About Lost Cartridge - Cold Read
It was meant to be a quick run to the pharmacy just before the snowstorm got too bad. After a car accident blocks the road though, Mitch is forced to take a detour. With the choice between freezing out in the cold or using the local library's payphone to call for help, Mitch enters into a place that only resembles the warm place from childhood in surface appearance.

There's more than one reason to keep quiet here...
Lost Cartridge - Cold Read has you control Mitch as he explores the dark parody of his hometown's library. Tasks required in order to escape can be completed in a variety of different orders, letting you tackle different problems at your own pace in this retro-inspired horror adventure game.
Among the library's various death traps, dangerous monsters stalk the shelves, looking for intruders. Unfortunately for you, that is exactly how they see you. There is no way to defend yourself from these creatures, requiring you to make note of any possible hiding places.

There are a few reasons to buy this game. -> It's retro style is refreshing, especially with the modern conveniences that have been added on. -> The incredibly graphic death scenes that have been lovingly added to document a player's bad choices~ -> The sound design is rather good. It has that retro feel while also using more notes than those old games would. -> If you get into the story it's pretty interesting. What I disliked~ -> Most of the story is confined to the end of the game. -> I personally don't have much of an appreciation for item-based input puzzles, (BUT! The puzzles that weren't based on items were very fun~) -> The NPC's that are in the game don't have much dialogue. While it is understandable in the context of the game's story, as in not talking too much to you is actualy helping you, I do think it would have been nice to dive deeper into their stories. Still, a good buy~ enjoy!
good game, weirdly felt nostalgic in a way
This is what happens when you return your library books late.
amazing game. adored lily's well and will be playing i cannot drown after this game. so obsessed with thjs developer.
If you dig Lily's Well or I Cannot Drown, check this out. Hell, if you like RPGmaker horror games in general, this a solid one, and well worth the price tag. The art is good, the puzzles are entertaining, and it gave me a few good spooks.
Mitch was spotted under queen's burrow bridge with 15 dollars.
