    One of the best horror games ever! An interesting, extraordinary story, magnificent music, excellent graphics, frightening enemies.

    Gostei muito da mecânica na situação do silêncio e uma novidade pôde colocar a mão na boca esperando sair uma nova série desse jogo.

    Fun game, not very scare. interesting storyline. Can be slow paced and boring at times. Would recommend.

    Interesting game. Some of the puzzles were not completely intuitive but the game was great. Lots of sneaking around and problem solving. Recommended.

    The story is the most important part of Maid of Sker, and it’s good. It doesn’t follow the original narrative word-for-word, but stays faithful to it. A good game for a Lovecraft fan. [Issue#248, p.41]

    Maid of Sker was at its best when I was navigating dark corridors unsure of what awaits me around the corner, while unsettling noises of the dreary hotel literally gave me goosebumps. Unfortunately, skillfully built atmosphere evaporated immediately whenever I met one of bland enemies and had to engage in a lame game of cat and mouse that quickly becomes a chore. [10/2020, p.72]

    A walking simulation song of cosmic horror at first, Maid of Sker has a story that loves to mix EA Poe and HP Lovecraft styles, a place with its own persona, and a great first part where the darkness and sounds effects keeps you in tension. It is a shame that the stealth mechanic and checkpoint system ruins the potential of a game where the bad guys don’t look scary at all.
