With Mixtape out today, the tiny number of coming of age games gets just that little bit bigger
The newly released game Mixtape, developed by Beethoven & Dinosaur and published by Annapurna Interactive, highlights the underutilization of the 'coming of age' genre in video games. While games like Life is Strange and Night in the Woods have explored this theme, Mixtape's focus on music and formative memories offers a refreshing perspective. The developers have opted against a DMCA-safe mode, emphasizing the importance of the licensed soundtrack to the game's experience.
