In Toilet Spiders, there sure are a heck of a lot of toilets, and a heck of a lot of spiders
With a name like Toilet Spiders, it's not exactly hard to work out what's going to be creeping you out in a game like t…
Like the Fatal Frame games (or Project Zero for us in the UK) before it, its tension comes almost exclusively from that moment of anticipation before anything actually scary takes place - only instead of watching your hand slowly reach out toward an ominous doorknob, say, here you're psyching yourself up to lift a gosh darn toilet seat. Both of these are in preciously short supply throughout each major section of the facility, though, and if you don't have a flashbang to hand, there's simply no escaping your fate - the screen starts to shake, a black spider emerges, and that's it, you're gone. But in their current early access form, they're big cartoonish-looking things that are about as threatening as a warm slice of toast - which I'm actually totally fine with, to be honest (and no, there isn't an arachnophobia mode here, alas).
