リーサル・カンパニーが新しいクモ恐怖症モードで斬新なアプローチを採用

ソースノード: 3012302

ビデオゲームはクモが大好きですが、 arachnophobes obviously don’t, and we’ve seen an increasing number of studios attempting to find a comfortable middle ground – usually an adorable, blobby middle ground – for all involved in recent times. Enter developer Zeekerss, which has now taken its own delightfully literal approach to solving the ongoing spider problem in its smash-hit co-op horror Lethal Company.

Lethal Company – which has proven to be an unexpectedly huge success since launching into early access in October, remaining high on Steam’s top-selling and most played charts – runs the gamut of horrors, pitting players against everything from ghost girls and mechanical bees to eyeless dogs and spring-loaded mannequins as they scavenge its moon bases.

しかし、現在では this week’s Frosty Update、プレイヤーはバンカースパイダーが走り回っているときに恐怖で後ずさることを強いられることはもうありません。 8 本足の生き物に嫌悪感を持つ人にとって、ゲームの試練を軽減するというおそらく最も単純で効果的な試みとして、Zeekerss はクモ恐怖症モードを導入しました。 swaps out their scuttling heft for the word “spider”、問題の生き物がいるべき場所にコミカルに重ねられます。

Most game that’ve moved to incorporate arachnophobia modes have either tried to temper the horror with cuteness or abstraction to varying degrees of success. Developer Coffee Stain opted to クモを愛らしい猫の写真に置き換える in its automation sim Satisfactory, for instance, while Obsidian’s Grounded – a game with more than its fair share of creepy crawlies – let players dial the spider details right back through ‘blob with eyes’ to ‘innocuous circle’. In all cases though, it turns out being aggressively harassed by a leaping, skittering thing you can still hear scuttling about the place isn’t all that much less terrifying.

Lethal Company’s solution, though, seems to be a bit of a winner. No matter how many different ways I watch its arachnophobia mode enabled spiders attack, there just isn’t much of a chill to be had from witnessing six capital letters march across the room like a particularly determined piece of place holder text. Unfortunately, though, if you happen to be okay with spiders but have a sweaty, cowering aversion to mechanical bees and dead-eyed ghost girls, Lethal Company’s latest update isn’t going to be of much help to you.
