- Maid of Sker, the Welsh-set horror game, is out now
- Available on iOS and Android, it offers scares in the vein of Alien: Isolation
- Evade Lovecraftian horrors and discover the secrets of this remote hotel
Maid of Sker, the Victorian-era horror game from Wales Interactive, is out now on the iOS App Store and Google Play. Taking you to a windswept island to face off against bizarre Lovecraftian horrors, this first-person horror title has finally made the jump to mobile after first debuting on PC.
Set on the fictional Welsh island of Sker in 1898, you play as Thomas Williams, who travels to a hotel on the island at the behest of inhabitant Elisabeth Williams to investigate strange goings-on. What he discovers, however, is far more horrifying than he can imagine. But even as he fights to survive, can he even trust the woman who brought him there?
Releasing now on iOS and Android, Maid of Sker is one of Wales Interactive’s rare non-FMV titles. Taking players to the isolated Welsh island, it’s a horror game in the vein of titles like Alien: Isolation, so if you’re expecting to shoot the place up like Leon Kennedy, you may be a tad disappointed.
