When I got to BOTM I was trying to imagine how it would look like on a modern engine and thought that the scheme was kind of boring, and I got to thinking about the human respiratory system. Since its in space it does not make much sense, but your nose is loaded full of hair, which is kind of similar to bushes or foliage. Since there is no cover it turns into a uber corridor shooter, its only benefited by the weird geometry of the area to prevent line of sight shooting in some places, but this often seemed like a hindrance to the AI units movements.

I see alot of opportunity to make it more creepy by adding something of the equivalent to hairs in the nose, at least in some areas, to provide
1) ambush points, there can be hairy non accessible tunnels with spiders lurking in them
2) dampened acoustics, the game is often a little non scary and the psychic radar is not super useful because the enemies are super loud. Perhaps in this area it would make sense for them to quiet down so you really have no idea whats going on.
3) limit field of view, provide cover
4) cool effects like the small spiders being submerged in the hairs but leaving a wake behind them to show their travel towards you since they are moving the hairs
5) beat up a physics engine

It does not make sense in a conventional digestive system but it seems the BOTM has interior lighting so why not some shaggy rooms, patches of shag, etc.

ok

This reminds me of that drug trip I saw in that movie while I was on that drug trip

perhaps you forgot to mention that you took the drugs in an outdoor screening of Them! in a swamp
