A quick detail on the background art: if you noticed the belt in the Player view is missing a buckle, or the bedroom in the Cassette Rack feels ambiguous, that’s 100% on purpose.
I didn’t want the imagery to lean toward any specific gender. I want this retro space to represent anyone and everyone. Nostalgia is for all of us, so leaving out those gendered markers means this Walkman belongs to everyone.
