Arachne is a bizarre themed dark fantasy role-playing game (RPG) in which the players take the role of a spider instead of the traditional human, elf, orc or dwarf character.
Seeing the world through the many eyes of an arachnid, players will face the dangers of their nest and other nasty locations, struggling to survive as they challenge many other cave dwellers in the everlasting battle to become the apex predator.
The game focus on exploration, survival and level up, presenting the players a multitude of classes specialized in different aspects of the spider, such as poisons, webs, stealth and even magic.
From tiny spiderlings that just hatched to the most terrifying creatures alive, find your inner creepy crawler and join the fray!

Locations & Enemies
Map of The Rift
The game takes place inside an underground dungeon called “The Rift”. At the left side there is a first draft of The Rift’s world map, indicating all locations and the pathway that connects them. Each location has a difficulty level and is populated by specific enemies.
Unfortunately, since the game’s production halted, only 3 locations have been completed (with maps and enemies list).
The Cradle
The Funnel Web
The Leftovers
Facilities
The next big planned update of the game was a facilities system, created to offer an automated rogue-like structure to the players, where they would venture into the dungeons, collect resources and spend them on facilities to enhance their abilities for the next raids.
This system would allow the same player to manage multiple spider characters and choose which one they would bring into the raid. Unfortunately, this feature was not fully implemented before the production halt. All the planned facilities are displayed on the left side.
