Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Stormind Games and Wales Interactive have announced Sker: The Bleeding Veil, a first-person stealth survival horror game set in 1924 after the events at Sker Hotel. Players control Gareth Morgan as he returns to his childhood orphanage seeking his younger sister, while avoiding blind pursuers called Listeners who hunt by sound. There is no combat. It is scheduled for spring 2027 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The new game is set in 1924, after World War I and after the events at Sker Hotel. Gareth Morgan returns to the orphanage he knew as a child to find his younger sister. Sister Gwenllian, who once cared for the children, has gathered the former orphans again under a faith rooted in the song of the Sirens.
The enemies are the Listeners, who lost their sight through Gwenllian's treatments and now hunt by hearing. They investigate suspicious noises and search nearby rooms. A cough, broken glass, or poorly timed movement draws them in. Gareth uses a tuning fork on mechanisms and a spring-wound carillon whose swappable cylinders can daunt, confuse, or manipulate certain enemies.
