Maid of Sker is a first-person survival horror game developed and published by Wales Interactive. Released in 2020, the game is inspired by the haunting Welsh folklore of Elisabeth Williams and set in a remote hotel with a grim history. Taking place in 1898, players control Thomas Evans, a musician searching for the woman he loves inside the eerie Sker Hotel.
The game focuses heavily on stealth-based survival rather than combat. Enemies known as the “Quiet Ones” rely on sound to detect you, forcing players to move carefully, hold their breath, and use environmental awareness to survive. The atmosphere is tense and immersive, featuring realistic 3D audio and chilling sound design.
Blending psychological horror with British folklore, the story unfolds through exploration, notes, and environmental storytelling. With multiple endings and a narrative-driven campaign, the experience delivers suspense, mystery, and emotional depth. The detailed Victorian setting and haunting soundtrack inspired by Welsh hymns enhance the dark tone. Maid of Sker is ideal for players who enjoy story-rich horror games with stealth mechanics and immersive atmosphere.
