Maid of Sker is a first-person, stealthy survival horror title where they set you up real nice in a remote hotel with a messed up history from Welsh folklore. Don't act like you know anything about Welsh folklore, either. You know this is all new to you. Specifically... the Quiet Men!
"When they arrive, do not panic — don't even breathe."
Alright, alright, sure, a bunch of really considerate men who like to quietly shuffle around wearing slippers doesn't sound all that terrifying, but it turns out that the quiet men can actually hear really, really well, so you're the one who needs to be quiet. The game is based on a true story where you play as Thomas Evans, a musician who is battling to save the woman he loves. Set in 1898 in and around a real place that is still standing today called the Sker House, the story concerns "forbidden love within a family empire driven by torture, slavery, piracy and a supernatural mystery that suffocates the grounds of Sker House."
That's a hell of a setup.
The gameplay will be focused on stealth, exploration and no-weapon survival tactics with the ability to unlock different story paths and achieve multiple endings. A 3D sound based AI system is the core survival gameplay mechanic, so you'll be hiding and running, plus setting and activating traps with various levels of sound. Check out the trailer to get an idea of the plot.
Maid of Sker is creeping our way in the second half of 2019.
