About Mixtape
A music-driven coming-of-age adventure that will change how you hear summer
See It in Action
One Last Summer
Mixtape follows three friends replaying the memory of one final night together. It is a music-driven coming-of-age adventure about friendship, trouble, joy, and the songs that stick to a moment forever.
The experience moves through playable memories rather than a conventional checklist: skating, flying, sneaking out, taking photos, setting off fireworks, playing baseball, and cutting through surreal teenage recollections.
Released on May 7, 2026, Mixtape comes from Beethoven & Dinosaur and Annapurna Interactive, with a soundtrack direction built around post-punk, new wave, alternative rock, synth, soul, and left-field classics.
Meet the Characters
Three friends, one final night, and the songs that pull their memories back into focus
The Dreamer
One friend sees every late-night dare and awkward goodbye as part of a bigger song. Their memories turn ordinary teenage moments into playable set pieces.
The Realist
Another friend keeps the group tethered when the night gets too loud, too fast, or too strange, turning the mixtape into a record of what they cannot quite say.
The Wildcard
The third friend pushes the night into motion: bigger risks, louder jokes, and the kind of chaos that only makes sense years later.
Gameplay Mechanics
Four pillars that make Mixtape unlike anything you've played before
Exploration
Move through memory-driven scenes: skating, flying, sneaking out, photographing the world, playing baseball, and setting off fireworks.
Dialogue Choices
The story is built around the bond between three friends and the way songs can pull old conversations, arguments, jokes, and regrets back to the surface.
Song Selection
At key moments, you choose which song plays โ and that choice changes the emotional tone of the scene, the character reactions, and even unlocks different story paths.
Rhythm Sequences
During climactic emotional moments, the game shifts into rhythm-based mini-games โ simple, expressive, and perfectly synchronized to the licensed soundtrack.
Made with Love
Mixtape was created by Beethoven & Dinosaur, the studio behind The Artful Escape, and published by Annapurna Interactive, home to Kentucky Route Zero, Stray, and Outer Wilds.
The current fan-site soundtrack reference is based on a 28-track credited list. Storefront descriptions highlight music from artists including DEVO, Roxy Music, Lush, The Smashing Pumpkins, Iggy Pop, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, and The Cure.
