An open demo has recently appeared on the web. Grounded – a new project with a focus on survival from the legendary studio Obsidian entertainment. The demo allows you to add up a first impression of a future game, as well as get acquainted with its bright features and study the settings menu, which offers one very interesting and atypical function.
We are talking about several visualization modes designed to help those players who suffer from a sharp form of arachnophobia or fear of spiders. Recall that the plot Grounded players take on the role of a brave adventurer, reduced to the size of an ant and surviving in his own backyard, fighting off a variety of insects, but, more importantly, spiders.
And it’s for the part of the audience that arthropods are terrifying at, developers from Obsidian entertainment prepared in Grounded a pleasant surprise. Starting the game for the first time, you will come across a warning that the giant (but in fact – ordinary) Spiders are a type of enemy. If you are not comfortable looking at them, you will be invited to a special settings menu where you can adjust a special slider that will change the external characteristics of spiders. You will actually be able to choose how spiders will appear in the game: from a full-fledged model to an abstract hovering sphere.
It’s important to note that “mode for arachnophobia “ is an exclusively cosmetic feature – option has no effect on gameplay. The same applies to cooperative sessions – each of the players is free to adjust the entertaining setting as he pleases.
If Grounded you are interested in and you have a desire to familiarize yourself with the project now, it can be easily done downloading a demo from the Steam service or digital store Microsoft (provided that you are a member of the program Xbox insider)
Full launch Grounded will be held next month, July 28th, on the Xbox one and PC. After that, the game will consistently receive various updates and edits.
