Kill It With Fire: HEATWAVE

You play a licensed exterminator sent to hunt spiders hiding in ordinary environments. HEATWAVE is a free chapter built around turning this pest-control job into an over-the-top first-person action game.

Search rooms and inspect likely hiding places to find the spiders. Tracking equipment can help pinpoint them, but you may need to look behind or under objects—and tear through the surroundings—to flush them out.

Once a spider appears, choose from an expanding collection of tools and weapons, including fire, guns, explosions, and improvised hits with objects such as a frying pan. New spiders and equipment add variety, while level objectives and challenges give you more to do than simply finish the hunt.

Players often enjoy the absurd premise, especially how searching for a small spider can escalate into room-smashing chaos. Reviews also appreciate the range of ways to hunt spiders and the comedic tone, with some valuing the free chapter as a chance to try the idea. Some players find the experience short or repetitive, and a few mention awkward controls or challenging searches.
