Inside Follow the Reader

What it is

Follow the Reader is an abandoned adventure game for children, set in the Disney universe featuring Disney Characters. Practice your reading through an interactive storybook experience and live one day as Mickey Mouse! Select different actions to be read by a narrator as Mickey does the actions chosen by the player. Players can save the game and then load and watch the story they've helped create take place without them pressing on anything.

The premise

Most of the game takes place in Mickey's house with Mickey being able to play musical instruments, order a pizza, watch TV, read a book or a magazine, cook, eat and drink whatever he has, feed his dog Pluto, as well as plant seeds and water them. He can also take care of his hygiene, write letters to his friends and give them calls.

Mickey can invite his friends over to his house or go on a picnic with one of his friends to the park or the beach. The game ends once Mickey goes to bed.
