Wax Heads review: a cozy record store management game with a lot of heart

Wax Heads is a cozy record-store sim that blends light deduction puzzles with music recommendations.

Players use customer clues to match albums, learn about a fictional music scene, and help a struggling shop stay afloat.

The review says the game’s charm comes from turning retail management into a warm, music-centered community experience.

It also highlights a broader theme: local cultural spaces matter, and something is lost when big business replaces them.
