Cooperative horror game Lethal Company has introduced an "Arachnophobia Mode" in its latest update, meant to cater to players who are uncomfortable with spiders. The Frosty Update allows players to replace spiders with a non-menacing, literal 3D model of the word "spider" which turns upside down upon being 'killed.' This humorous twist on the arachnophobia-friendly feature follows similar modes in games like Hogwarts Legacy, Grounded, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which modify spider-like enemies to make them less intimidating. The game, developed by Zeekerss, has been well-received since its Early Access launch on October 23, quickly gaining popularity due to its engaging co-op gameplay and proximity voice chat, amassing over 130,000 reviews and a 98% positive rating on Steam. Lethal Company has become a hit in the horror gaming community, with players enjoying the terrifying encounters and loot-hunting gameplay.
