Very enjoyable read! I know little about the Mother, and Earthbound games, having never played them, yet I was able to follow this pasta without confusion. I thought that the pacing of this was good, like a brisk walk, and all the details were presented concisely. The screenshots were quite a nice touch, although when I clicked on some of them for a full size view, the lower portion of the image was not displayed (let me know if it's just me.)

If I had once nitpick, it would be that the previous owner of the game, presumably having gone through a similar experience as the narrator, would pass the game on so another would suffer. But I know that the not is a forshadowing tool, and to be frank, the game had to come from somewhere! If the first owner destroyed it, there would be no story.

Nice effort, good details, and an interesting theory. I especially liked that the cartridge didn't end up being haunted or demonic or anything, and the altered gameplay was presumably the result of the prior owner modding the game, hence unlocking hidden code or something to that effect. that's what I thought anyhow. And even if highly unlikely, it is plausible that a TV speaker could produce a tonal frequency that could physical discomfort, maybe injury, especially if the sound was running through external speakers.

Sorry for the overly long comment, I enjoyed the story very much :)
