A tiny spider in a very big house

You play as Silky, a small spider with the run of a whole home while the humans are away. Every surface is fair game: walls, ceilings, furniture, even the aquarium. You can climb upside down, swing from web to web, and stretch strands across entire rooms. The house reads as enormous from Silky's point of view, and each room hides secrets and things worth messing with. Along the way you meet other spiders with their own personalities and problems, and you take on chores like cooking breakfast, fixing the aquarium, chasing runaway balloons, or helping Vera figure out the case of the mysterious Prof. Quack. Most quests can be solved more than one way, so how you finish them is up to you.

Building with webs and physics

Webs are your main tool. Stretch one from wall to wall to make a bridge, lift an object, hang it from the ceiling, or fling a strand at whatever is in reach. The physics system reacts to all of it, so a carefully engineered web that carries an object across the room works just as well as a chaotic mess of threads. Hundreds of physics-based objects fill the house, giving you plenty to connect, suspend, and knock around. You can also swing yourself to new heights with responsive web mechanics, and customize Silky with hats, shoes, and different levels of fluffiness.

Playing together

A Webbing Journey supports 1-4 player local co-op in both story and sandbox mode. Team up on chores and structures, or sabotage each other if that sounds more fun. Co-op currently works locally only; the developers are trying to add online play later if they can. In the meantime, streaming options like Steam Remote Play let you play online with friends. Solo play covers everything as well.

Before you start

The game is in Early Access, so content and features can still change. It is a sandbox first: there is no single correct way to build a web or solve a task, and the physics will happily turn a neat plan into comedy. Expect a relaxed, colorful tone rather than a challenge run, and give yourself room to experiment with what the webs can do.
