Arachnophobia Warning?
Really want to play this game but I really need to know, are there spiders? I've heard there are these hand-spider things but I saw one in a YT video and it didn't trip my nervous system into shock so I think that those are okay. Any real spiders?

Thanks in advance!

Ants! and hands but no spiders.

No, there are no true spiders in this game. The hand enemies are the closest resemblance to any type of arachnid. However, there are other bug-like creatures such as centipedes and giant ants.

From many times doesn't directly tap into phobias but creates creatures that still illicit that type of response. If you have tryphophobia, some undersides to monsters can trigger this. The hand enemy can trigger arachnophobia, and there are other examples such as decaying skin and open cavities on corpses and dragons.

Hope this helps.

You got your answer OP, but I'm just going to throw this out there... pests.

Not really, but the game does have Giant Ants and i absolutely hate them.

There are a couple of enemies that sorta resemble spiders though, one being a giant deformed hand and the other being the Revenants which is almost like a zombie with several hands (and one of the most obnoxious enemies as well...)

Theres also a mini boss called Grafted Scion which is kinda the same like the Revenant but more... deformed.

Oh good call, I forgot about the scion. Yeah, lots of spider-like limbs there.

Yeah, those are freaky. I'm not sure if this will set off the arachnophobia, but you should check out some videos on youtube before buying the game. Also, they are annoying as hell! LOL!

You're that scared of spiders that you can't play video games that have them? Is this a joke?

You should play Grounded. It's a fun game

What if you played a game with spiders? You know? Learn to deal if your phobia. Then you move on to real spiders. Find one, give it a middle finger and stomp it, LOL!

I'm terrified of heights, like, scared ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! Know what I did? Skydived! Best medicine there is to beat a phobia is facing it.

Fair warning: Those hands can be a bit triggering, depending on your type of arachnophobia - if the movements are part of it, buckle up.

It's not too bad though, and they are, well, hands.

Read a book or something.

Grounded has a literal arachnophobia slider.
And no, the game isn't that good regardless.

Not the point.
Not every type of phobia can be dealt with head on, this is actually dangerous advice right there.
