Arianwen, her daughter, has opposed her, and after being mysteriously awakened, you must join her mission to thwart the broadcast and save the world from descending into hell.

You could always find-a-friend over on the official . SKER ENEMIES The Quiet Ones have returned and they are not alone. Sker Island has recruited new elites, each with a unique set of abilities that will force you to change-up your playstyle, change your location, or enlist the help of your teammates! Old enemies aren't the only ones to curse the lands of Sker, we have many more new faces — even some without faces — that want to destroy you. IT'S A MIRACLE Killing enemies offer a chance to drop powerful Miracles . Look out for these, you’ll need them. A Miracle drop offers a choice of three random upgradable powers that buff or alter your shooting, melee, grenade and healing. A fifth slot is reserved for your Ultimate , a chargeable powerful action to save up for those sticky situations.

Buy stock munitions or gamble on a randomly picked weapon with a chance of gaining a higher base level. Climb the weapon ranks with unique upgrades courtesy of The Laughing Policeman’s SUPER CHARGER for bonus buffs and visible steam-punk inspired enhancements. 

Press reviews: “Sker Ritual Combines Resident Evil and COD Zombies Into Gory Perfection” Boss Level Gamer “Sker Ritual is more than an out of left field co-op FPS sequel to its slow-burn predecessor - it’s a darn good one, filling the niche some might be left wanting for by Modern Warfare II’s lack of zombies.” DualShockers “Players must join forces to contend with a Call of Duty Zombies-like experience that sees them defend themselves against waves of terrifying enemies. It’s more action-packed than it is scary, but it’s still one of the best horror games to play with friends.” 

Notes: Sker Ritual features violence, blood and minor gore and may not be suitable for all ages.
