The game tasks the player with the identification and eradication of a spider(s) in the house. Pulling out drawers, picking up potted plants, and checking under cushions, nowhere is safe. Once the creature shows its teeny tiny eight-eyed face, the player must kill it with fire, or a frying pan, or a shuriken, or a shotgun, or TNT, or an assault rifle, or a molotov cocktail… whatever gets the job done, and the job’s got to get done. These animals are crafty and they are fast, and the developer assures that the player will “finally learn the truth about spiders.” In sum, Kill It With Fire is offering comedic chaos through tapping into the instinctual (yet excessive) reaction to a phobia plenty of people have.
Me? I don’t find spiders scary at all, and one time, I hadn’t noticed that there was a wild tarantula with her eggs on a leaf… right next to my face. I suppose Kill It With Fire will satisfy those with a weaker constitution.
Kill It With Fire comes to PC in summer, and there is a demo available through Steam. Watch the trailer below.
