My Friend The Spider

Its an interesting game, at some point you can press "E" on the spider and it disappears, but i didn't notice any change, is something supposed to happen?

Love how at the end you can just leave

Def liked the metaphors and atmosphere it threw me into from the very beginning. It took a bit for the message to personally kinda hit, but when it did, it really sealed the deal into making this game a pretty unique pick for me. Good job man

An interesting short game, very vibey!

My playthrough:

My thoughts on the game:

• I really liked the inclusion of the spider and it's metaphoric value, great job!
• The game is extremely vibey with the looks and sound effects, I liked it.
• For improvement, I think the door that opens/closes constantly could be optimized a bit by making it open only when you're further away from it and close only when you're close to it, so it can't be spammed.
• The voice acting is great, I loved it!
• It's a little unclear where and which beer bottles you have to grab, maybe a glow like on the spider would help.
• Would've been cool to see some stars at the beginning of the game when it turns dark, and to have maybe fog at the top of the hills so it makes a little more sense with the lighting.
• I recommend adding an outline to text as white on white can be hard to read, especially when you click on the door. (Example image below)

Overall, as much as I tried thinking of feedback notes for this game, the game as it is pretty much nails it! Incredible job, I enjoyed every bit of it :)

This game is very interesting and does inform us of the life and pain some people endure

I'm not gonna lie, cried in the end

it's a beautiful game

Gameplay pt-br

Well done!

I liked it was interesting really like the main convo you bring up surrounding depression and isolation also what a goofy little fella that spider is love him

Played this like a week ago but here's my playthrough. 

I am always a fan of indie games that attack issues like anxiety and depression and their root, and this game does just that. The game feels atmospheric, and it has pleasant pacing. It didn't feel too long or too short. I do however wish there was more interaction in the game. There were many times I tried to interact with just simple things in the environment like the piano when I was messing with the guitar, or the computer, but nothing happened. Maybe this was intended though; maybe the protagonist's depression was so bad that he didn't even want to think of touching these items.

games alot deeper than i thought. Nice job

noo i wanted to be friends with the spider :(

This game is beautiful

This was a delight to play. It was so irritating watching the character make these decisions but I understand the position he is in...

This is an excellent game !! Thank you so much for sharing this experience, I really love it ! <3

Good concept for a psychological horror; no silly jump-scares, just the dawning understanding that the character you play as is having some very real, saddening problems. Enjoyed it!

Don't know if I could ever deal with a spider that big in my room IRL. But I loved the message this game had, great job Dev!

for someone who works on the daily basis with mental health, I found the game incredibly self explanatory. Great job there. Keep them coming! 

The spider scare me a lot when he do that sound, and house he is like, good game, i had fun playng it, short but with good message, thank you Dev for making it,

if you want you can see me playing it here

This made me cry because I don't have good mental health. This music in this game calmed me so much

Spider.

Was a fun experience, very relatable. I wish I can see a spider that can lead me out of slumps! Hope you dont mind that I made a vid, looking forward to the next project!

i like spiders

are you still depressed please stay safe

A short game, but a huge message. Love it

This was such a beautiful game with such a beautiful metaphor of dealing with depression! I really enjoyed this, despite hating spiders with a passion! 

Great look into some lives!!
