Now that it's June 2014, I am giving a 2nd review of this game and have added the 5th star. Why? This is quality gaming and a dying breed.
Today's games are more of just child's play--pick up sticks or ball and jacks and becoming increasingly difficult to find a game with challenge and plot and all the right stuff.

Today's games are more of just child's play--pick up sticks or ball and jacks and becoming increasingly difficult to find a game with challenge and plot and all the right stuff.
Web of Deceit was unworthy at the time of it's release to earn five stars compared to other releases during that time.
The game is excellent, however, the bar has been consistently lowered over time especially with the introduction of pay to play games.
We may not be finding too many of the truly great games any longer. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think so. Show less
I recommend this game!

I immediately loved this game because it automatically opened in widescreen, no black bars!
Gorgeous clear graphics
Choice of 3 modes of play : Casual - Sparkles for a HOS (Hidden Object Scenes) Sparkles not overbearing. Quick refill of Hint and Skip
Advanced: No Sparkles, slower hint and Skip refills
Hardcore : No Hints or Skips, although if you spend too long in a scene it will tell you there is

I immediately loved this game because it automatically opened in widescreen, no black bars!
Gorgeous clear graphics
Choice of 3 modes of play : Casual - Sparkles for a HOS (Hidden Object Scenes) Sparkles not overbearing. Quick refill of Hint and Skip
Advanced: No Sparkles, slower hint and Skip refills
Hardcore : No Hints or Skips, although if you spend too long in a scene it will tell you there is something or not to do in that scene, which could annoy the more experienced.
HOS are interactive and the objects are easily identifiable
Choice of Cursors, the Custom Cursor worked beautifully, nice and smooth
There is a Journal and map inside the Journal which you can use to Jump, which Everyone seems to like, I on the other hand like to wander, especially with a game like this one, as the graphics are so clear and colourful
Live actors, although the Audio could do with a bit of editing in certain scenes
Cutscenes can be replayed via the Journal, love this feature, a lot of the better Developers are incorporating this added feature in their games, adds to the enjoyment of the game IMO
Puzzels were different and enjoyable, some were a little hard for me, took me a while to figure out, even with the instructions, but that's just me
There are no Collectibles or Achievements (which is a shame, would have enjoyed collecting spiders or wasps)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Husband is killed and his widow uses his invention for evil. Your job is to stop her, and help a few others along the way, she has an army of spiders to do her bidding, there's a great fight between a giant spider and wasp, one of the cutscenes I replayed a few time, just loved it.
I'm quite a slow player and hate to skip puzzels, unless I really have to, and the game took me about 5 hours to play.
I thought the ending was quite abrupt, but a lot of the SEs are nowdays
Overall a fun game, easy enough in Casual mode but if you're afraid of spiders....Beware! LOL Show less

Loved this game. The graphics are gorgeous and the HOS are very clear and not too cluttered. I like the interactive part of the HOS. The puzzles were interesting but I did have to skip two. The journal is informative and the added extra of replaying the video clips is good. Love the transporting map as I get very fed up with a game that has me running back and forth all over the place. The only thing that dissappointed was the ending. It felt that there was more to come but maybe you need the collectors edition to complete the story. I have a number of SE that do this and it is very annoying. Other than that it was a great game, Lots of challenges and good length. Show less

Bought this as a special offer and was very enjoyably surprised. The graphics are excellent, including actual people as part of the cast of characters, there are good challenging games and plenty of hidden objects puzzles. Only minor drawback is some of the situations seem a bit contrived but that is a minor issue. Highly recommended - so long as you are not an arachanophobe.
I recommend this game!

I love this game. The graphics are great, the ambience is great. Nice and gritty and realistic like I like it.
Lots of puzzles which is my favorite. Not too easy not too hard.
HOS are interactive and fairly easy. Not too many which is good.
The inventory makes sense and not much backing up.
Great game for the money. Quite long too.
I recommend this game!

I am so pleased I have purchased this game, as most of you know, I am a bit of a "blasée" old biddy when it comes to HOS mixed with mini puzzles.
I have so enjoyed that game: challenges/mini games were very good and could have been a tad more difficult in my mind for advanced level
The story line was saved by the revelation of childhood upbringing

I hate spiders and I still LOVED this game! I played the other game in this series and it too was fantastic.
I can't remember who the game developers were but they should really make more games. There something about their games that just make you feel warm and fuzzy and really immersed in the game. They do this better than I've ever seen it done. The scenes were beautifully done the story played out throughout the game and I enjoyed their mini-games, which I usually skip! This game is far better than any of the newer games I've played in the last year! This is definitely a game I will play again! I've played quite a few older games this past week or so and I've really enjoyed them but this is by far my favorite, tied with Game of the Gods.
Give it a try even if you just use a free game coupon, I really think you will enjoy it. It's really worth full price.

- storyline is, as I sad interesting with lots of things going on. You witnessed one terrible event, young woman was taken away by mechanical spiders and now you are determined to find out what is going on
- 3 modes: casual, advanced, hardcore
- you have a journal and a map, most important is that you can use your map to travel around
- hidden object scenes are very well done, lots of interaction, beautifully done scenes
- puzzles were a bit more challenging than expected, but that was not a problem because most of them were fun to solve, so I enjoyed spending a bit more time playing them
Over all, pretty good game to play, I recommend it!
