Stacy Rockford is right; music is magic. The main protagonist of Mixtape, Rockford posits that the right piece of music is both a path to where we're going as well as a record of where we've been. The soundtrack of our lives goes forward and backwards, playing and rewinding. The coming-of-age title, which sees three friends look back on their high school years together while preparing for what comes next in the form of one last greatest hit, drums this beat again and again.
Not that Mixtape ever really repeats itself. The game plays out over a series of memory vignettes inspired by objects or people in rooms or topics of conversation or songs. Remember that one time where that thing happened? Now you're doing it. What about that party where we almost got caught? Smash cut to actually playing through that scenario. Next up in our soundtrack is this particular song, which evokes a certain memory.
