Introduce about Maid of Sker

The Real Sker House: A Wonderfully Haunted Place in Wales

The game merely adds a layer of horror on an already horrific place, yes really one did not need to add layers to more horror, but still Sker House is confirmed haunted. On both the local legend and tourist hive-mind brag, folks have been curious about this house for centuries–some lingered a while to see what all the fuss was about, others…ummm GULP…did not leave.. Game makers built off this to provide you with a nightmare-fuelled adventure.

Elizabeth Williams: A Love Story Gone Wrong

While it features numerous terrifying villains, Maid of Sker at heart is a game about a real person; Elizabeth Williams, essentially the protagonist of some tragic movie just trying to get out only to end up in this haunted mansion. Elizabeth’s romantic tale in real life ended tragically when her father prevented her from marrying the man she loved. The game folds this history into its story, and it is not the ice cream kind of heartbreak.

Watch Your Step: Some audio-based horror games

It might sound like a typical jump-scare game when exploring the Sker House in real life but all sounds will kill you. This is a game mechanic in which the premise hinges on sound being more of an active gameplay component to survival, or chilling interactions with your other worldly predators. At its very best, this game is like real life, where even the squeaky floorboards will send hearts racing harder than a kid who hears the ice cream truck. So if you’re walking around, do the ballerina tiptoe or you may just rouse something you’d prefer not to encounter!

Recent Nightmares: What Happens When Reality Turns Into Horror

Wherein the game developers took their creative liberties and stuck scarier stuff into Sker House. They took everyday events of terror: the fear of being alone in the house knowing its history, the stories of sadness that occurred within those walls and really cranked them to “sleep with the lights on” status. While the game’s villains and supernatural creatures were portrayed to be overly dramatic, the creepy emotions felt while playing The Sinking City have their origins from a pretty chilling atmosphere in relation to Sker House’s past. Your textbook, but with way more screaming.

Tourist AY! The Right Sker House

The good news is that you can visit the real Sker House — if you dare. Numerous tourists have trekked to this haunted mansion, hoping to see the supposed ghosts that haunt its many halls. But there are no promises that you’ll see any ghosts—though some on the ghost tour have reported feeling “something” while within 100 meters of the belfry. However, do not expect any ghostly dwellers to pass you potato chips; pack snacks for the journey instead.
