Web Crafting, Insect Hunting Gameplay
You are a spider on the hunt! Build webs of your own design to trap and eat a wide variety of dynamic insects, each with its own behaviors and vulnerabilities. You must possess the agility and cunning of a spider to master the deep scoring system and top the per-level leaderboards in this unique, innovative blend of action, strategy, and puzzle gameplay.

Your Real World Time and Weather .. Inside The Game!
Prepare to be immersed as never before. Spider uses your location to reflect the time of day and weather in the game with that outside your window. Moths, fireflies, and crickets only come out at night. When it rains in real life, the rain also falls on Blackbird Estate. Play on a stormy night when lightning electrifies the top of the tower, or explore during a full moon when rare moths can be found.

Hours and Months of Replayable Content
Over 30 unique levels, each of which features redesigned gameplay in all 4 conditions, along with shuffled content and multiple areas, leading to countless combinations of challenges, collectibles, environments, secrets to discover, and high scores to master. Collect dozens of insects, multiple spider skins, and 48 achievements of increasing difficulty.

Solve Cryptic Puzzles and Unravel the Mystery
Welcome to Blackbird Estate, an abandoned mansion built long ago by an enigmatic secret society for a mysterious purpose, unknown even to the family who until recently lived here. Use the map to explore the grounds, collecting clues that can be pieced together to open hidden passages, decrypt secret messages, and uncover long-buried secrets. The clues may help you solve the estate's 7 puzzles, but you're on your own when it comes to the ultimate mystery: The Rite of the Shrouded Moon!

A Story of Spider Proportions
What really happened at Blackbird Estate? Slip under the floorboards and through keyholes for a spider's unique perspective on this dramatic story told in the background without text or dialog. Piece together the tattered tale of a mad inventor, a brave child, and an adventurer of the high seas who hides a dark secret. Search for clues at a crime scene, a faulty time machine, and a graveyard full of unexpected surprises.

Two Games In One
Play for high scores and the story won't slow you down. Or if you prefer to solve the mystery, you can ignore the leaderboards entirely. Do both for the greatest challenge, or neither to breeze your way to the exciting conclusion. Spider allows you to seamlessly customize your experience and decide what kind of gameplay you're in the mood for.

The real-time weather system is getting me interested in the game. Played the first one on iOS back in the day.

What aspects did you find mediocre? The controls are pretty much the same, but the second game is much bigger and expanded in terms of content, level size, insect types, puzzles, challenge, etc.

In short, what Tiger Style has done with the sequel to Spider is essentially a best-case scenario. The excellent features of the first game are preserved here, particularly the core mechanics that made that game stand out. That mechanic has been used as a jumping off point to create a considerably more complex gaming experience, with more satisfying and well-integrated puzzle gameplay, higher challenge, and levels of a far greater size than those in the first. While you're working with the same bag of tricks, the game asks you to use them in new, interesting ways. They've also made major presentation improvements, an effort that enhances the odd atmosphere greatly. Rite Of The Shrouded Moon makes use of rarely-seen features of the platform to add to the gameplay experience, and it also includes a variety of optional side content to explore if you want a break. It's a better game, a cooler experience, and a must-buy for action-adventure aficionados and aspiring arachnids alike.

As a game, Shrouded Moon is the clear winner: the large variety of insects, massive and intricate rooms, and stage changes due to weather all create a hugely diverse world to explore and conquer. The tracked Mysteries—despite being forced on players—make the story easier to follow and uncover without wondering if you’re on the right track.

Your spider can crawl up a drain pipe on a clear day, but the same pipe on a rainy day will be inaccessible due to the steady stream of water. A seemingly benign glass mosaic will light up when struck by moonlight. A windmill that stutters and stops on a clear day will spin freely in the rain. These changes can affect where your spider can travel, but even when they’re merely aesthetic, they add a beautiful variety to the game that encourages replaying stages at different times.
