SPIIIDERS

WARNING: This game is made with Game Guru (and therefore has all the common problems and limitations known with other Game Guru games.)

The setup is intentionally thin and almost parody-like in tone. You take on the role of John Iron, a hyper-macho soldier sent into a disaster zone after a biological incident has turned the local spider population into monstrous threats. This framing feels less like a serious narrative and more like an excuse to justify constant action, leaning into B-movie absurdity rather than realism or lore. Dialogue and story beats are minimal, and the game wastes little time before throwing enemies at you, reinforcing the idea tha…
