Spider horror games on GOG

Horror games with spiders in them, from giant pale crawlers in a mine and webs in an abandoned facility to a train that runs on spider legs. Some keep the spiders in one basement or cavern, others build the whole threat around them. If you are afraid of spiders, this is the list to play or to avoid.
