Upcoming cosypunk slice-of-life record sim, Wax Heads, has a new trailer showing off fresh gameplay, characters and narrative details.
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 find the perfect LP for them (or slack off with co-workers, the choice is yours!).
Key Features
- A lovingly handcrafted, immersive musical world with cosy-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.
I played the demo as part of Steam Next Fest and really enjoyed it, there’s a great balance between running the store and chatting to customers, getting to know them and making sure you hook them up with the right records. Full thoughts are in our Wax Heads preview.
Wax Heads is coming to PC and consoles on May 5.
