I give this 4 starts for the story, well narrated, dry enough not to be overwhelming, precise in its description. 2 stars for interactivity instead: it doesn't feel much of a game (bar from a choice towards the end) and much more of a (very) short story.

Since it is not long at all I recommend you to play it, as the author managed to convey the horror quite nicely.

The premise of this game is simple: you wake up as a spider, you need to meet eight of your species to turn back to human.
The delivery is poignant. Life, especially as an insect, is cruel and there many ways in which our protagonist can find a premature end.
The only minor drawbacks I found are about navigating the rooms (it can be a bit difficult to render a mental map -- as with every IF, especially Twine).

The horror works well and is apt to your spider form. Recommended game!

This game is quick, amusing, satisfying and I am amazed how such a story is packed in less than a 1000 words.
Very good game itself and an excellent intro-piece to longer IF.

The game lures you in with the incipit of a story, but is essentially a place description: the complex really feels alive (or dead), vivid and part of a bigger narrative.

OK experiment in "map painting" ("location narrative"?), plot itself is not satisfying/fulfilling.

It is quite short so I recommend playing it!

Extremely short game with 1 easy puzzle.

It would be interesting to see the protagonist in another adventure.

Short adventure which eloquently puts our hero in the middle of the elements.

Style is dry and at the same time expressive, puzzles are rewarding, can be played in one sitting (20 minutes).

Very nice production!

All the mechanics & tropes & grinding of your run-of-the-mill RPG condensed in 300 words.

Fine as a critique to the genre and fun to play.

The first Act is marvelous and exquisitely crafted: perfect specimen of a "restricted choice" IF where the player still feels in control. Excellent experience and (for me) a pinnacle in its genre.

The remaining adventure (Act II and III) are less interesting/funny, but worth playing with a walkthrough.

I encourage you to play this Twine: despite being quite light on the "gaming" part, it is expertly written and touching.

The game sports "multiple ending", but I was satisfied with just one walkthrough.

It is quite short (say: half an hour to an hour).

Exquisite art, captivating story, recommended!

After replaying it, yes, I agree with other reviewers that some characters are a bit flat and some interactions may feel unrealistic, but still a very good production and presentation. Congratulations to the artist and the typesetter, excellent excellent work!)
