As a lifelong arachnophobe AND horror game nerd, this game does something to me that I can't entirely explain. The way the spiders move, the sounds of their legs tapping around, and their behaviors just hit all of the "ick" buttons in my brain. It's so creepy that I'm willing to say that this is by far the most stressful experience I've ever had playing a horror game. Such a good game though and I'm super excited to see the full release! The current build definitely has some rough spots but the length and complexity of the game make up for it.
Thank you for playing the game and I am glad you enjoyed it! Making sure those movements were right was a big deal to me so thank you! I'd love to hear the rough spots from you if I could! I am working on a full version of the game and would want to address those to try and make it better! Let me know, thanks
Hi bro, i wanted to say if u can add a multiplayer for like 5 Players, and proximity chat? All of my friends want to llay it together but it doesnt have any multiplayer or any mod :(
Really good game even if it stressed me out lol , everything looked so crisp definitely had some well spent time put into this. As someone already stated this easily has potential for some Alien isolation level experience. If there was any i wished is i wish it was longer but with more guidance on what and where you're supposed to do and go. If this is ever getting more content I'd replay this immediately. All in all this is Phenomenal!
There are a few reasons for no multiplayer. The first being the game itself. I want this game to be a single player horror game, much like Resident Evil or Dead Space and multiplayer just doesn't fit well with that. Second is designing around multiplayer is very different than none, and the game is already designed around single player. It has the capability, but there are not many horror games that have multiplayer and typically thats because it doesn't benefit the game overall. Thanks!
Hey! Unfortunately the game was not developed for VR but I did see that same video as you and I am not sure how they got it to work for VR i've never tried that before. I will however begin working on looking into how to make this into a VR game as many have asked for it! Thanks!
I will be uploading the link in a minute I am sorry. Something was broken in new build and I wanted to try and fix quick but its not playing nice. I will have to revert to an older build and then get work on fixing this. Download link will be back up in a minute
I just released a new build and must have broken something, i'm sorry that happened! What's supposed to happen is when it comes into your view and you get close enough the game gives you a message and ends. Pretty anticlimactic but I am working on a new ending. Sorry again and I hope you had fun with the rest of it
Great animation on the spider, and the idea of the game is spot on. My suggestion is to make the spider despawn after 30 seconds or so and respawn further away. I keep getting stuck in rooms because it won't leave. I'll hide, it will lose interest, and then it'll just hang out in front of the door forever. One of the times it did go away it kept glitching back and forth This seems to happen when I have everything I need.
Edit: Either that or give a weapon or deterrent to ward it off for a second.
Thank you for playing! I am actually working on improving that portion of its decision making and AI. I can definitely see how that would be frustrating and will get this addressed! Thank you for taking the time to give that feedback.
Unfortunately it is currently only available for Windows. I can for the next build shoot for making this accessible on Mac as well. I will reply here when done! Thanks for the interest!
yeah so this one actually made me sick to my stomach... Bravo 👏
But honestly, amazing job setting the tension and sheer sense of dread pretty early. I think this game genuinely confirmed my arachnophobia because on several occasions, my whole body entered Fight or Flight mode. I may have ran into a couple bugs (hah) where the spider ran up on me but didn't kill me but I'm not 100% sure. Overall, fantastic job and amazing AI!
Thank you for playing and the feedback! I did notice some of those bugs while watching and will work on fixing those for the next build. If you have any other things you’d like to see added or changed please let me know!
Also i too have a crippling fear of spiders. Years of studying my enemy has helped with the making of the game! Thanks again!
you killed it! I think being able to distract the spider somehow would be super cool. Also a way to get out of the web if you get caught 😂 Hope we can overcome our fear one of these days - cheers!
This game is AWESOME! It reminds me of Alien Isolation but with a spider. I really enjoyed it and the fear is REAL! The atmosphere is crazy scary and the AI spider is well done. It feels like it can be anywhere at any time. I love the spidery movements and at one point it moved so quick and scared the hell out of me. The sounds are awesome especially how you can hear the spider walking closer and closer. It would be nice to have a flashlight :) Super awesome game! You should make a sequel!
Just watched a Youtube video on this. Well done. Captures the horror of the situation extremely well!. Be cool if there were some small spiders that you could kill separately as well. Just an idea, not a criticism as this is an incredible atmospheric game as it is... it's ~almost aliens kinda class if you know what I mean.
Thank you I appreciate it! Please feel free to give me any criticism! I'm open to ideas and ways to improve for sure. I also have been thinking a lot about what I want to do with this going forward, and I have thought about adding more spiders, both big and small so I think its a cool idea! If you mean Aliens the movie, you just made my entire week!!
It's bad enough that I hate Spiders! This game was so well-made and the mechanics of the spider was so unique. Awesome job! I enjoyed every minute of it. Creepy for sure!
How I missed this masterpiece. I really love this game. The movement and overall the quality of giant spider is sick. Hats off and waiting for more games like this one. 5/5
Whoa. terrifying gameplay- if you weren't afraid of spiders before, you will be now. Huntsman shows off the true nature of the spider- this game captures how spiders sense through vibration so accurately, and the more terrifying part is how lifelike the movement feels. also, beautiful graphics! Worth downloading from your external link.
I play your game (and a couple others) and leave in depth feedback in the video below. You and friends can also vote for your game to advance in my channels tournament for best indie horror game of january. You can vote on my channels community page under todays poll. I'll be 3D printing a scene or monster from the winning game to give to the games dev.
Thank you so much for your video coverage on my game! I watched the video and have taken notes on what to improve. Glad you enjoyed the game and thanks again, I really appreciate what you do!
It would be awesome to see a 3D printed Huntsman Spider!
wanted to let you know that your game has adavanced to the second round bracket for my channels tournament! You and friends can vote for your game today through wednesday to advance to the semifinals!

Thank you for playing the game! I am definitely going to be expanding on this game so stay tuned! Thank you for the feedback it will help!
Can't wait!
I really liked it. The spider movement is super creepy.
super scary game had my toes curled. is there any plan to release multiplayer so i can play with friends? all in all scary game!
Hello Ziggy! Currently i am developing a full version of the game but multiplayer will not be a feature i’m sorry! Thank you for playing
Apologies, but how come multiplayer won’t be a thing for this game? Wouldn’t it be a great update? Or is the game not compatible for multiplayer?
There are a few reasons for no multiplayer. The first being the game itself. I want this game to be a single player horror game, much like Resident Evil or Dead Space and multiplayer just doesn't fit well with that. Second is designing around multiplayer is very different than none, and the game is already designed around single player. It has the capability, but there are not many horror games that have multiplayer and typically thats because it doesn't benefit the game overall. Thanks!
Another question: Will graphics setting be in settings so that it can run faster?
That is definitely coming and further optimization so that shouldn't be an issue in the future!
Even though i'm not arachnophobe, this did really trigger something with me lmao
Really great job I am looking forward to more of your games <3
Thank you for playing! I really appreciate it!
much love 🤜🤛
is there a vr mode to this? I saw someone playing it in vr but couldn’t be sure if it was the same version/ game
Hey! Unfortunately the game was not developed for VR but I did see that same video as you and I am not sure how they got it to work for VR i've never tried that before. I will however begin working on looking into how to make this into a VR game as many have asked for it! Thanks!
how to download guys?

wont let me download saying no compatible downloads were found
Hey! Do you mind giving it another try for me? I may have fixed it but not entirely sure. Also are you on Windows?
Is there a final or something?, I just find the spider upside down after using the toxic mix, i have tried to click on it but nothing happends

of course! It's such a great concept. I gave up programming because it's hard so your dedication to get this far is very impressive to me.
wont let me download it saying incombatible third party
Hey! What OS are you on? Are you using the Itch app? I see a few discussions on this in the past and these seem to be the common trait. Let me know!
W game tho
is it possible to play this on a MacBook Air?
Unfortunately it is currently only available for Windows. I can for the next build shoot for making this accessible on Mac as well. I will reply here when done! Thanks for the interest!
thank you, this game was amazing, great job with everything, very awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great job, man, I loved it. I hope when you finish developing your game, I hope you make another game, but the enemy is a cockroach, please😂
Thank you!! I could start making a whole series of animal and insect based horror games lol
Very excited👍
In all seriousness though thank you for taking the time to play the game, I'm glad you enjoyed it and it means a lot to hear that!
