The ending is open to interpretation; nothing actually supernatural happens throughout the story, so there's no reason to think it's anything more than a white curtain blowing in the wind. There's plenty of room for a follow-up, either exploring other parts of the world or looking into the other menu options presented at the beginning.

Regarding the beginning, that's actually based on actual events. Retro game stores get in dead cartridges all the time, which they either try to repair or just don't sell. They're not generally in the best quality, so while I found two non-functioning copies of the game at local game stores, I eventually turned to eBay for one that was in better condition.
