I was one of the few (under a different name there) to ask if there will be a way to at least block out spiders on one of the YT streams and was super happy to hear that it was being done at the time. To see it actually in game makes me wanna cry (but in a good way). Although my phobia is kinda weird in regards to what sets it off exactly (I guess they're 'irrational' for a reason after all, like I like galvantula from Pokemon for instance of a one exception), I was freaked out seeing the wolf spider in the stream, bunch of pixels or no. So it being a toggle for those that are scared and those that are not is great.
Cattails is an old comfort game for me back in like 2019 and I like to play it to relax, so when something that was my worst phobia in the WW game I didn't want to deal with it I'll admit to where I didn't wanna play the game to avoid them. Extreme yeah, but less panic attacks the better. But I really have to say ty Falcon, as not a lot of people (if any in games) account for nor consider arachnophobic folks to make things easier on them, even less do they take the phobia in any way seriously. So I really appreciate it a lot. And it was what set me on getting the Alpha donation of the game and I'm enjoying it greatly. c''':

i was super happy about this setting too!!! i remember being very nervous ever since first seeing the spiders in i think a trailer? i was like "i guess i'll mod the sprites and make them something else,," but when i opened up the game seeing the setting for arachnids made me super super happy!!! i've dropped games before for having spider enemies bc i am pretty arachnophobic so it was super super awesome to see a game accommodate that for once

I've had to quit games like WoW because the spiders there get worse and worse (to where I actually quit during BFA because BOY that is where it's the worst to where I had to get off the computer for a week and I don't wanna know how ShL is like since I know they're there too x.x). I don't wanna have to drop another game thanks to me getting nauseous seeing them. And I think it being a toggle is the best option. As like I said in the OP, it's an accessibility thing, so for those that can't handle it.
But seriously bruh like this is the first I've seen arachnophobia accounted for in games at all nowadays. It's a very common phobia and yet I see them brought in every rpg game and whatnot. IK not everyone's gonna be considerate, but hey, it's a good first.
