About My Friend The Spider
A small "horror" narrative game about isolation and depression.
My Friend The Spider is a 10-15 minute walking simulator where the player finds
themselves voluntarily locked in a room to escape and isolate due to their current emotional
state and befriending a spider that grows in size with the story's progression.
I originally worked on the game for a month and a half around October 2022. My idea was to experiment with the Unity engine in order to practice my coding and get used to the engine. I had a short story in mind based on personal experiences and thought it would be a good idea to flesh it out as a narrative "game" instead. Everything bar the art assets was done by me. My wife helped with the voice acting (and emotional support).
After releasing it, it got quite a few number of views and plays - seeing people's comments about how they were moved by it, I realized a Steam release was in order. I took my time, but after sitting down and fixing some nasty bugs and others (white text on a white background? Really dude?) I am now happy to release it on Steam and let it be free with a nice, deserved final update.
I hope you enjoy it. Take care.

It feels like there isn't really any plot or development. The game just has transition slide after transition slide. It represents depression as a spider, but it doesn't really address why or how the character overcomes it. Meh.
not worth a play in my opinion, and not really an expression of depression IMO. This was a person who had a bad week, and for some reason there's a spider. I will say this though, it's a pretty game that could have been much more than simple catharsis for the creator.
Idek I waited for this game for Idk how long and the spider didn't even speak to me sadly. I wanted a talking spider.
