Probably need setting to remove it. But PLEASE do not delete any scary stuff it from the game. It really adds a lot of fresh air into runs

The devs are adding a non-scary stuff option that removes the gorey bits and reverts the music track back to the standard boss theme.

In the meantime, you can try and avoid this boss. It only appears in the scarred womb I which you can avoid by going from the caverns/ashpit into the mausoleum/ghenna. Or you could take the ascent path.

fyi, I have been reporting every comment that says this. It’s unnecessary spam, and rather disrespectful.

The gore isn’t really the problem. This game is already filled to the brim with gore, and gore by itself isn’t scary (especially with Isaac’s art style). The issue is the atmosphere of the fight. Making the music standard boss music without those unsettling sound effects would alone make the fight a lot more digestible, though, so that’s good to know.

I think the boss is meant to be more horror than action, sort of a bullet hell. its meant to invoke just how disturbing things are in game.

As I said in the OP, Isaac has never been a horror game. It has a lot of grotesque stuff and dark themes, but none of it is designed to scare the player. “Horror” isn’t even one of the Steam tags listed for the game.

So of course, if a boss that feels like it came out of a creepypasta is added to the game, I’ll have gripes with it. Fiend Folio has otherwise stuck with Isaac’s morbid cartoon style, so it even feels out of place within the context of the mod.

This isn’t criticism of whoever made the boss, but regarding the boss fight itself and concerns with its atmosphere for us timid people. I haven’t said a word against the mod creators.

well that's a you problem then. i personally like the inclusion of Cacophobia and would honestly love to see more horror themed bosses in mods. i'm a sucker for this kinda stuff. also keep in mind, there ARE more creepy stuff in Fiend Folio. for example The Sleeper and Mother Orb.

while yes the Fiend Folio team are pretty good with comedic stuff, they are also pretty good with horror and creepy stuff, and i hope they keep on doing what they are doing
