a game ostensibly built from the ground up to serve as a safe space for mental health
I have a fear of deep water yet I love to explore deep oceans in video games.I have arachnophobia, but spiders in games have never bothered me.

It could be just an option to check in game preference, like Blood in some game, (Spiders On/off, on by default), but where do we stop ?
Thank god he was wearing a mask!A few years ago, on my way to work, I saw a spider crawling up my jacket sleeve. Forgetting that my phone was in the pocket, I tore my jacket off, causing the phone to land screen-first on the subway platform. Once, four minutes into a first date, I spotted a spider on the other side of the booth, leapt out of my seat, hit my knee on the table, and spilled both of our drinks everywhere. In fact, just last night, at my gym—don’t worry, it’s in the basement of my apartment building, and I always wear a mask—I saw a spider on the ceiling and let go of my weight mid-rep. Whoops!
Oh OK.One can reasonably suggest that video games with eight-legged enemies, like Torchlight III, are a form of such exposure therapy. One can also bug right off.

Don't play Subnautica.I have arachnophobia but spider in games don't disturb me (since they are not realistic usually).
However, the fear of deep/underwater gave me real trouble in old games (Half-Life, Jedi Knight..) Now it's better but I am always a bit scared when I have to go underwater in games.
I still stay away of all full underwater games even if some kind of fascinate me.
Haha don't worry about that .Don't play Subnautica.
How was watching The Desolation of Smaug?I have arachnophobia, but spiders in games have never bothered me.
Games or movies dont really bother me. With my phobia, its more if i find one in my room, thats when it really gets me.How was watching The Desolation of Smaug?
Flatten Breath of the Wild for my vertigo.If you started catering to every phobia, things would get a bit tricky.
I have it, a lot, yet spiders in a game rarely upset me. Just those in skyrim VR make me uncomfortable but it's not like I have to crouch beneath the bed in fetal position, crying.I have arachnophobia, but spiders in games have never bothered me.
Did you play Metro Exodus with head phones?I have arachnophobia, but spiders in games have never bothered me.
