A customer starts describing a band they love, except they don’t really describe it, they misremember it, they know the sleeve has a cloud, or maybe a shape like a cloud, and they want me to find that album amongst the stacks of vinyl in Wax Heads’ cluttered record store. Because in this game, you’re not just picking a record off a shelf, you’re solving a problem, decoding a person, and if you’ve ever spent too long in a record shop pretending you know exactly what you’re after, it lands with a kind of uncomfortable accuracy. That’s the hook for this observation puzzle game, and it’s a good one.
