♪ (old-school video game music) ♪ - "Sophie's Curse." - Oh no. Is this a horror game? - "Warning! Loud noises and jump scares!" Really? No, I'm such a scaredy-cat.
You have no idea. - This already sounds scary.
I don't trust indie games. They're always no fun
when you're playing them 'cause it's terrifying, but then afterwards
you're always kinda like, "That was kind of fun." - Let's just get this over with. - "Hello, please forgive me, I was in a hurry and couldn't wait
for you to arrive. Thank you so much for taking the gig." He crossed out:
"a lot of people turned me down because they believe
this place is haunted. (insincerely) Ha. Ha.
Can you believe that?" Yes, I can. - "My grandpa's already asleep. He's a heavy sleeper, so he probably won't
wake up during the night, but it's best to have you in there
just in case he needs help going to the bathroom or something." - It's the same thing
as Five Nights at Freddy's, isn't it? You're taking a job
that no one else wanted. Ha ha. - "I set four devices up around the house,
two on each floor." Okay, I should know that.
Four devices in total, two on each floor. - "These devices can hold
a charge for up to 12 hours and I just recharged them
so you shouldn't have to worry about that, but please keep an eye
on them just in case. (insidiously) After all,
it's still a prototype." - "It's still a prototype."
12 hours, my butt. - "If for some reason
one of the devices gives you an error, you can use the computer that I left
on the kitchen counter to fix it." - Okay, four devices around the house,
two on each floor. If one of them messes up,
go the computer and fix it. - Oh boy, click here to move. Oh, it's actually really dark.
This lighting sucks. - "Click here to move."
(running footsteps) Oh my god. I do not like this. - "Hold RMB to charge the device." So do I need to charge this? (crank clicks) (player pants)
- Okay, yeah, I get it. Now what? Why am I breathing heavily? I look-- click here to move,
click here to move. Ah, we'll go over here.
(running footsteps) - Where is, like, the laptop? - Can I use the computer?
(laptop beeps) Okay, this helps. "Henry?" Who's Henry? - "Hey, Robert! Are you still there? Is it true? Sophie is really in the hou--?" Oh, she'd better not be in the house. "Man, I wish I could be there!" No, you don't. Oh wow, they're depleting quickly. Okay, so I gotta go to B and C. C is all the way on the second floor. Crap! - So those are probably the lights
around the house: A, B, C, and D. - A is right there. (thunder rumbles) (running footsteps) I think this is A. (crank clicks)
Okay, that's B. - Uch.
(running footsteps) (crank clicks)
Okay, so that's A. - Do I really want to go upstairs
where grandpa is? (running footsteps) All right, in the bathroom. This one's C. - Ever since Five Nights at Freddy's
I've been noping out of everything. You don't understand.
(crank clicks) I'd rather just kick the bucket early
than have to deal with this, man. - Dang, this is a lot of running around. No, no, no, no. Please charge! Please charge!
Please charge! (crank clicks)
I'm scared! Oh, thank god. Okay. - Charge you up. Okay, this doesn't seem too hard. - Who even hires a person
for this sort of thing? I mean, honestly,
just do it yourself. Jesus. - I'm gonna go to the kitchen soon
and grab some water 'cause this person's out of breath. - Oh, we're already getting stressed out. ♪ (eerie music) ♪
Ooh, please don't be there. Okay, see? Let's charge it up. (player pants)
Everything's fine right now. - The first hour's gonna let you know
how everything works. - I'm scared shitless that
something's about to come out. It seems like--
(player sighs in relief) Okay. Checkpoint. - What if they're trolling me?
What if there's nothing and they just want me to believe
that there's something? (player sighs in relief) Checkpoint! That's good, right? So that means if I die then I can
come back to this point? Okay. - It's 8:01. So it's been one hour. (player pants) And... oh, now it
doesn't tell me where to go. That's just fricking great. (door creaks and slams) What was--? No!
(chuckling) The door just opened. - I'm shaking so hard right now.
(door creaks and slams) No-- oh, hell naw! (door creaks and slams)
- (gasps) No! What the heck?! Excuse me, no, you are staying
in that room right there. - Let's just wind this up. So that's for if a light malfunctions, but how do I know
if a light isn't working? (latch clicks)
(player pants) (laptop beeps) - "I'm doing some research..." - "Sophie was a good girl, 19 years old, a perfect GPA student, no criminal record. She was just a nice girl,
and one day she just disappeared." Yeah, well, she's in this house. There's a save point by D,
which is upstairs. - D means it's a save point. - I think that means
I won't get killed if I stay there. - All right, well, if I see her,
then I guess that means I just go to that one, right? 'Cause it's a save point? - Now I gotta get going to D. (running footsteps) (door creaks and slams) What? ♪ (eerie music) ♪

I told you I was a scaredy-cat! Oh my god! - Oh my god. Everything's
going down really quick. (crank clicks) No, no, no, no.
♪ (jarring chord) ♪ (gasps) Oh my god!
No, no, no-- (Sophie shrieks)
AAAH! (laughing softly) What was that? - Instead of coming back
to haunt innocent people who are just trying
to take care of the house, she should just go out and reapply
to college or something, okay? It's not my fault--
(player pants) You stay there! - This is like a game of hide-and-seek,
but if you lose, you die. Hoo! It's just all
the quick turns are so scary 'cause anything could show up.
(sharp pop) (rattling noises)
Oh my god. No, it's in the kitchen. What is that? (Sophie shrieks)
Oh my god! Oh my god! Hoo! What the heck?
That was so-- (squealing) She came out of nowhere. - I'm literally shaking right now. (crank clicks)
Oh my gosh, giving me the chills. - It's just the same three movements
repeated a bunch until the inevitable scare. It's tedious up until
the point where you die. Like, that's just-- that's like real life. Who plays videos for real life? - (whispering) I don't know what to do. OH MY GOD, NO!
Oh my god, what the hell? Oh god. Oh my god.
- (Megan) She didn't get you. - I know, okay! It's okay. I'm gonna tell her
that I'm gonna be her friend and it's gonna be good.
(Sophie lands hard) (gasps) No! I am not gonna be your friend
if you crawl on the floor because you are creeping me out. And why are the-- no!

Oh my god. See, she listened to me.
She wanted-- okay, we're chillin'. - It's relaxing, peaceful. Of course, of course, of cour--. (thunder rumbles)

Oh-ho, heck naw! (titters anxiously) - Okay, come on. I got this. I got it.

AH! AAAAAH! I'll take you out on a date or something.
Just don't kill me! - My heart is beating so fast.
This is not healthy. - All right, Sophie. Let's go. - Okay, I can do this. - Okay, the save point,
it's in the same spot, so we're good. - She's going down. So we're gonna quickly run

Crank that sucker. (Sophie shrieks)
WHY?! What did I do? I'm done. I'm done.
