You know this maddening feeling when there's something you would want to experience, but at the same time parts of it makes you extremely repulsed to the point of not being able to enjoy it?
I have this with Rain World recently
I'm really enticed with this game. I am into hard platforming, I've been hearing lore is great (I'm trying to not spoil myself too much, but that ship has sailed), slugcats themselves, the music. Man, the music is great! I've had this earworming in me for the past week, the modular kick in and the bass are giving me serotonin lol
So, why am I such mopey about this game if its great apperently? Well, turns out (not really, I knew about it for a long time) I'm really skittish about any kind of insects and arachnids and this kind of creatures
And, well, if you can say anything about this game, its that its full of fuzzy weird longlegged creatures that would really like to kill you. And eat, it's post apo world, it would be just pure cruelty otherwise.
Point stands, even though they are on the other side of the screen, This creeps me out so much I've had bad time playing it when I tried it.
And I still want to play it, because I feel like I will have fun with this game, If I am able to overcome that phobia. And I know it's fairly irrational, especially since we are talking about digital bugs and spidery things, yet we still are here...
So, I'm going back to jamming to the music, and maybe try playing it today again...
