maid of sker? i hardly know her!

Inspired by an actual location with a dark history, Maid of Sker from Wales Interactive is a memorable, if imperfect, chapter in horror gaming.

Maid of Sker, is one of those games that doesn't have a great combat nor compelling story. But its atmosphere and enchanting music just drags you into the terrifying empty hotel full of beautiful set pieces. If you enjoy a short mini horror vibe with beautiful music/visuals. The game does so many things exceptionally well, the first 20 minutes have an atmosphere thick enough to make even Horror veterans sweat. When the enemies do show up it all falls down the stairs. I understand the "Not everybody is a fighter" mentality but the fact the enemies are blind men with bags on their head that just punch, kick or grab you completely destroys any tension the game had. At least give them a knife or something, any reason for them to be a bit scarier.


They... They're everywhere. Who? THE SILENCERS!
Don't Breathe. So they don't find you. Stay Hidden Or Run. You have to be 10 times more cunning!!!

The game does look gorgeous, the puzzles are fun and don't get repetitive and exploring the hotel is a treat. The story itself is predictable but still entertaining enough to want to see it through to the end. 7/10
