I honestly didn’t expect Huntsman to shake me this much, but wow—what an experience. This game throws you into a claustrophobic laboratory where you’re hunted by a giant tarantula, and let me tell you… it feels real. Built in Unreal Engine, the graphics are next level. The spider is disturbingly realistic—I actually started shaking a bit at the beginning because it felt like I was really there. Not exaggerating. The horror atmosphere is absolutely on point: dark, tense, and it constantly keeps you on edge.
The sound design, lighting, and environmental detail all work together to immerse you fully. You’re not just playing a game—you’re surviving it. If you're even mildly arachnophobic, good luck.
However, it’s not without its flaws. I ran into a few bugs that broke the immersion a bit. For example, when you pick up the red keycard on the upper floor, it looks red—but it's actually the blue keycard. That took me a while to figure out and was kind of frustrating. Another minor bug: after leaving the safe zone, the flashlight didn’t turn on automatically like it should have. I had to go back inside and leave again for it to work. Not a big deal, but worth noting.
The most annoying bug I encountered was at the very end—after killing the spider, I was supposed to find its corpse, but it just wasn’t there. I had to restart the game. Thankfully, Huntsman has a fantastic autosave system. It keeps track of every single thing you do, so I didn’t lose any progress. Huge respect to the devs for implementing that feature so well.
Despite the bugs, I’m still giving this a strong recommendation. The sheer fear factor, atmosphere, and realism make it one of the most intense horror experiences I’ve had in a long time. If you love horror games that really get under your skin—this one’s for you.
I can't say I'm afraid of spiders but I'm afraid of THIS spider, I am usually pretty grounded with how many horror games I've played but this game activates some primal fears. It's a must play unless you hate spiders
A major problem i have is the web fully stops you from moving. I just encountered this. I get the spider should get back and kill me, but i just stood there for almost 10 minutes doing nothing. The spider never came back. Had to just quit.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I just fixed this issue and released a new build of the game. I apologize you had to deal with that, thanks again!
Very Very Very big fear of spiders my body was on autopilot fear the entire time, I didn't realize how scared I was till I edited the video and I did not finish LOL but enjoy this video of me tweaking out for 16 minutes straight :)

I just got it, my brother is a severe arachnaphobic, he did not like my decision. Looks good
Giant enemy spider
This Game got me good :D
German gameplay here ↓
The game is very interesting. Nice atmosphere and horror moments.
Through the entire gameplay and editing session I just felt uneasy because having arachnophobia and playing this game was a terrible idea xD
I also tried this in VR with UEVR and yeah that takes the cake, it is so damn scary in VR because the spider is SO HUGE xD
Had a great and horrible time playing this game xD
Where is the add shortcut to drive button
PLEASE ADD MULTIPLAYER!!
Uhm is it ok for me to run the game even if my pc windows protection says not to because i really wanna play this game but i dont wanna get hacked
Yes, the game is safe. You can trust since there are a bunch of people who are posting videos of them playing and they did not get hacked.
