NEW CO-OP HORROR SHOOTER SKER RITUAL 🧟🔫
About the Game

Brave the nightmares of the Quiet Ones. Do not panic…don’t even breathe!
Maid of Sker is a first-person survival horror, set in a remote hotel with a gory and macabre history from Welsh folklore. Armed with only a defensive sound device, you’ll utilise stealth tactics to avoid death amongst a cult of sound-based AI enemies.
Set in 1898 and inspired by the haunting Welsh tale of Elisabeth Williams, this is a story of a family empire driven by torture, slavery, piracy and a supernatural mystery that suffocates the grounds of the hotel.
Created and developed by Wales Interactive with a plot crafted by the writing talent and designers behind the likes of SOMA, Don’t Knock Twice and Battlefield 1.
Features
• 3D sound-based AI system as the core survival mechanic.
• Realistic visuals featuring 4k uncapped on PC (1080p 60fps minimum).
• A chilling story inspired by Welsh folklore fusing psychological, gothic and British horror.
• Re-imagining of famous Welsh hymns Calon Lân (A Pure Heart), Suo-Gân (Welsh Lullaby) and Ar Hyd Y Nos (All Through the Night) from the spine-chilling voice of Tia Kalmaru.

Thought this would be scary but did a close zoom in which made me laugh and immediately delete the game.
PWETTY QUELLL
I wish there was a "neutral" review option. Game's not bad. I thought it was "alright"; it's just that there's better titles out there, more worth your time and money. Go play the Amnesia or Outlast franchises instead, or Soma, or the Resident Evil games. This is just not scary, the "monsters" are silly, gameplay is janky and full of frustrating mechanics.
Enjoyed the play through. Bit repetitive in places but the spooky sounds kept me keyd in. If you like slow, intense horrors. You'll love this.
I liked the atmosphere and the plot. The stealth mechanic sadly just doesn't work properly. Standing still without breathing - enemie will get you. Running past them, it's too fast for them to react. This makes the gameplay rather frustrating than scary. Also a big factor for annoyance are the visuals. Good graphics - lovely. But most the time it's really dark and you can't see your path properly. Some might say it is part of the atmosphere, but for me i just don't like it. Overall It is pretty unique and i liked it tho, so i would recommend. But be aware - if you are looking for a good challenge in mechanics and combat, or a scary experience with jump scares, you will not like the game.
Abraham cheated and could see me despite being blind. I won't forget you CHEATER!
