Indie game developer and publisher Patattie Games have revealed their latest adventure game as you'll run your own record shop in Wax Heads. For those of us who grew up with local record shops (and still buy from them), this is a dream title as you'll take on the duties of stocking the shelves, playing new tunes, managing sales, and everything in-between. But not in a must-win kind of scenario, more in a fun puzzle experience that also tells a unique story of the shop. The game doesn't have a release window yet, but you can check out the latest trailer and info here while we wait for more info.
