Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
it’s super cozy and immersive, and gameplay-wise it’s kinda like strange antiquities / horticulture / tiny bookshop but for records. i love the amount of detail in this game, like every album has its own unique description and pressing, there are backstories for the artists / bands, and the characters have lots of personality too!

Audio

Unlocking new songs and getting to listen to them throughout the work day was such a treat and I immediately bought the OST on Steam so I could keep listening to once I finished the game.

I love that there are two different difficulty modes as well (they definitely understand the cozy gamer and what we prefer).
