The action of the game is set in a abandoned hotel in South Wales, known as Sker House (this building really exists and is one of the most famous "haunted" places in Great Britain). The plot is inspired by Welsh folklore and concerns the so-called Quiet People.

Maid of Sker is a classic survival horror, presented from a first-person perspective. We try to survive and solve the mystery surrounding the mysterious events. This requires exploration, proper use of objects, and hiding from enemies with superhuman hearing. The game doesn't feature any combat, but we have some tools for distracting opponents or dragging them into a trap. Importantly, Wales Interactive's game is not linear - the story can follow one of the three paths. The developers have alos prepared several endings.
Maid of Sker offers only a single player mode.
Maid of Sker has very attractive three-dimensional graphics with a high level of realism. The game can also has a heavy atmosphere, which has been achieved, among other things, thanks to the use of immersive 3D sound system.

Game Ratings for Maid of Sker Video Game.
Gaming Nexus: 5.5 / 10 by Eric Hauter
Interesting story beats can't overcome the fact that Maid of Sker looks and plays like a frustrating game from an earlier era.
COGconnected: 59 / 100 by Lewis Rees
There’s a genuinely good- even great- idea here but the gameplay and execution let it down, and the marketing cared more about selling something unique than selling something accurate. I got something close to what I ordered, but not quite close enough for me to want a second helping.
PlayStation Universe: 6 / 10 by Alan Strawbridge
An excellent premise, a compelling narrative, and an effective atmosphere of dread are scuppered by muddy visuals, an antiquated save system, and stilted gameplay mechanics lacking in new ideas. Multiple endings reward those who persevere though, so fans of folk-horror should sample the wares within Sker Hotel, but for most the game will feel stuck in the past.
