* BigNo: Kayla after her friend Issac dies at the conclusion of Level 4.
* BittersweetEnding: Kayla survives and wins the ultimate prize: the command prompt that enables her to manipulate reality which she uses to kill Lance, fully heal her injuries and save her mother. But the experience has changed her, innocent people have suffered and died along with her friend Issac and Beck is still out there.

** Kayla and Issac find the original location where Curs>r was developed. They watch a video recording documenting the first Curs>r beta test made in March of 1984. The game is based on an ancient curse that was digitized by a man named Beck--the cursor--who uses it to prosper to the detriment of the player--the cursed.

Added DiffLines:

* NothingIsScarier: The giant rat that terrorizes Kayla’s mother is never seen onscreen, only demonstrated through a simplistic image on the screen playing Curs>r. If her mom’s reactions are anything to go by, it’s not pretty.

Added DiffLines:

** The second game has Kayla’s mother be chased by an unseen mutant rat. Kayla’s mom eventually has to pick between jumping out of a window to her potential death, or getting definitely killed and eaten by the thing. She chooses the former.
** When Isaac tries to unplug the computer, Beck curses him to vomit ropes of recording tape, and gives Kayla the option to either “fast forward” or “rewind”. Both options seem incredibly painful to him and he ultimately dies anyway, and it’s clear that the choice didn’t really matter.

* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Kayla has apparently never heard about Creator/RobertEnglund.
* PunnyName:
** Isaac's computer repair shop is named "Byte Me".
** "Curs>r" is a clever pun, since it can refer both to the "cursor" in the adventure game's prompt and the role of the game as a "curser", that is, passing on the curse to whoever is playing it.

Besides the (miserable) cleaning crew and their jerkass boss, the only other visible employee is Beck himself and the only thing they seem to produce is suffering. This is justified, however, as the nature of Curs>r means Beck materially benefits from forcing others to suffer.
