An upcoming Welsh horror game has drawn fire for featuring a private home in its advertising – and its owner is now considering legal action.
Publisher Wales Interactive announced survival horror The Maid of Sker last week using images of the real-life Sker House situated near Porthcawl in South Wales. It was the first time the owner of the house had heard of the project – and they were, perhaps understandably, displeased.
The real-life Sker House (pronounced “Scare House”) isn’t even featured in the game – the action instead takes place within a fictitious hotel of the same name, presumably to avoid the house itself being shown.
