Character Spotlight: Sophie
As we continue our character spotlights leading up to the Steam release of A Shot in the Dark, this week we're excited to introduce the vibrant and unpredictable Sophie.
Sophie, a college junior, fully embraces life on the edge. In contrast to Natalie (her more introverted twin sister), Sophie thrives in the limelight, fueled by partying hard and flirting with danger. But one has to wonder... what is she working so hard to conceal underneath her carefree exterior?
Tread carefully with Sophie. Many choices on her path will lead to trouble... Make the right choices, however, you might just reveal the softer, more vulnerable side Sophie typically keeps under wraps.
Likes: Partying, being the center of attention, taking risks Dislikes: Dishonesty, predictability, showing weakness Quote: "The only constant with me is change."
