About the game
You got a job, which is to take care of an old man during the night in a recently purchased house; this house does not have electricity and you have to rely on some kind of hand crank generators to light the place up, but there is something in the darkness draining their power, don’t let it happen!

What players say
Could be a fun little horror game especially with the atmosphere but at the end levels it just drags on and the random deaths near the end ruins the experience

Sophie's Curse is from an era of small indie horror games that came and never really left. A short point-and-click horror experience focused around one or two game mechanics and a big spooky monster. It is nothing to shy from when you are looking to make a game, and quite a few of them out there manage to create memorable experiences. Although Sophie's Curse is not really what you could call a "bad" game, it is...
Sophie will get your ass! But don't worry, you'll be fine as long as you avoid eye contact. Keep those generators spinning and don't let energy drop. Check notebook for current safe spot and in case of power outage just make sure you're there in time! Listen to growls and make sure to get the heck out. Some sounds are just distraction, so keep that in mind!
