Grounded 2 Minor Horror Aspects

[SpidersBane2022]

First off, I'm not saying make Grounded a straight up horror game. What I'm proposing are just some minor, vague ideas going forward to give it little hints of horror. It's already got some like the ****roach losing its head and coming back to life, and the praying mantis waiting in ambush to jump on you from above, or the scorpions bursting out of the ground. I love these little tastes of horror which make you a little uneasy or cautious while exploring. So going forward, I think they should keep adding little stuff like that, gimicks that are specific to certain bugs. Maybe there's a bug that actively stalks you while you're within its spawn area. I know the franchise already has a lot of spiders, but a trapdoor spider would be great for this. Have it be a bug that lives in isolated and specific areas, maybe have something on the ground to show where a hole is, but not too obvious so that people still have to be careful exploring certain areas of the map. Some of my favorite memories are when Grounded has felt unsettling, and I think bugs with a horror-esque gimmick would be fun and also realistic because being shrunk down would definitely be a bit of a horror show and some bugs are pretty vicious hunters.
