Good news for horror enthusiasts—Maid of Sker, a survival horror arrives on Android this September. This game has already left its eerie mark on PC and consoles, so we can’t wait to get it on our favorite platform. Let us give you a quick rundown of what to expect.
It’s 1898, and you’re trapped in a remote hotel with a blood-soaked past. You play as Thomas Evans, an unlucky chap who decides to investigate the sinister happenings on Sker Island, the same Sker Island that’s been the subject of a song ‘Y Ferch O’r Scer’, and a novel, The Maid Of Sker.
Unfortunately for Thomas, events rapidly spiral out of control and he finds himself the target of a bloodthirsty cult.
You’ll need to be as cunning and stealthy as possible to avoid the gruesome fate that befell those who came before you. The enemies hunt by sound. To avoid a run-in with them you need to be aware of how you interact with your environment. Nudge something off a table when you’re closeby and you’re going to have a bad time.
Their acute hearing brings some downsides though, ones to exploit. If you’re smart, you can use sound to defend yourselves and upset your pursuers’ senses.
If you enjoy a bit of culture with your horror, you might enjoy the soundtrack’s reimagining of iconic welsh hymns, like Calon Lân, and Ar Hyd Y Nos through the vocal talents of Tia Kalmaru, though that might just make it even more eerie than before.
The game is available for pre-registration on the Google Play Store, and we’re expecting the release release around September 10th. After the release, you can play the intro chapter for free, with the full game unlock available for $5.99.
