Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The hero of Tiger Style’s first iPhone release is a hungry little spider seeking out prey in a deserted mansion while investigating the house’s mystery. After getting over playing as a spider – think Charlotte’s Web rather than Arachnophobia – I found the game utterly charming. The primary goal is to create beautifully geometric webs to catch flies but while making these silken ladders, you’ll also explore Bryce Manor from a spider’s eye view. Moving at a gentle pace through 28 hand-drawn levels, this quiet game is an eightlegged triumph.
