Possible Arachnophobia mode?

[CookieThiefEm]

As the title says, will this be a possibility? Got a close friend who loves horror, but absolutely cannot stand spiders. Was wondering if it was possible to add that mode. You know, replace them with pictures (Satisfactory), turn them into orbs (Grounded), make them Slime creatures, or maybe even turn them into a Cameo of Shrimp from The Upturned!

My friend says it's the legs, the skittering, and the head to body ratio of it. I hope you're able to see this, and I hope this change can happen!

Edit: I chose an answer at random to answer this question. Zeekerss added an official Arachnophobia mode, so closing this off. Thank you, and goodnight!

I'm glad that I'm not a part of a generation where being mentally disabled, scared of things and having anxieties defines me and somehow it makes me special in a good way so that I declare it in public even though it's obviously irrational... it's not a low-key indication of your superior intellect or superhuman empathy... it's just a clear and obvious indication that you have an inability to cope with something normally and in a healthy way like the rest of humanity... it's a bad thing. not a good thing... it's not good - in like any way.
So... play the game or don't - but publicly announcing your inability to cope with reality is not something that you should impose on others and you should probably seek professional help instead so that other people aren't forced to be desensitized to your condition.
I miss the times where people were justifiably ashamed or humiliated by their inabilities and strived to improve themselves NOT force everyone else to kowtow, placate and celebrate their sickness. Society was stronger and better for it... now we're becoming increasingly pathetic. This post is an amazingly prudent, miserable but perfect sign of the times.
God help us.

Actually, I secretly want to say...
Arachnophobia is cool! Being mentally f'd-up means you're a super-empath or super intelligent! I wish I had a mental ailment or phobia or was on the spectrum... I feel like I have the worst luck being a hard-working, successful guy who makes a lot of money and is healthy so I don't have anyone to blame or complain to.
You guys are lucky. Sorry, I know you don't feel like it but man, I wish I was like you people... scared of spiders so that I could tell people all about it and feel special.
I mean, why don't I get any of that luck... scared of words, scared of spiders, scared of criticism...
Man. Some people are so lucky.

Do the world a favor and play a volleyball set with a barrel cactus, so you can never type your idiocy again.

As for the topic, an arachnophobia mode that replaces the spiders with an enemy from The Upturned would be pretty cool. Good marketing for Zeekerss' other projects.

Its a horror game, go play something else if you cant handle a spider

A few hours ago, I posted an arachnophobia mod to Thunderstore that completely gets rid of spiders from every level. It has been tested thoroughly, and only the game host needs to have it downloaded. You can find it under "F_CKSpiders" on the Lethal Company Thunderstore mod page. Let me know if you need any help installing, although there are many guides in the Discord as well.

I'm arachnophobic but in this game spider is not scary at all, he is moving slowly and mostly staying in one place which makes him easily avoidable most of the time. Also if someone want to be scared less of spiders in videogames try to combat them in games, both Minecraft and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic helped me a lot. I was super scared and shocked when I first encountered them but I still took a fight, did this every single time and that feeling of shock and fear was gone after a few attempts.

Actually, good point about the dodging, usually you see its webs long before you see the spider itself, so staying clear of any web infested areas usually avoids the spider pretty well.

It's actually crazy how many idiots litter these threads about a very valid complaint, saying it's better to just "face your fears" or "just play a different game" or whatever, really shows how immature people have become when they can hide their faces behind a screen.

I also have arachnophobia and even though I can manage the game (even played Grounded without the safe mode turned on) but these things definitely make my skin crawl regardless. Biggest horror in this game is me seeing webs or god forbid, turning a corner and seeing one clinging to the wall of ceiling. It's not even in the sense of scary, it's a full-on dreadful reaction that just stiffens me up and gives me a fight-or-flight reflex. Won't stop me from playing the game as even though I literally ♥♥♥♥ myself when I hear or see one of the spiders, but just neglecting the people that love the game but have similar issues is really saddening to see.

Whoever disregards it as a valid complaint and doesn't understand why, REALLY needs to take a long look in the mirror and realize what kind of ♥♥♥♥ comes out of their mouth. Nobody said they want to change YOUR experience of the game. Touch some grass if other people's issues bother you so much, like damn.

The amount of extremely tone deaf people here who cannot comprehend how phobia works. Horror games raise your heart rate a bit but you mostly feel chill down your spine.
Depending on how strong the phobia is it goes from extreme heart rate increase and psychosis to borderline mental shutdown and fainting. I love scary stuff, zombies killers maniacs aliens it's exciting but spiders? I literally have a mental breakdown and start crying

Yeah... some people really dont know what Phobias are, and there are ways to manage and deal with them. Like i got a phobia for heights, how do i deal with it in games? exposure thanks to a certain survival game, but irl oh boy, i avoid elevators like the plague and i'd rather walk 20 flights of stairs, and then just never look out the window lol. Got Arachnaphobia too, not as bad as some of the folks posted here, If i see one in a game, and it has my triggers, i will just scream, turn and just run, already happened once, just ran into the abyss lmao.

What people dont seem to realize is that Phobias are irrational and abnormal fears, and as someone said, exposure therapy really helps, but it is not an option for everyone, and there have been cases where its gotten worse for people. And what people here seem to struggle with is that yes, fears are absolutely normal, a phobia is not. It is not just 'scary' to them. It's like you're asking them to jump into a pit filled with spikes, completely voluntarily.

[wow so funny]

I cannot stand spiders personally, i got really anxious when i see some

in this game, i just take it upon myself because...it is a game

[Roland]

All the comments of "it is a game just ignore your fears" are fake and gay, if you are afraid of spiders just let the fight or flight kick in and choose fight, youll have way more fun that way :D

People cant ignore fears

Its an irrational fear, even 'fake' things trigger it, its in the name of the word 'irrational' but people who didnt even pass grade/elementary wouldnt know that.
