Eight clues, eight eyes, eight legs, four rooms, two people, one house.

You are Eight, a jumping spider living in Sam and Alex’s house. Something is wrong between them. Explore the house, climb the walls, cross the ceilings, and piece together a murder before it happens.

Seen through a spider’s eyes, the house is a world of slate wireframe. Things that matter glow yellow when you come near, and green once you understand them. Hunt flies to keep up your strength, leap from surface to surface, and trail a silk thread you can climb back up.

Then Friday night comes.
