Haunted Handheld: Welsh Horror

The critically acclaimed horror title, Maid of Sker, is making its way to mobile devices. Developed by Wales Interactive, this chilling game blends gruesome pirate tales, unsettling torture scenes, and supernatural mysteries. Initially launched in July 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, it's now poised to terrify mobile gamers.

Just How Frightening Is It?

Set in 1898 within the eerie Sker Hotel on the Welsh coast, Maid of Sker plunges players into a world of dark secrets and spine-tingling Welsh hymns. The narrative draws inspiration from Welsh folklore, particularly the legend of Y Ferch o’r Sger (The Maid of Sker).

Players assume the role of Thomas Evans, drawn to the hotel by his girlfriend, Elisabeth Williams, to investigate her family's strange behavior. However, the unsettling truth soon emerges: the hotel is under the sinister control of a group known as "The Quiet Ones."

These enemies are blind but possess incredibly acute hearing. The slightest sound will attract their attention, making stealth paramount. Forget blasting your way out; survival hinges on silent movement and evasion. Think A Quiet Place, but with a Welsh twist. A handy gadget provides temporary incapacitation, but it's not a foolproof solution.
