The guide

Overview

During the fall season this year lots there have been more spiders in the area so you were hired to go out and exterminate them. What they didn't tell you was that not only were there more spiders, but they are also a whole lot bigger than usual. Try to survive as long as possible, and if you can, try to find the 2 emergence holes and destroy them to stop the spider apocalypse.

What it's like to play

You start somewhere unfamiliar with a vague goal and not much else. An adventure game fills in the rest as you go: a path that opens when you find the right item, a character who tells you where to look, a platform that was there all along if you had thought to jump. Sessions are built from small discoveries, and the best ones stay with you.

How to play

1Spend the first minute exploring without a goal. Note exits, objects and anyone standing around.
2Interact with characters by walking up to them and pressing the action key or tapping. They often hand out clues.
3Collect items as you find them. Most adventures will not let you pick up something you do not eventually need.
4When a puzzle stumps you, read your inventory and the scene again. The combination is usually closer than it seems.

Why it's worth a go

There is a particular pleasure in finally understanding what a place is asking of you, and Spider Apocalypse delivers that without any cost or setup. No download, no account, just a Play button. It suits an evening more than a bus ride, but you can leave and return.

Who it's for

Suits curious players from about ten years old upward, including adults who prefer thinking to twitch reflexes. People who enjoy puzzles with a bit of story attached will get the most from it.
