Maid of Sker | Make Your Reservation at Sker Hotel on July 28
Make your Reservation at the Sker Hotel!
Join us for the hotel's Grand Re-opening on July 28th, pre-order from July 21st on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Introducing the new trailer for Maid of Sker featuring the spine-chilling voice of Tia Kalmaru with a re-imagining of a traditional Welsh lullaby Calon Lan.
Maid of Sker is a first-person survival horror, set in a remote hotel with a gory and macabre history from British folklore. At Sker Hotel we offer grotesque views, eerie forest trails, and blood-soaked beds. Be our guest but watch your step, make a sound and the Quiet Ones welcome you.
Now you've seen sound devices in use, you've seen the breathing mechanic, the sound-based AI enemies, the inventory system... now we'd like to share a few details on the save system (a common question we receive!)
Yes, you can manually save your game via our Phonographs.
We welcome you to indulge in the use of the Phonographs, a device for the mechanical recording and reproduction of sound. Invented by Thomas Edison, the American inventor who gave us the Electric light bulb, it transitioned into the gramophone, which led to what we still use today — the vinyl record player.
Our Phonographs offer safety, allowing you to catch your breath and save your game, listen to the recordings and unlock the mysteries lurking within the Sker Hotel.

From the publishing studio behind Late Shift, comes a new cinematic interactive sci-fi thriller movie for PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One and Switch.
After a major bio-weapon attack on London, two scientists find themselves in a locked-down laboratory with time, and air, running out. With choose-your-own-path style gameplay, your actions and your relationship with other characters will lead you to one of eight suspenseful endings.
We want to thank everyone for their support in the build-up to the launch. With just hours of being released, we've had some incredible reviews which we'd like to share with you :)
“A sharp, smartly written interactive thriller, with not a single one-dimensional character in sight, The Complex is (despite its theme) a joy to experience.”
“Wales Interactive has earned itself a reputation for being the bar to be measured by in the interactive movie genre, and I can’t wait to see where they go with it next.”
“Once The Complex enters full-on thriller mode, this compelling choice-driven tale of a trapped scientist facing terrorists and moral decisions doesn’t let up and even provides enough prompting and interesting options to weather multiple plays.”
That's it for now! We'll update you again very soon. In the meantime... how are you, the Steam community, finding our latest interactive movie? We want to hear YOUR thoughts!

Late Shift wins BAFTA Cymru Award (Best Game)
Dear Late Shift fans,
We have some amazing news to share - Late Shift won a Welsh BAFTA Award in the Game category!
Late Shift was nominated alongside our two other titles including our very own, Don't Knock Twice, and it took the win which gave us one hefty BAFTA trophy to add to our cabinet... setting it on a glass shelf probably isn't the best idea but we'll risk it.
Here's some picture from the night, where we were awarded the trophy by Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic 4, King Arthur, Titanic) and Gareth "Alfie" Thomas (professional Rugby player).
It was a fantastic evening and was even celebrated by Late Shift's director and producer... and even May-Ling (aka Haruka Abe).
Stay tuned for more great FMVs and Interactive Movies coming right up!
