Maid of Sker

Maid of Sker is an immersive first-person survival horror game that transports players to a sinister hotel steeped in the dark recesses of British folklore. Set in 1898, the narrative revolves around the haunting tale of Elisabeth Williams, entwined with a family's legacy marked by horrific tales of torture and supernatural occurrences. As players explore the eerie environment, they must use a unique sound-based defensive mechanism to navigate the lurking dangers posed by AI enemies that react to noise. Developed by Wales Interactive, the game showcases a striking 3D sound system that enhances its psychological and gothic horror elements. The chilling atmosphere is further amplified by haunting renditions of Welsh hymns, particularly a re-imagined “Y Ferch o’r Sger,” performed by Tia Kalmaru, creating a truly unsettling experience as players unravel the mysterious and tragic past that permeates this foreboding setting.
