A thin silver line between salvation and the abyss.

The Spider’s Thread is a cinematic visual novel reimagining Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s classic masterpiece of Japanese literature.

【Story】

Deep within the horrors of Hell, the sinner Kandata looks up to see a single, glistening thread descending from the heights of Heaven. A rare moment of mercy from Sakyamuni offers him one final chance at redemption. But as the climb begins, so does the struggle between the hope for salvation and the weight of human greed.
