A demo for the game is available now on PC via Steam.

Check out the announcement trailer for Spyder: Agent 8 below.

“Sneak into a retro-futuristic 1970s spy thriller like no other! Spyder: Agent 8 spins a gripping tale starring the world’s greatest secret agent; one so tiny they can fit into the palm of your hand. Built by a group of scientists within an elite spy group, the Secret Agent Facilitation Enterprise (S.A.F.E.), Agent 8 is a deceptively cute robotic spider equipped with sticky feet that can infiltrate spaces no human spy could ever reach. Agent 8 may be tiny, but the mission is massive: stop the Syndicate of International Nasties (S.I.N.) and save the world.”

Spyder: Agent 8 is an adventure puzzle game where you play as the titular Agent 8, a tiny technological spider on a mission to stop S.I.N., using their ability to walk on any surface as well as a variety of gadgets and gizmos. You’ll explore large, exciting levels, avoiding detection to complete daring missions, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover secrets. From rescuing astronauts to sabotaging a submarine and stopping a speeding train, it’s up to Agent 8 to figure out the solution and save the day!
