About the Game

Arachnoid is an intense survival horror game where moving into an abandoned home turns into a nightmare. Clean the house by picking up trash, move boxes inside to unpack, and drive your car to complete various tasks. At first, it's just an old house with a few creaks and shadows. But as the days pass, you realize you're not alone - something is watching, crawling, waiting. The house is infested with giant, intelligent spiders, and they are not in a hurry to reveal themselves. Run from the giant spiders, until you find a way to fight them. Finding a shotgun, you are able to find and carry ammo to fight against these monsters.

Uncover the dark mystery behind the infestation while solving puzzles and completing quests to survive. But as the horror escalates, so does the fight. After finding a shotgun with limited ammo, you'll have to decide when to run, when to hide, and when to face the nightmare head-on. The spiders aren't just lurking in the corners - they scale wall crawl across ceilings, and hunt in groups.

With a slow-burning atmosphere that builds into heart-pounding terror, Arachnoid will test your nerves. Will you make it through, or will the spiders claim their next victim?
