Inspired by the haunting true story of Elizabeth Williams, players take on the role of Thomas Evans, a musician thrust into a terrifying battle to save the woman he loves. Set in 1898, players are armed only with a defensive sound device and charged with keeping eyes open and staying alert as they solve the supernatural mystery that hangs over the Sker Hotel. Maid of Sker players will encounter: • A 3D Sound-Based AI System – This is the core survival gameplay mechanic. In order to make it past enemies with super hearing, players must master hiding, running, creeping, trapping and distracting techniques. • Increased Difficulty – As players progress, enemies become more difficult to avoid, to the point where standing still and holding your breath is the only option. However, run out of breath and – suffer. • Realistic 4K Visuals – Making the action even more chilling, the realistic visuals feature 4K uncapped on PC and enhancements on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. • A Multiple-Thread Narrative – Players’ decisions are especially meaningful, unlocking different story paths and multiple endings. • A Terrifying Experience – Taking inspiration from R.D. Blackmore’s 19th century novel, “The Maid of Sker,” and the original Welsh ballad, “Y Ferch o’r Sger,” the story is told in a truly sinister way, reigniting one of the most haunting tales in Wales. | |
