What players say
Players are split on A Spider's Thread. Some praise its hint system and moody detective setup, while others find the puzzles obtuse, the middle religious section jarring, and the 3D environments full of visual bugs. Comparisons to Cyber Manhunt and Orwell are common, with most saying those games do it better.
