I like ling thematically but not in current gameplay, I think these ideas are really good and I hope you can impliment them. Looking forward to it.
But I do agree with some other sentiments that I enjoy the Horror form sprite and the spooks it gives a lot, but I can support that horror form ability in its current state sucks and its removal might be justified. I would like to see the horror sprite still used somehow else, does that make sense? Maybe if it was activated a different way instead of something you purchase.
All the other ideas are great though and I have no complaints. I hope it’s the start of a more comprehensive rework. Body horror fun.
Do you have plans for features beyond this? Perhaps with abilities or reworking stings? I also like the idea of decapitations causing headspiders that someone above mentioned.
