The bottom line is that Elizabeth’s family was stealing a wreck and found a literal mermaid in a cage in the hold. It’s honestly tantalizing before the game shows what it’s got up to. Once you enter the hotel, you are greeted by a dusty, dilapidated building filled with tension. Maid of Sker The artists have done a wonderful job of directing. The ride to the hotel is without a doubt the best part of the game. So Thomas gets on a train and goes to the hotel to save her. Her family has trapped her in the attic and she needs to be rescued. You play as Thomas Evans, a speechless composer whose girlfriend Elizabeth sends him a letter from the Sker Hotel. I wouldn’t normally, but anyone curious about this deserves to know the main premise before buying. I’ll dive into spoiler territory for Maid of Sker.
