Very unique gameplay: You have to help a spider to escape a base by interacting with the environnement. Example, by opening/closing door in front of it, activate moving platforms etc... I only played the demo, it was a great memories
A heavily underrated puzzle game where you guide an AI creature as best you can through a death labyrinth. It does require patience as the little guy can't be controlled directly, but "learns" through trial and error, similar to many AI trainers you see playing video games and whatnot today. You control the various switches, levers, and trap components on the game map while it navigates through the areas. It was considered one of the first games to have a learning AI, alongside the virtual pet game "Creatures".
