My girlfriend and I *loved* playing Grounded together. It's one of the games we've bonded over the most. We were both a little iffy about bugs, but they were all just cartoonish enough that we didn't mind. We didn't even need the arachnophobia slider. (The infected wolf spider was pushing it though. Ugh) So needless to say, we were both super hyped for Grounded 2... until she saw that roaches were in the game. She absolutely wants us to play Grounded 2 together, but she *cannot* do roaches if they're at all realistic.

 

So I bought the game, I'm not quite as bothered by roaches as she is. She said she'd be okay if the roaches aren't "too realistic." Well, I fought one with her watching and *holy ***** did it go south fast! It wasn't so bad at first and she said it might be ok... But then its FREAKING HEAD FELL OFF and it started skittering away in a deeply disturbing fashion. It scared the heck out of me and I'm not even the one with the phobia!

 

Personally, I love the roach as an enemy concept. The idea of a bug functioning like a zombie and coming back from the dead is awesome! It was pretty fun to fight and startled me in a really fun way I wasn't expecting! ...but I'd also really like to play this game with my girlfriend, like we did with the previous game. She said she'd be significantly more fine with it if there was a slider for the roaches, like with the spiders. I don't think she's alone, either, as katsaridaphobia is fairly common.

 

Please, Obsidian, we loved finishing Grounded 1 together, and we just want to continue the adventure.
