On a street so lonely, in a town so quiet, stands a mall no more, but a place for the old and unwanted, in plain sight to all, but very few enthralled.
Yet in this dimness, a strange sight does appear, the building's windows aglow, as if to cheer, amidst the darkness, they shine so clear, a beacon of hope, dispelling fear.
Fear not, don't let it take your breath, step inside the mall's welcoming embrace, the owner's face, a smile so bright, glad to have you, come day, come night.
The games that once brought such pleasure and fun, now sit on shelves, gathering dust and undone, their glory days over, their race now run.
An experience you'll find, so don't evade, games of old, waiting to be played, but do remember, payment must be made.
When night is broken, the end is awoken, but until then, don't run too fast, don't be too rash, Or your demise might arise. That, I am certain.
Horror Cartridge Collection is a series of short form horror games in the PSX style, with each game (Cartridge) offering a unique experience with different gameplay mechanics, styles and stories all connected by the mall.
