good game

I have a little bit of arachnophobia and I was so scared I struggled to open the game but, VERY GOOD demo

Thanks! glad you enjoyed :)

Honestly, didn't realize this was a demo. I would love to see more days repeated throughout the gameplay, and exploring the character we play and whoever sent the strange package running the experiment. I would fall in love with that

Stay tuned for the full game that'll be pretty much that!

Super fun demo! Can't wait for the full thing!

Thanks for playing and thanks for the video!

WTF is wrong with this game's resolution settings? It keeps changing randomly like a schizo and always starts off at the lowest possible resolution setting making everything appear blurry.

Is there ANY way to exit the game besides alt+f4?

(+1)

No you can't exit besides alt+F4.. Sorry for the trouble, It's a very early prototype, many many things missing😅

And I'm not sure about the game resolution, it shouldn't change once the game starts. i'll look into it, anyway I'll release a polished demo in a few weeks that'll be much better!

Thank you for replying, sorry if I sounded moody, it was a bad day for me. I really appreciate the help!

Among the things you didn't know you needed : "Kill It With Fire: The Game"

💕

Looking foward to seeing what comes next. Whishlisted on steam

The Demo is way too short to get a proper impression of this game.

(+2)

Yes! It's very early. I'll release a longer demo with more features soon, on Steam and probably here as well :)

Good game really enjoyed it definitely looking forward to play more of your games

Thanks! :)

This got me feeling real uneasy ngl. Could've used a better jumpscare or something at the end but the earlier one got me for sure. Great atmosphere. 

I'm the fly to the spider

My boy got very very big...

As someone who doesn’t have arachnophobia, this game was fascinating to experience. 

Game is good, about 15 minutes of play

This creeped me out waaay more than I was ready to admit 😅 very good atmosphere build-up and general creepiness.

Spiders creep me out so yeah… this was a great idea!

LURKING

🔥🔥🔥


This spider was my valentine <3! Good game, keep it up 

Hello from Poland! I really enjoy the game and want more :D

Wurden sehr gut unterhalten.Gutes Spiel :)

Good game, that was super entertaining! :)

fu!ked good game bro

沒有特別恐怖,但看到一群蟲子還是會不由自主的噁到發抖

感覺給怕蟲的人玩會很有趣 ,

如果你不敢玩,一定要給你朋友試試 ψ(`∇´)ψ

I hate this in the best possible way. The animation for the spiders in this really do the trick in making me uncomfortable. I'm suprised at the restraint in jumpscares too! Overall good job by the dev!

ugh spiders are so scary lol.

it wasnt too bad if im gonna be honest. keep it up.

so nice and creepy survival game!

second game in… I hate spiders!


Random Scary Games #3 Part 2

This Was Really Fun!

Tried out your game!

Played your game and I have to say I have a genuine fear of spiders so i had a lot of fun playing this with the scares and jumps that came from me anyway good job and I cannot wait to see what else you create!
Show post...

This game was very good, wish it was longer tho

Pretty good game, just wanted a little more jump scares.

I have pet snakes in my room so the jumpscares wasnt that bad but ibcan imagine other people who doesnt like spaiders playing this game must be loosing there minds xD

Here is my video experience 

I'm Disgusted
