Arachnophobia mode (suggestion)

[♡ misa soup ♡]

Personally I think it would be nice to have a Arachnophobia mode to enable or disable.

There's actually spiders in the webs and also whenever you pick up certain rocks it also shows spiders.

It's a Horror Game... so free horror for u ;P

Yeah but there's horror games that also have an option to turn it on and off so I don't think it's a bad idea

What a waste of development resources. Just don't look at them (you rarely ever see them anyway) or go play something else. The entire world doesn't need to revolve around every irrational fear people have.

they're not that bad. i myself have pretty bad arachnaphobia and had a few jumpscares myself, avoiding the webs at all costs. But this is 1 game where I've slowly just gotten used to it and just head long run into the webs, pick up a rock and it's just kinda whatever. Most of the time i forget spiders even exist in this game.

No need to be a dîck, it's simply a suggestion.

Well turns out you can't play the game anymore because those spiders, or rather critters, scurry away after you pickup a rock.

Imagine that.

They don't do anything but RUN away from you. Come on.

Its not like in other games where the spiders are huge monsters you have to fight where people with arachnaphobia will almost have a panic attack, where as theese are 3 spiders that appear randomly when you pick up rocks and they scurry away off screen not a threat to you what so ever and disapear, there are some things you just need to overcome

Honestly, I agree with you. If someone's phobia is that sever that they need a mode that removes something as benign as ambient spiders from the game, they need to seek therapy. I'm petrified of swimming and the shark, but I still do it and just kill the shark. I'm not looking or asking for a mode that removes it from the game.

It is literally a suggestion. I don't understand how people like you can't just agree/disagree without putting someone else down or invalidating anything they're feeling. If you can't be constructive, you shouldn't be allowed to participate in conversations.

I'm not trying to put anyone down. It's clearly a sever phobia warranting help if something as harmless as the visual spiders triggers anxiety enough to suggest a mode that removes them. I would think that seeking help to get past something that extreme is more supportive that being callous and telling someone to get over it.

I have some wicked thalassaphobia and played both Subnautica and Below Zero. Granted, it took about six months of "solid" on and off play to finish Subnautica.

And I'm better for it.

And I had arachnaphobia when I was young. I got over it by naming a spider in my shower instead of killing it. And there it lived for a couple of months until I got a new roommate and he killed it. I still have quite the response (moreso for anything that resembles a brown recluse), but I'm not completely losing control anymore. And video game spiders do not trigger anything (unless they're going to hurt my character, in which case it's the same response as anything else).

You have complete control to help yourself get over your irrational fears. Your choices are do something about it and grow or do nothing and remain unnecessarily fearful.

Sorry it came across that way. It wasn't meant as a personal attack against you, it was commentary on development priorities these days (though these developers have not shown this kind of behavior, so it wasn't directed at them, either).

Better play Tetris or fifa. There are no spiders
