You may notice that this game does not include a restart button.
That choice was intentional. Cold Storage is designed to feel weighty—your decisions shape Elliot’s internal state, and I wanted each playthrough to feel lived-in rather than easily undone. Instead of immediately restarting to chase a different ending, I encourage you to sit with the one you reached. Consider what your choices say about Elliot’s mindset and what they reveal about survival, guilt, and self-worth; ultimately, what they say about you.
If you do choose to replay (which I highly encourage), I hope you approach it not as a way to correct a mistake, but as an exploration of another version of Elliot’s truth.
