About Mixtape

Three friends spend the last night of high school saying goodbye at one final party together. But on their way there, an eclectic playlist draws them into trippy recreations of their most pivotal memories. 

Splitting time between these flashbacks and their drive to the party, Mixtape plays out like a playable greatest hits album full of vignette chapters based around quintessential teen milestones.

Throughout the night, players will skate, photograph fireworks, stage explosives from the back of a pickup truck, and more. Players will relive the nostalgia of first kisses, last dances, regretful decisions, and uncertain emotions.
