Sept. 2024

Maid of Sker is really two games, not one. The first is an exploration mystery in which you try to rescue your beloved from a dastardly scheme of greed and murder. This mostly consists of working through levels which, although semi-open, are largely linear in practice. You look for the usual collectibles and lore, along with keys and McGuffins in the form of music sheets and cylinders. There are enemies scattered throughout, but the gameplay mostly depends on being patient and not getting too close to them. You have a means to heal, and one defensive mechanism in the form of a temporary stun device. So would I call this survival horror? Not really. The enemies are your basic patrol AI, which become antagonistic if you bump a piece of furniture or run or breathe right next to them. But survival is pretty easy since apart from one miniboss, the enemy paths are regimented and so I never really felt the tension of trying to stay alive. I'd call this an exploration mystery game. It's fun, and lastly around 6 hrs, doesn't overstay its welcome. The best part of the Maid of Sker is the sound design, which is rich and very immersive. The other game that is packaged in here is the Challenge section. I call it a whole other game for two reasons. First, the gameplay is fundamentally different. The enemy types are much more diverse and challenging, and you get weapons with which to kill them. So it's much more Resident Evil-esque. Second, there are four challenges each of which takes me about an hour for a single playthrough, and they involve navigating a reconfigured layout of the hotel to escape the labyrinthe. Each challenge enhances the difficulty, whether by having you play in the dark, fight only with a melee weapon, or get no lives (there are no saves on Challenges, so you have to do a challenge in one sitting). In some ways, I'd say the Challenges are the more interesting game, thanks to the wider variation in enemy types and the more interesting final boss battle to escape. But truthfully both games are not varied or surprising enough to be worth the money on their own. Only together do I think they constitute enough interesting playtime. Maid of Sker is a nice indie game for those looking for something atmospheric and tense without being particularly scary or intense. People looking for another Outlast or Visage should look elsewhere. I'd class this more in the same vein as The Vanishing of Ethan Carter or Perception or The Beast Inside. Enjoyable but don't expect too much.

If Resident evil, Outlast met a greek mythologist and decided to hang out with a Artificer. Not long, but very interesting, the story was well written, no secrets for another game, no stress or over achieving goals, no machines in fur suits chasing u, just a simple horror game telling a story and it is beautiful. highly recommend this game and would love to play/record more games you make involving this universe. keep it up!

April 2024

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. About The Blind Enemy 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
