Please add an arachnophobia mode for wolfgang the centipede. This might affect a small portion of players, me included, but personally it really bothers me, like I can tolerate it a bit but it really makes me uncofortable. Maybe you can make like lethal company where the arachnophobia mode just replaces the spider with a cube with "spider" written on top of it or something" thank you.

an arachnophobia mode would be cool. but not just text or a cube to replace it. these devs are super creative, i can totally see them coming up with something cool that still adds to the incredible atmosphere theyve created. theres alot of possibility, it could even be something humorous.

I think it's just people thinking "The game is scary, so why should an arachnophobia mode be added?"

There's literally also the warning at the beginning too, that should be more than enough to cover it. In which is, if you can't handle playing the game because of a singular aspect, then you probably shouldn't play the game at all. I've had arachnophobia before, but with proper care and therapy, you can overcome it, so there's really no need for such a “mode” for Voices of the Void for Christ’s sake?

What about thalassophobia? Claustrophobia? Maybe even necrophobia? This is already infantilizing what's supposed to be a serious issue and well, like the definition, an irrational fear of said subject. So again, if you can't handle a centipede mother (felt like I needed to point that out) then like, I don't know, don't visit the caves then, or, worst of all, don't play the game. Then potentially, after all that's said and done, you should get some help to sort out that issue.

Edit: There's also the fact that if you were to introduce something like this, you'd have to also count the roaches as part of it, since centipedes aren't arachnids, they're arthropods. So it'd more or so be something akin to an “Entomophobia “Mode”, but even then, if we want to get really technical, shrimps could also fall into that category as well. (Calling back to the famous “shrimps is bugs” phrase)

Edit #2: Also ostraconophobia, but let's not get too technical here

Amen

That shouldn't stop the devs from making the game accessible to more people. Yeah the warning is there but making more people be able to play the game is a benefit to everyone

What's the point of a horror if it's not going to scare you?
