April 2026
As a man who is both afraid of women and spiders, this is a perfect representation of both of those worlds colliding. I don't talk to women nor do I leave my home, and when I see a house spider or any kind of arachnid I feel the type of fear my ancestors must've felt when faced against an apex predator. The game starts off with the main character in his mothers room. He's surrounded by his mothers few loose panties and decides to head out of his moms room back to his room. It's not stated why the son is in his mothers room, but I'd like to interpret it as the son being a pervert, or he's trying to overcome his fear of women by being in a women's room. As he leaves the room he's met with the games true villain, a house spider, a heartbeat is used in the game to show the characters fear of spiders, very smart and clever. Upon finally leaving the room and bypassing the spider he goes to his room where he then plays a zombie game. The next rite of passing starts off with our main character in a sewer in the zombie game, he then kills zombies, collects munitions and then escapes. Once he's escaped we're tasked with finding three tires, a toolbox, and some gas, all while there are zombies chasing us and an even larger (presumably boss zombie) that follows us around. the boss zombie is slow and large so dodging it is quite easy and once we've completed the task we win the game. My thoughts on this playthrough section were good, it felt good lining up those headshots and one shotting the zombies, I for one enjoy the crosshair and gun play in this game, and I encourage those to do a rerun with the knife only. It's a bit clanky but once you get the hang of it the knife cant be quite strong. After we complete that midsection of the game our main character is disturbed by a doorbell, and a text from the main characters father. In short we're called gay because we don't interact with women and our father is fearful that we would have been gay. I find this text a good homage to how men with actual fear of women feel when societal norms face them!! Moving on, the villainous spider blocks our path, and we have to wait and let it pass. Once the spider has passed we can then go to the front door and check our peephole, on the other side stands a women, and our heartrate begins to spike from fear. Our main character backs away and doesn't open the door, because he is still very fearful towards women, he heads to the kitchen where he drinks some tea (or any kind of beverage) which seems to have some kind of sleep inducing pill and it forces us to go to sleep. Once we're asleep we reach the last and final part of the game, the nightmare, in this nightmare we start off in some diddy looking dungeon that is infested with both spiders, and zombified women. We work our way through the dungeon killing spiders, women, and even destroying some eggs, in this section there seems to be a man trapped in a cage, I killed this man, I perceived this man as the main character, and killing him essentially breaks us free from our fears. Anyway, after you proceed to clear the dungeon/labyrinth we finally make it to the boss room. The boss is a women who has the lower body of a spider and she casts fire balls, she's really easy to kill... Like really easy, if you died to her in this part then you're kinda bad.... Anyway after our main character slays this witch, spider, women amalgamation we awake, Again there is a doorbell and a person at our door, and again... The treacherous spider is blocking our path... BUT this time, we slay the spider... by stepping on it, and we answer the door, to a women, not having our heartbeat spiked. Essentially the game ends with the main character overcoming both his fear of spiders, and women, It's a beautiful ending and I wish it was this easy in real life, do I recommend this game? Sure, its 2 dollars, so you get what you paid for. Don't expect triple AAA gameplay or storytelling, but do expect some creepy scary surprises

An interesting little project. It plays well enough, despite the jank, and it has a seldom explore premise. I can't dislike it.

A decent fps made in Game Guru. The game uses store bought assets but at least has some artistic cohesion and acceptable level design. Gameplay lacks variety with only two guns and a knife for combat. Could have used something for crowd control (shotgun, grenade) to add a bit more depth. Ammo is plentiful though and cleverly placed in levels to reward scavenging. Levels have different goals to complete such as destroying a number of objects or gathering parts to repair a car. A much needed improvement over the insipid key hunting seen in most asset flips. Story is practically non-existent, with small snippets of text scattered around the environment in broken English. Despite it's flaws, the game is a decent attempt at the basics of fps creation and is worth the very cheap price. It's nice to see a Game Guru project with some ambition amid the deluge of scams that give the engine a poor reputation.

The game is quite short with a basic but interesting storyline. For the price, it's definitely worth it! Those who enjoy Cry of Fear-style games will enjoy this short game!

I got this game to get the cool background. I don't like killing babies or hot Spider lady. Good music tho. there should be a option to breed with the spider Queen and love her. I recommend this game only for those sweet backgrounds
