You were sent to find a missing team, but instead, you found the mine alive. Twisting deep beneath a scorched desert, Mine Spiders traps you in a nightmare of flesh, rock, and shadow, a high-intensity horror FPS that fuses the chaos of bodycam footage with the raw instincts of survival. The mission was meant to be simple: breach, locate, extract. But the moment your boots touch down on the mine floor, everything shifts. The dark isn’t still, it’s watching.
Then it moves.
At first, it’s subtle. A faint skitter along the wall behind you, a blur of motion just outside your flashlight’s edge. Dust falls from overhead where nothing should be moving. You turn, but there’s nothing, only silence thick enough to choke on. Then, a shadow splits in two. Legs, far too many of them, unfold from a gap in the rock and latch onto the wall with a sickening click. Your light catches the glint of eyes. Not one pair. Dozens.
The sound hits next, sharp, shrieking, and too close. It echoes down the tunnel in every direction, and suddenly they’re everywhere. Crawling from cracks, dropping from ceilings, bursting from nests you didn’t see. They pour out of the dark with speed and hunger, a living tide of limbs and fangs.
You’re not just navigating tunnels, you’re navigating terror. There’s no turning back, only the dark, and what’s waiting in it.

Combat in the game is unforgiving. It’s not about cover, it’s about motion, pushing forward through tight, web-choked deathtraps with brutal, responsive gunplay. Claustrophobic tunnels, flickering flares, and pitch-black corners leave you relying on muzzle flashes and muscle memory. You’re never prepared. You just react. The deeper you go, the more the game feeds on three things: panic, pressure, and precision.
As the swarm intensifies, so does the design. Spiders don’t wait their turn, they surround, leap, and close the distance in seconds. You’re spinning, shooting, tracking movement at the edge of vision. A third-person shoulder-cam kicks in during key encounters, pushing threat awareness into 360 degrees of twitchy, frantic survival. Forget traditional horror pacing, Mine Spiders runs on momentum and dread, forcing you to make every shot count while your nerves fray at the edges.
Halfway into the madness, the fingerprints of its creators begin to show. Built in Detroit by Nokturnal Artist, and unleashed by Monstro Games, Mine Spiders isn’t just another survival shooter, it’s a reimagining of what horror combat can feel like. The games vision twists the genre into something raw and unfiltered. There are no puzzles. No pauses. Just pressure. You’re not waiting for the next scare, you’re living inside it.
Each level descends further into chaos, with new weapons giving you just enough firepower to keep moving. You’re not solving anything. You’re carving your way through. The mine is collapsing. The enemy is multiplying. And you’re always one clip away from being overwhelmed.
If the film Arachnophobia made your skin crawl, this will shred your nerves. Mine Spiders doesn’t ask if you can survive, it simply watches to see how long you last. There’s no illusion of safety, no cinematic heroism, just raw, relentless fear.
This isn’t survival,
it’s extermination.
