Cursed Shorts

Cursed Shorts – a short, creepy, and tense game set in a subway

Cursed Shorts is a short but powerful first-person horror game. You will be on the subway, with only your phone in hand and a seemingly simple task: watch short videos, then decide if they are “normal” or “cursed”.

Basic gameplay

You can operate entirely with your phone in the game:

• Swipe the screen to categorize the videos.
• Pause the clip when there are suspicious details.
• Keep the pace fast but precise, as the phone battery will gradually decrease over time.

Try to observe — sometimes even a slight distortion, an off-key sound, or a passing shadow can be a false signal. If you choose wrong, your chances of reaching the end of the train will be less.

Highlights

• Simple design: no combat, no puzzles — focus on your attention and reflexes.
• Time pressure: the battery meter acts as a survival counter.
• Exquisite sound and visuals: every small detail contributes to the feeling of unease.
• Multiple endings: the outcome depends on your accuracy and speed.

Emotional Experience

What makes Cursed Shorts haunting isn’t the scares, but the sensation of being trapped in a loop — between the flashing lights of the train and the eerie video sounds. You’re not “winning” in the traditional sense; you’re simply trying to stay sane.

The game suits players who enjoy short experiences, unusual concepts, and emotional tension. You can finish it in one evening, but the lingering unease may make you hesitate before opening your phone next time.

Summary

Cursed Shorts isn’t a game for “quick fun,” but rather a test of your attention and reaction to seemingly harmless details. Try to look closer — because sometimes the thing that scares you the most is right there on the small screen you hold every day.
