In brainstorming ideas for Fullbright Presents entries I've gone far afield, sketching up concepts for cinematic vignettes, digital travelogues, job simulators, single-room immersive sims, and yes, one darkly comedic, play-the-odds, randomization-based arachnid-centric non-combat survival horror game.
But Toilet Spiders didn't come strictly from my own imagination: my five-year-old daughter Juniper actually gave me the idea, when one day she speculated about what if a spider jumped out of the toilet and scared grandma— and of course my immediate response was, [i]well I could make a video game out of that.[/i] Now the game is out, and if you're able to complete it, you'll see that Juniper gets the first line in the credits.
The idea for the game ended up aligning with a number of other conceptual items I'd been wanting to play with: a game set in an abandoned research facility, a straight-up horror game, a game about managing your resources and tilting the odds inspired by the brilliant [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2835570/Buckshot_Roulette/]Buckshot Roulette[/url]. And so, for better or worse, TOILET SPIDERS was born.
"What [b]PSYCHO[/b] did for showers… What [b]JAWS[/b] did for the ocean… [i]You’ll never look at a toilet the same way again!"[/i]

So, the game is now in its first Early Access version, meaning it's not fully feature- or content complete, and I'm looking to you for input on balance and tuning, bugfinding and general feedback on the state of the game as it approaches 1.0. If you take the time to play the game (and I'll be so grateful if you do,) feel free to post on the game's [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3098700/discussions/]Steam forum[/url] with any feedback you may have! All input will be considered, and will make a huge difference to future versions of the game.
I do hope you'll check out Fullbright Presents [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3098700/Fullbright_Presents_TOILET_SPIDERS/]TOILET SPIDERS[/url]; if you dig it, please leave a Steam review, it's the best way to get more folks onboard!
Thanks for playing, enjoy (?) your time in my lo-fi hell world of giant spiders jumping out of toilets onto your face— and good luck!
