Saves you a refund- Players seeking a deep simulation system or extended strategic progression may find the classification loop limited.

Our take on Cursed Shorts
The focused sorting mechanic keeps the game compact, but that focus leaves little room for broader systems or extended progression. Its two-ending structure adds an outcome goal, while the short runtime limits how much the central observation loop can develop.
What is Cursed Shorts?
Cursed Shorts is a short observation game set during a subway journey.
A phone displays a stream of short videos, and the player must decide whether each one is normal or abnormal. Normal clips are dismissed with an upward swipe, while abnormal clips are rejected with a left swipe. The phone screen can also be paused to inspect a video more carefully. The journey continues until the battery runs out, with the correct decisions determining whether the subway reaches its station. The game includes two distinct endings and has an estimated play time of 15 to 60 minutes.
