Pre-orders are now live ahead of the launch on July 28!

Inspired by the haunting Welsh folklore tale of Elisabeth Williams, Maid of Sker draws players back to 1898 to venture through the shadowy halls of Sker Hotel. Armed only with a defensive sound-device, players will have to keep eyes open and stay alert through the waking nightmare in order to solve the supernatural mystery that hangs over the Sker Hotel.

Pre-orders on Steam are available with a 10% discount.

Exclusively on Steam, all pre-orders will receive the downloadable soundtrack for free.
