The same is true at Repeater Records, the fictional music shop at the center of Wax Heads. It’s a local watering hole for a small town, where old music snobs and pre-teens are both welcome. It’s your job as a cashier to treat everyone who comes to you for recommendations as an equal — even the normies who are only there to buy the latest album from the world’s most beloved pop star. That premise serves a breezy record store simulator with a light deduction puzzle hook, while setting up a thoughtful story about a community bonded through music, and what we stand to lose when those spaces are depersonalized at the hands of big business.
