About This Game​

Picture this - It's the year 2002, and you just booted up your game console ready to wind down for the day. But something is wrong. The serene blue fog of the console's startup menu turn a foul red, the resonant music pitches down and an error message appears on screen, as if to shame you for your actions:

Disc Read Error: Please Insert Disc.

Cool concept to explore in a horror setting, and ofc nostalgia is in full effect.

This game is unrealistic.

When this happened everyone knows it was CD lens cleaner time.

Probably, surprised they never actually damaged anything instead

The sequel will be about restoring the missing CGI cutscenes.

This was actually effective though. But it depends on the way you did it. I would bring the cart very close and blow a very little amount of warm air. This worked 100% of the time for me regardless the system.
