What players say
Nice graphics, can't complain there. However gameplay could be improved. Not a bad game once you get the hang of it.

Maid of Sker promises an atmospheric horror survival puzzle game, but doesn't pull through due to a lack of depth in the story development, flat characters, and boring, repetitive stealth mechanics that add significant game time padding. Despite it's beautiful environmental design, this game would have been better as a point and click adventure. The Welsh Folklore is barely touched on in the game.
