in your hand, a song to lose yourself in, an album to cry to, a new band to call your own.”
Developed by Patattie Games and published by Curve Games, Wax Heads will be released for PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series on May 5.
