Purchased both fallout 4 and Subnautica. Gotta say that Subnautica is a freaking gem.
I want to play subnautica with a heart monitor just to see how bad my thalassophobia is lol
Lol that would make some good content.
Full noise canceling headphones + complete absence of light (block windows and door with black trashbags) + thalasssophobia.
Subnautica is a really fun game, atmosphere wise. Even if I don't really vibe with the whole "corporate space" stuff it has in the background. Good luck with survival!
Im pretty sure its making fun of that setting. Like when you first pick up Diamonds, there is a recording that says that everything you pick up is owned by the company so you would be indebted if you lose the stuff lol.
Yeah, that's what I meant. There's other stuff, like logs from other ships bemoaning having to respond to the distress beacon, because of how notoriously shoddy company ships are
Subnautica is a fantastic game that either helped me discover I had thalassophobia or gave it to me. My playtime probably got inflated by ten hours as I spent so much time sprucing up my base instead of progressing to the end of the story.
It balances the curated story elements so well with the open world survivalbox type gameplay. Not many games hit that balance so well.
Ive easily spent 4 hours sprucing up my base lol, my progression has been weird since i found the delani base very late and i just unlocked the core building for a base, i only had scanner rooms for like the first 12 hours lmao. I literally found the alien bases before the delani base, only through an alien portal did i find the island with the delani clues.
My base went from a single scanner room + vehicle bay with only solar energyr, to a full fledged 5-6 rooms base with alien containments+nuclear reactor+water filtration+ storage rooms+ bedrooms after i found the delani bases lol
