Short Sharp Shocks were originally created as vehicles for designers to present unusual ideas in a dark fantasy or horror setting. Over the years they have become associated with a sense of experimentation, intense characterisation and gritty psychological realism. These games will challenge you, so be prepared.

Hearts in Darkness

"The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me."

from 'Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard'
By Thomas Gray 1716-1771

When five boys decide to go on a road trip around the country, they end up discovering more about the Darkness within than they ever wanted to.
