A great game that captures and depics the feelings of depression. great game that i would recomend 9/10.
I get the theme of this game. I've had many friends who’ve struggled with isolation and depression, and I only knew because I was always there for them—every time. To anyone dealing with these feelings: please reach out to someone, even to me. I love and appreciate you all. This game captures that emotional loop perfectly from one specific perspective. It’s raw, honest, and deeply relatable. The experience of feeling stuck, of cycling through those heavy emotions—it hits differently for everyone, but this game reminds us that people are here for you. You're not alone.

Für lau ist das hier vollkommen in Ordnung. Die psychischen Probleme des Charakters werden gut rüber gebracht. Kann man auf jeden Fall mal zocken.
道理我都懂,但这只蜘蛛为什么这么大 近大远小
Very short and sweet, it really hits hard at the end. great game.
Однажды MCA поспорил, что сможет написать самый короткий рассказ, способный растрогать любого. Он выиграл спор, а рассказ вы лицезрите на данной страничке стима
i hope he drinks himself into another crawling depression.
boring and mostly generic
A really unexpected find during my search through many Steam Games yet i'm very glad i found this. This game handles mental health in a really clever and interesting way that when you do find out, you start to appreciate it much more. VA work is well done, visually it looks great, gameplay is simple and understandable, it's a fun discovery with a powerful and simple message that everyone can relate to, possibly help people along the way which in the end is wholesome. It takes 10-15 min to finish the game but within that really short amount of time, it's able to tell the story it wants to tell in a convincing and engaging way. It's free so give it a try, who knows you might learn something at the end of the day.
My Friend The Spider is a short genius free narrative game. Its metaphor for depression and isolation is deeply intimate, emotional, and leaves a lasting impression. 8/10
