CARTRIDGE WORKS

SCREEN 01 · A THREE-PERSON STUDIO

CARTRIDGE WORKS

Cartridge Works is three people and one shelf. We finish a game completely — then we sell it. Every game below is done: no season pass, no server to sunset, no day-one patch. You pay once and the box is yours.

  1. Pick a game from the shelf.
  2. Press its button to put it in the order.
  3. Send the order. We pack on Fridays.

SCREEN 02 · THE SHELF

THREE GAMES, ALL FINISHED

Nothing on this shelf pulses or glides — the machine has no tween; frames change. When something blinks, the machine is waiting on you.

MOSS PATROL

NEW

You are the ranger. Tend forty mountain trails, one rainfall at a time, and the moss remembers where you walked.

$18 paid once, yours forever

$18 / 3 of us = $6 each

PLAYER RATING

24/25

From 60 mailed-back rating cards: 288 stars of a possible 300. The machine can’t light a fifth of a cell, so it lights 24 of 25.

BOXES LEFT

7/10

Seven boxes in the shelf slot. A slot holds ten.

  • One player, forty trails
  • The whole game in the box
STUDIO PICK

THE LONG FERRY

Carry strangers across a wide gray lake. Every passenger pays in stories, and the fog keeps a schedule of its own.

$24 paid once, yours forever

$24 / 3 of us = $8 each

PLAYER RATING

24/25

From 45 rating cards: 216 stars of 225 — 24 cells of 25.

BOXES LEFT

3/10

Three boxes left. The second run is at the pressing plant.

  • One player, nine crossings
  • The whole game in the box

TIN ORCHARD

SOLD OUT

Wind the orchard and the clockwork apples grow. Winter only comes when somebody forgets a key.

$15 paid once, yours forever

$15 / 3 of us = $5 each

PLAYER RATING

24/25

From 85 rating cards: 408 stars of 425 — 24 cells of 25.

BOXES LEFT

0/10

The first pressing is gone. The second arrives in October — same game, same box.

  • One player, four seasons
  • The whole game in the box

THE ORDER

Pick a game from the shelf and press its button. Nothing is charged until you send the order, and the shelf only sells what it actually holds.
