Spiders in Interactive Fiction

• Chronicle Play Torn (2004)

  > x spider (@ Basement)

  It's the body of a large spider (a tarantula?), hanging from a leather string. The spider is in very good condition; it's presumably dead, though you wouldn't be very surprised if it would be still living.

• Conan Kill Everything (2005)

  > x spider (@ Dungeon)

  It is a little spider with a furry body.

• 

  Cragne Manor (2018)

  > x me (@ The Book of All Your Days)

  A Weaver of Forms is a fine thing to be -- as beauteous and graceful as one is delicate and fragile. Clever of limbs and eyes and mind so as to encompass a myriad of creative realities. Your fate as part of such a continuity is much to be desired.

  > x tarantula figurine (@ Court)

  The form of a tarantula is unmistakable, but far from photorealistic; it's easy to make out stray chisel marks and brush strokes. The figurine is mounted on a circular base.

  Darkiss Chapter 1: the Awakening (2015)

  > x spiders (@ Spiders room)

  Probably the spiders were drawn by yourself. You have always had a passion for painting that over the centuries you have been able to cultivate with great effort, achieving - as in this case - remarkable results. At the moment you don't remember for which reason you decided to cover the walls with bats, however there are a lot, although you can't say exactly how many. By the way, you can try to count them, if you want.

• The day I hugged Ghandi! (2011)

  > x black spider (@ Deck)

  You, being manly, aren't afraid of spiders, but man, that sucker is big.

  Dr Horror's House of Terror (2021)

  > x spiders (@ Studio Menagerie)

  [if caged] The black spiders, each with a little red hourglass on their back, raise their front legs at you. [else] The spiders creep over the scenery, poison glistening on their fangs!

• Escape from the Arboretum (2002)

  > x spider (@ outside toilet)

  Actually it's more of a large pair of eyebrows on a spider.
  The spider has a big grin on it's face (between it's mandibles that is).

• Hangar 22 (2011)

  > x spiders (@ Bedroom)

  You don't see any at the moment, thank goodness. Perhaps they're hiding for fear of being eaten by you.

• Hippo on Elm Street (2015)

  > x spider (@ Living Room)

  It smells curiously like the cat who owns the house, but it appears to be some sort of fluffy orange and black spider.

• 

  The House of Mystery (2018)

  > x spider (@ Inverted Kitchen)

  Kill it with fire!

• 

  The Legend of Horse Girl (2022)

  > x tarantula (@ Stall)

  She's a cranky old dairy tarantula the size of a cow, with eight big hairy legs and a pair of swollen spinnerets. You're not the biggest fan of spider milk, but it's apparently pretty popular in these parts.

• 

  The Legend of the Missing Hat (2012)

  > x spider (@ Far Corner of the Bed)

  The spider seems to have vanished again.

• 

  Lydia's Heart (2007)

  > x spider (@ Closet)

  The spider is easily as big as a tarantula, but hairless and a gleaming milky white. It’s busily spinning its web.

• Mite (2010)

  > x spider (@ In the Small Clearing)

  The giant spider is covered in velvety, chestnut-brown fur but it hardly seems cuddly. Every so often, it pauses in its spinning to stare back at you with its inky black eyes. Perhaps it's considering what to have for dessert.

• The Mundane Tale of the Morning After (2014)

  > x spider (@ Far Corner of the Bed)

  It's a common house spider. It's not very large, but it looks like it won't hesitate to kill you if you bother it.

• MythTale (2002)

  > x spider (@ Garden)

  With a large, black body and eight long and hairy legs, it's definitely a spider.

• Rippled Flesh (1996)

  > x spider (@ Erie Place)

  The spider just hangs there in space, humming unknown spider show tunes. Once in awhile she takes a deep breath and you can sense her glaring at you.

• Scary House Amulet! (2002)

  > x spider (@ In the House (basement))

  • You see nothing interesting about the six-foot tall spider with glowing red eyes drooling acid on the floor!
  • Cool!

  Several Other Tales from Castle Balderstone (2020)

  > x spider (@ Counter)

  I'm not kidding: It was the size of a baseball mitt. I freaked out a little.

  > x spiders (@ Figurines)

  They were the tiniest of spiders, just little dots. But the more I looked, the more of them I saw. The place was crawling with them.

• Speed IF #2 (1998)

  > x tarantula (@ On the Street)

  The tarantula is a hideous creature with furry legs.
