In Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor, you take on the role of a simple house spider. Make your way from the gardens into the mysterious abandoned home, building webs to catch your prey. Crawl up the walls and climb into crevices to find hidden surprises, and eat your fill of insects to grow strong. With intuitive touch controls, you'll be constructing massive webs with the flick of a finger.

As you make your way from room to room, your little spider will stumble across the pieces of the story of what happened to the former residents of Bryce Manor. Explore every room thoroughly to find every clue and solve the mystery the house holds within its walls. Be careful, though. There are other hunters around, and some of them have no problem making a quick lunch of you. You'll have to construct bigger and stronger webs to deal with some of the deadlier twists the game throws at you. With your human brain and spider skills, can you uncover the secret of Bryce Manor?

Uncover the Secret: Search every room thoroughly for clues about what happened in the abandoned manor. Observe your surroundings and solve puzzles to reveal the story!

Battle Nature: Not everything you catch in your web will lay down without a fight. Construct larger and stronger webs to ensnare bigger and deadlier prey!

Interesting Environments: Explore every inch of the house, from the garden to the attic and everything in between. Thread your webs across a kitchen, a dining room, and many more locations!

Intuitive Controls: Use touch controls to take full advantage of your arachnid agility and zip around rooms with ease. Assemble amazing webs with a few flicks your finger, or soar through the air in any direction you choose. Doing whatever a spider can has never been simpler!

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-05-15*

Passing grade.. very good🪳✨!

### 5/5 — Best game on iOS!

*2021-03-12, version 2.5*

I remember playing this yeeeears ago, still holds up.. such a great game!

### 1/5 — 3rd Game I've had for years now held for ransom

*2020-07-16*

Have they no shame? Are these 'developers' in the Pharma Bro Club? Buy up other people's work and then jack up the price?

Along with Space Miner and Aralon, these pirates are swallowing up classic favorites and forcing us to pay $4.99 a month to play games we bought and paid for years ago. 

(The rest of this is repeated on my reviews of the aforementioned kidnapped games)

Some folks got together and bought up a bunch of games and have locked them behind a monthly subscription plan. They say they'll let you continue playing free if you paid for it before. But they are either lying or are incompetent. They require an email to verify you bought the game, but then say the email is invalid (every app I've purchased since 2008 has been under the same email). 

They then tell me I can provide my UserID, from within the game that I can't access. 

Finally, they tell me to download any of their games, and they'll not only unlock it for free, but then use that game info to unlock this one for me. But guess what? I have to subscribe to get the new game first. 

Every path leads to a monthly subscription. 

Taking away what I have already paid for and demanding $4.99 a month to unlock it sounds more like a protection racket or extortion to me. 

Guess I'll just have to remember what this game was like since I can't play it anymore.

**Developer response:** The next update of all of our games should have a fix for the bug that requires email addresses for legacy updaters — we truly want to make sure that every person that bought the game in the past can keep it for free. (Apologies for repetition, we do need to respond to every review though the message will be similar.)

We all are huge fans of all of these games and want to treat the games, the devs, and their fans with the respect they deserve. We have worked closely with the devs and done the updates ourselves, in-house for each one of them to make sure they work on modern devices. This bug is one that we take super seriously and are rolling out updates for every single app so that this issue is cleared up.

I've continued our ongoing support email conversation with some clarifications and additional workarounds, though as I said the next update should take care of the issue.

### 1/5 — Damn you game club

*2020-04-02, version 2.5*

I love both the spider games but now there owned by game club and all they do is try and get you to subscribe to there trash. They make the app look unappealing and damage the reputation of these two GREAT games.

### 1/5 — NOT FREE, FULL OF LIES

*2020-02-12, version 2.5*

This game used to be free, now it lets you play 2 levels before telling you you’ve gotta get their dumb subscription no one wants. I loved this game and it was free, soul sucking corporations couldn't settle to ads.

### 5/5 — Thanks GameClub!

*2019-12-19, version 2.5*

Spider HD is one of my favourite games. It’s a GOOD concept amazing, Amazing backrounds, etc. It’s good to see there adding updates again.

### 5/5 — Awesome! Great game!

*2019-05-27*

This game is probably my favorite game. I love the clever details, and I also enjoy the hidden mystery. I like how there are different game modes to choose from. But the other thing I enjoy about this game is that the difficulty level is perfect. Not to hard, but not to easy. I could not find any flaws in this game at all! I just ask that you make more spider games. The first one is great, and I still have to try the second one,, but I still would like to have even more! I recommend this game to anyone!

### 5/5 — Childhood nostalgia!

*2018-07-04*

Doesn’t matter how much time it passes or how many time I play this game, it NEVER gets old.
Always enjoyed playing this game, plus this takes me back to my childhood too haha
Amazing job!!

### 5/5 — Thank you for updating this!

*2017-09-01*

I was worried that I would no longer be able to play this wonderful game once iOS 11 hit.  I am so happy that the game has been updated!   It's still as good as ever and still worth playing.  So fun and relaxing.  Clever game design unlike any other I've played.  Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Yaay an Update!

*2017-08-29, version 2.3*

Thank you for providing an update to this really nifty app. I was so afraid it would be lost when Apple moves to the next IOS as it had been too long. The tricky, sticky spider never loses its appeal. I come back it finding it just as much fun as when I first played it.
