Mary Skelter 2 Coming to PC in 2022

I’ve really enjoyed my time with the Mary Skelter franchise over the years. The dark-fantasy take on fairy tale characters, along with the dark narrative, really makes for a unique experience. European publisher Ghostlight has announced that Mary Skelter 2 is coming to PC sometime in 2022, expanding the reach of the unique franchise.

For those of you that are unaware, here is what the press release has to say about Mary Skelter 2: “What must you sacrifice to escape fate? Find out in this nightmarish dungeon-crawling RPG! The Nightmare continues in Mary Skelter 2! In this first-person dungeon crawler, play as fairytale-inspired characters called Blood Maidens, each with deeply customizable character-specific classes. Balance between power and madness in turn-based battles with a blood-fueled transformation system and escape a living prison while indestructible Nightmares give chase in real-time.

The Jail – a living prison that feeds on the humans trapped within its confines. The Jail appeared a number of years ago with the caving of the city around it.

Now twisted creatures known as Marchens and treacherous Nightmares roam its halls. Otsuu and Little Mermaid are a part of a group of humans known as “Dawn” attempting to survive these horrors. They succeed in saving Alice and a young man named Jack on one mission. However, on their return back to base, Alice goes mad and begins attacking those around her. Alice strikes Jack, who was trying to protect Otsuu and Little Mermaid, knocking them down a chasm. Later, Otsuu and Little Mermaid awaken from the fall only to find Jack on the verge of death...

And so begins our tale of escape from fate, led by a group of girls seeking sanctuary in this mad world, and of the young man who would transform into madness itself – a Nightmare.

Mary Skelter 2 revisits the previous game by including the full remake of Mary Skelter: Nightmares. Improvements made in the remake have been reflected in Mary Skelter 2, for an even more intense experience!”

The Mary Skelter games are some of the most memorable RPGs I’ve played from Compile Heart and the Idea Factory catalog. Seeing them come to PC is really exciting, especially since that means even more people will be able to experience them. We don’t have a firm release date yet, but we do know that they’ll be coming sometime in 2022.
