Maid of Sker is a first-person survival horror game set in a remote hotel with a macabre history rooted in Welsh folklore. Brave the nightmares of the Quiet Men. When they arrive, do not panic — don’t even breathe.

Based on the haunting true story of Elizabeth Williams, you play as Thomas Evans, a musician who is thrust into a terrifying battle to save the woman he loves. Set in 1898 in and around Sker House, a real dwelling that still stands today and is said to be one of the most haunted places in Britain.

Expect a story of forbidden love within a family empire driven by torture, slavery, piracy, and a supernatural mystery that suffocates the grounds of Sker House.

A 3D sound-based AI system is the core survival gameplay mechanic. Hide, run, creep, trap, and distract are some of the techniques you need to master to survive enemies with super hearing. As you progress, enemies become more difficult to avoid, to the point where standing still and holding your breath is the only option!

Time it correctly and you’re safe, for now. Run out of breath and suffer.

Featuring realistic 4K visuals with gameplay focused on story, exploration, and no-weapon survival tactics. Experience a multiple-thread narrative where your decisions matter, unlocking different story paths and multiple endings.

We draw inspiration from R.D. Blackmore’s 19th-century novel, The Maid of Sker, and the original Welsh ballad, Y Ferch o’r Sger, but tell the story in a truly sinister way, with multiple endings that will be discovered depending on the player’s actions. Expect to play a truly terrifying survival horror that reignites one of the most haunting tales in Wales.
