Cave Claustrophobia

[NapalmUnderwear]

Couldn't find a topic about this so here we go. Since caves are such an important aspect of the game and with the new update we see how large they can be I suggest cave sections that are extremely tight fitting where one must craw/shimmy forward on thier belly. These caves wouldn't be narrow sections like the current entrances but extended sequences possibly with some corners/deadends etc, potentially have some water passing through as well. If you want to add a claustrophobic exerperiance to induce panic, this would be the way.

Could potentially be applied to the diving system as well:

It would also be an added element of fear/panic if mutants could follow after you through tight passages.

It wouldn't work. I don't see this causing any feelings of panic, because we already know that we can get in or out of the space, which ruins any thoughts of whether or not you can get trapped as you might in real life.

It would just be an unnecessary and ultimately annoying addition to the game.

Now, it probably could be done in some way, like for instance, when crawling through a tight space, you have a certain probability of getting stuck, which would cue an attack from the front by a mutant of some sort if you can't get out in time. Getting out would require certain movements to be performed, which would be random every time. So you'd have to jiggle your mouse and button mash to squeeze your way through, failure to do so would result in death if the creature reaches you first.
