About This Soundtrack
The soundtrack for Mixtape features a carefully selected list of songs from the 1980s and 1990s, complementing the game's story-driven adventure of teenage nostalgia and growth. Developed by Beethoven & Dinosaur and published by Annapurna Interactive, the game relies on its musical selection to drive its dreamlike vignettes. The soundtrack prominently features iconic artists such as Joy Division, The Cure, and Portishead, under the direction of Johnny Galvatron.
The musical direction of Mixtape is deeply integrated into the gameplay, with Stacy Rockford serving as the in-universe music supervisor for her own life's memories. The tracklist includes a mix of post-punk, new wave, and electronic hits, including 'Atmosphere' by Joy Division and 'Plainsong' by The Cure. The production emphasizes the emotional resonance of these tracks, using them to bridge the gap between Stacy, Van, and Cassandra's shared past and their uncertain future.
Fans of the game can explore the complete tracklist, which captures the distinct alternative and grunge aesthetics of the late 20th century. Notable inclusions like 'Just Like Honey' by The Jesus and Mary Chain and 'The Touch' by Stan Bush highlight the range of the hand-picked selection, which moves from somber introspection to high-energy action. Our database provides a detailed guide to every song in Mixtape, organized to reflect its role in the trio's final night of high school.

Did you know?
- Music before Story: Unlike most games, the soundtrack in Mixtape was chosen first. Director Johnny Galvatron created a playlist to see what story the songs would tell, with development officially starting around the track 'That’s Good' by DEVO, the director's favorite band.
- Stop-Motion Visual Style: Developed in Unreal Engine 5, the game uses a reduced frame rate animation technique to mimic the look of stop-motion. Inspired by 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', this choice gives a tactile, handcrafted feel to the memories.
- Nostalgic Minigames: The gameplay features surreal vignettes of teenage life, such as using analog sticks to control tongues during an 'Awkward Kiss' or moving through a video store while the character is intoxicated.
- Australian Rock Connections: The game features deep ties to its studio's home country. A 3D modeler on the team is the son of a member of the famous Australian band Mondo Rock, who wrote one of the game's songs for the developer's mother.
- Film Inspirations: The tone is a direct tribute to John Hughes' 'coming-of-age' films like 'The Breakfast Club'. The director describes the visual experience as 'flipping through MTV channels at 3 AM' in the 90s.
- The rewind mechanic: Instead of a traditional death or failure screen, the game uses a VHS/K7 rewind effect, reinforcing the concept that the player is 'rewatching' a memory.

About the Game
On their final night of high school, three friends, Ennis, Lucky, and Jen, embark on a sentimental journey to one last graduation party. But as the music starts, their memories take over.
Mixtape is a surreal story-driven adventure that weaves together a series of film-like vignettes. From the first spark of a teenage crush to the rush of a late-night prank, you will play through the formative moments that defined their youth. Powered by a legendary soundtrack featuring The Smashing Pumpkins, Joy Division, and The Cure, the game blends 90s counterculture vibes with a unique "stop-motion" art style. It is a heartfelt tribute to the mixtapes we made, the friendships we kept, and the songs that gave us a reason to dream.
