Grounded

A co-op survival game in which four shrunken teenagers cross a suburban back garden in which every spider is the size of a car, released into early access in July 2020 by a studio famous for role-playing games and played by a million people in its first two days. The record notes that the game's arachnophobia mode, which turns spiders into floating blobs, was its most-discussed feature.

I remember building a base inside a baseball at the end of the garden, and the ants coming, and the base being made of grass, and that being a mistake.

A Game Pass launch weekend in 2020, a group of four in a voice chat, three of them at the top of a juice box and one of them refusing to come out of the grass because of the spider.

The record notes that the premise is Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, that the studio said so, and that the garden's wolf spiders were the first enemy in a big-studio game with a slider for how much they should exist.
