Vivi l'isolamento e la depressione in questo breve gioco narrativo horror. I giocatori si rinchiudono in una stanza per sfuggire al tumulto emotivo e stringono un legame con un ragno che cresce man mano che la storia procede. Walking simulator per PC della durata di 10-15 minuti, offre un'avventura intensa di introspezione personale.
Il gameplay ruota attorno all'esplorazione di spazi ristretti, svelando una storia ispirata a esperienze reali. Sviluppatori solisti si sono occupati di codice, design e gran parte della produzione, con il supporto di un collaboratore per il voice acting. Questa simulazione è perfetta per chi cerca esperienze brevi e cariche di emozione.
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.
