Our take on Sophie's Curse
The premise gives considerable attention to the house, the old man, and the experimental generators, but the stated activity is narrower: maintaining four lights during one night while an unseen presence drains their power.
What is Sophie's Curse?
Work as a nurse caring for an old man during a single night in a recently purchased house without electricity.
Four hand-crank generators placed around the house provide the available lighting. Something in the darkness causes these devices to become unstable and drain their power. The central task is to keep the generators running while staying in the house and protecting the lighting they provide. The setting combines overnight caregiving with a threat hidden in the dark, as the house’s new owners test generators made for the property. The job is presented as a small one-night assignment in a house whose old wiring still needs replacement.
