Is anyone else bothered by the awful eating sounds?

For most of the game, the sound design is pretty good altogether. However, maybe I have misophonia or something, but certain eating sounds in this game just send chills down my spine.

For example; the sound that plays when you eat a peach... *shudder*, it's like biting into a freeze dried cotton ball, I *hate* it. It makes my teeth hurt for minutes after even thinking about it, much less hearing it.

As someone who also has misophonia the sound doesn't bother me personally but I know it's different for everyone.

No.

i agree with this, hate most of the new eating noises like:
some of the eating sounds have the person eat with no manners at all. ex: mouth open mashing and smacking and slurping ... LEARN ETIQUETTE BRO!

[Puppers]

If you have not already done so, consider posting a suggestion for a misophonia mode in the Suggestions subforum -

Ixion had a rather loud example of this.

Among the characters who conduct the pre-flight briefing, the head of Cryonics for DOLOS Aerospace is eating during his segment and the chewing noises are quite noticeable. He pauses a few times to work on his meal, getting louder each time.

This was deliberately included to help establish that the guy is a glutton and greedy. His nature comes into the fore when we discover what he got up to after our experimental FTL ship trashes Luna.

The noises were difficult for many players to ignore and they submitted feature requests to add a "Misophonia Mode" to the Accessibility tab of Settings, to mute these noises, and/or complained frequently on Reddit, the Steam forum, and on the Ixion Discord.

Bulwark Studios obliged and added the setting to game.

Nope; it doesn't bother me at all. Hopefully they don't outright remove it but instead give people the option to turn it off if that's what they like.
