Yes, spiders. Spiders never change. They eat insects and weave their networks in secluded places abandoned by man. This is to be done for several hours in the abandoned estate of the Lyhevyvyanian era. With love, drawn spiders crawls along any surface of empty rooms in the direction indicated by a finger (regularly by these the most directions), jumps on the “swatch” and in the jump can stretch a solid white thread. Compiled in a geometric shape – a triangle, a square or, if you succeed, even octahedron – threads will form a familiar mesh. If somewhere near the midge, butterfly or beetle are flying, they will capture and bring the octal hero glasses, a certain amount of which opens the portal to the next level.

The mansion is divided into half a dozen zones by half of the steps in each, and the stage may include several rooms at once. It turns out extensively and noticeably richer than in the first part. Sometimes even too, such as, for example, huge locations in the garden, where it is easy to get lost. Usually, all the action resembles a mixture of a puzzle with a said scroller: it is necessary to evaluate how to catch a variety of insects on the network, without wondering the reserves of Sheocha (it – and shells, and vital energy), and herald all the corners in search of passes to new places. In part of the rooms, the camera takes off under the ceiling, turning Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon in simple “spots” with eating ant. But the best thing is screwed to the main mechanics – these are the secrets of the mansion. In different (sometimes completely unknown) places, spider will detect the keys – the strange devices of the occult nature and the prompts to them.

These puzzles look like a bit of simplified puzzles from Myst. Sometimes they are literally forced to postpone the device aside and think about the information available, after the decision, bringing real joy … And they are logically woven into the script – open fresh zones, new shaggy multi-eyed characters and help to understand what the secret society was based in the estate. But for the “casual” audience of mobile platforms not too suffered, straining brains, secrets made optional for passing. So you can first eat every bug, and then start to solve, without being obliged to.

Another important goal, as will be used by spiders, can be gathering. On the one hand, you can slip all the rooms very quickly. On the other – there are incentives to come back and look for up to the last caterpillars. And these are not only keys to secrets, an online table with glasses and a bunch of achievements. This is also a collection of insects, some of which can be found only under certain conditions. For example, dragonfly flies near the wings of the mill only on a clear day, and if the weather for the real window is rainy or you will sit for Spider in the evening, do not catch it in any way. The system of time and weather affects the basic passage, but changes the levels and atmosphere, increasing the potential size of the game.One of the gadgets whose logic to solve.
And if you already talk about the atmosphere, then it is performed here with some Lovecraft skill. Hand drawn graphics, weathered in dark pastel colors and resembling the best samples of painting AR-Nouveau (which costs one greenhouse, which you want to hang in the frame on the wall). Objects of the era and traces of a person scattered by semi-free premises. Instrumental, injecting music, explicitly depending on the time of day and sometimes turning to the electronics, sometimes measuring the injection Suspantly. All this creates the same impressions that came to the gamers from old adventures, such as POST MORTEM or “M. Utopia”. It seems that the ancient evil will emerge out of the wormwort in the wardrobe and the spider who daring to approach the hidden meaning of black rituals. But the firefly flies out of the wormwort, reminding that the world of insects far from people.***
New Spider – Old-fashioned game in the best sense of the word. She envelops a soft but sturdy cocoon, brings a feeling of achieving from the development of their own skills and work with the brain and does not have time to get bored, despite the fact that it almost does not change its rules for the time while you are with her. Its problems are so insignificant that they fit into one sentence: such almost do not. So, it is not worth passing.
