Everyone has phobias, right? Each of us has something that we can’t stand, something we fear. But, we keep these deep down, as though they’re a dark secret that someone might use against us – and, depending on what friends you keep, this is a viable worry. Still, they say you should face your fears head-on, but a delightful little game known as Phobies takes this idea one step further – what if you not only fought against your phobia, but dominated your fear and recruited it to serve you in a creeptastic army?
Well, I, for one, love this premise, and given I have two beings that I hold a deep fear and hatred of, I was all too happy to dive in, conquer my fears, and make them my bi… Friend. However, losing to them would make all my deepest fears and nightmares come true, which would make me sad. We’re on a slippery slope here, people.
Okay, so phobies are “fears made flesh,” they’ve taken on a form that allows them to haunt you in an all-new way. You think they’re in your mind, but they’re not. No, they’re right in front of you, so now you must do the logical thing, and dropkick that phobie into the middle of next week alongside your fear. Make this phobie yours. Become the phobie to that phobie.
