Maid of Sker is a first-person survival horror game from Wales Interactive set in a remote Welsh hotel with a gruesome history. Playing as Thomas Evans, armed with nothing but a defensive sound device, players sneak through the hotel's halls avoiding the Quiet Ones — a cult of blind, sound-hunting enemies — while piecing together the fate of his lover Elisabeth's family through scattered notes and gramophone recordings.
The game blends stealth and puzzle-solving with a sound-based combat system: rather than conventional weapons, players rely on a sonic emitter to stun or repel the Quiet Ones, and must manage their own noise carefully while exploring the hotel's corridors and grounds. The writing draws on the team behind SOMA and The Bunker, and the hotel's dread leans on Welsh folklore rather than the usual jump-scare horror playbook.
