10 Video Games That Trolled Players In INSANE Ways

10. Toggling Arachnophobia Mode Delivers A Nasty Surprise - Evil West

Given how widespread a fear of spiders is among the general population, it makes sense that an increasing number of games are including comfort settings to either reduce or entirely eradicate the critters' presence on-screen.

Beyond being a genuinely decent thing to do, it's a smart financial decision that gets more interested eyeballs on your game, too.

The recently released actioner Evil West quite laudably warns players before they visit a dank cave filled with spiders, giving them time to enter the settings and toggle the "arachnophobia" mode, which causes all the spiders to disappear and leaves only their webs behind.

But curious players who toggle the setting on and off again will get a rather terrifying surprise: an absolute s**tload of spiders flooding the screen.

It still isn't clear whether this is an unfortunate glitch or developers Flying Wild Hog simply toying with indecisive players. Either way, it makes for quite the pant-filling sight whether you're an arachnophobe or not.
