By far my favourite phobia and, by extension, my favourite list. Hope you keep updating it

@gman Appreciate it my friend! This list as well as the idea of a phobia-based collection of games was actually inspired by Nexpo's Thalassophobia video on YouTube.

I definitely try to add games as I seem them, and between you and me, this is probably my favorite fear collection of mine as well!
