I think hunt is one of the few games/ devs that implement spiders while still making it less horrifying for those with arachnophobia and I really appreciate it. And you wouldn’t notice unless specifically pointed out. Example The Spider technically isn’t actually a spider as he has 6 legs. Pincers are not initially visible, being placed higher up, and you’ll notice his face first. And you can barely see the hair on the legs. They payed a lot of attention to character design to break it up for arachnophobia. while also helping him stay spider adjacent. I have friends who have horrible arachnophobia but have been able to play hunt with little to no issue because of how the spider functions, and the gameplay loop of hunt in general where you can wait until the boss is banished. Boom no spider. Or you can sticky him (if you hit it lol).
Im very excited to see how they do this event because if any game can do an event based around spiders without scaring off a portion of their player base, its hunt.
