Wales Interactive has revealed Maid of Sker - a brand new survival horror game scheduled to release across all major platforms - including Switch - next year.
The game is a first-person stealth survival horror, set in a remote hotel with a macabre history from Welsh folklore. 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. Events take place in 1898 in and around Sker House, a real dwelling which still stands to this day and just so happens to be described as one the most haunted in Britain.
You'll be playing through a story of forbidden love, wrapped up inside a multiple-thread narrative where your decisions matter, unlocking different story paths and multiple endings along the way. Objects can be picked up and used as traps with various levels of sound, with 'hide', 'run', 'creep', 'trap' and 'distract', being just some of the commands you'll be able to use. As you progress, enemies become more difficult to avoid, to the point where standing still and holding your breath is your only option to survive.
The game is scheduled to release in "Q3 2019" with both digital and physical editions on the way.

Will I be exploring Sker House? Well that depends on whether the light switches work or not.
clever and beautiful imagry, but I would have rather seen actual gameplay footage, too many times have I seen great possibilities and turn out to be rather disappointing, yes, I'd rather see the game and not opening scenes or cut scenes
I'm a little burnt out on FPS horror games with no combat. Once you've played one, you've played them all.
Also, and I right in saying this game is 'made of scare'?
Interesting. It's on my radar now. Hopefully it's more "Layers of Fear" and less... pretty much every other first-person indie horror game that's not LoF or Outlast.
You know the ones: low production budget, driven by cheap jumpscares, seemingly designed to be played by people who do Youtube LPs.
Looks like a lot of time has been put into this one. I’ll be getting it for sure! One more to add to my collection lol Wish there was gameplay to show off though, that’s always the main selling point.
Hope it turns out decent, if so I will get it.
@jhewitt3476 Yeah. I got some “Sadness” vibes from this trailer. Still, I hope this turns out well! I love to have horror games Maid to order if it’s fun!
Looks at the thumbs down and watches
Graphically it seems like a big step up from master reboot. I'll keep a look out for more info next year and hopefully it'll be as good as I think it will be.
Coming from Wales Interactive, I expect this to not be any good.
I will get this on first day. It looks so interesting
Hope is the mother of disappointment, but they have my interest.
