About this game
Mixtape follows three friends heading to their final party together. A playlist draws them into dreamlike recreations of the moments that shaped their friendship, with the story unfolding through playable vignettes. You skateboard, take photographs in an abandoned theme park and hit baseballs as the activities change between memories. The journey develops through these encounters with the friends’ past, linking everyday actions to their shared history. Music is part of that framing: the soundtrack includes DEVO and Joy Division, accompanying an adventure organized around recollection and a last night together.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A promising fit for players who want music and small playable moments to carry a friendship story.
The changing activities can give individual memories their own character. Its vignette structure is likely to appeal most when following the friends matters more than repeatedly refining one activity.
Strengths
- Connecting songs with playable memories offers a concrete way to express the friends’ shared history.
- Skating, photography and baseball can vary how the player participates in the story.
Weaknesses
- Players seeking sustained practice in a single activity may find the vignette format less aligned with that preference.
Who it is for: Players drawn to coming-of-age stories, music and a succession of different narrative activities.
