About Shorted

Shorted is a deck-building game where your cards form the board. Packets from your deck are dealt onto a 9×9 grid, and you trace chains of the same color to score. After each grid, you rebuild your deck to improve the next one.

Trace and score

Straight chains score, while zigzags score more. Each turn in a chain increases its multiplier, making the shape of your route important to your score.

Patches and Firmware

You can install up to five Patches and arrange them into combos. Some add Bits, some multiply scores, and others change the rules. With the right combination, one chain can clear the Screen. Beating a Firewall lets you upgrade a shape with Firmware.

Stages and Firewalls

Each Stage ends with a Firewall that breaks the rules and corrupts your deck. Clear all six Firewalls to unlock the next tier, progressing from GUEST to ZERO-DAY. You can also take your build into Endless mode, which continues until it shorts out.

Frequently asked questions

Steam lets publishers create keys to sell in other shops. Once you activate a key, the game is yours to keep, just like a store purchase.

Disclaimer: CD keys have an inherent 1–2% average failure rate. Check the shop terms for buyer protection info. Steam offers no buyer protection for keys bought in other shops and doesn't refund them.
