Spiders

[Akong]

You might have been able to delete them. I haven't looked very much into editing the files. There are times however where the spiders are pretty important to a section of the game. Removing the spiders would completely take out the challenge. But then again, if it is impossible to enjoy the rest of the game otherwise, it would be a necessary sacrifice.

Guess so. Funny thing is that it's worse when it comes to digital spiders. Must be because they are a "real" threat.

That's actually quite interesting. You are more afraid of spiders in media where they can't hurt you directly, only the protagonist of the game, than you are of spiders in real life, where, if they were venomous spiders, they could actually kill you. Of course most common spiders aren't venomous and therefore won't kill you. It's interesting nonetheless. I'm probably the other way around, though, to be fair, Penumbra has a strange ability to make you afraid of damn near anything.
