About the game
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, your job is to turn this place around. That means learning your way around the library and playing matchmaker between the customers and albums.
The store is packed with twists and turns, surprises and secrets, arcades and TVs, posters and zines. It’s easy to get lost and distracted, so make sure you pay close attention as you go! You’ll also need to learn your way around the bands… and their dramas. 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? Rummage through the 50+ records and find out the truth for yourself on your mission to make a musical nirvana and restore the groove!
