The Subnautica of other fears
Subnautica is a game infamous for it's almost all ocean planet, underwater worldbuilding, and deep sea gameplay. It's also the bane of all thalassaphobia peeps.
So here's the subnautica of other phobias
Claustrophobia Fear of Tight/Cramped Spaces - The Forest Series : After a plane crash leaves you stranded in a strange forests, something increasingly becomes... wrong. The caves around don't help.
Scopophobia Fear of being watched or the center of attention - Brighter Day : A weirdcore horror game where something is definitely watching you and definitely following you.
Entomophobia/Arachnophobia - Grounded : You play a group of kids who are stuck in a "honey I shrunk the kids" incident. They are forced to venture across their yard, and survive the various common insects around.
Megalophobia Fear of very very very big things - The Utility Room : An experience. More of an experience then a game and fever dreamish, worth it, and mysterious all the way. It's almost as if the universe accidentally left one strange dev room behind.
Nyctophobia Fear of darkness - Amnesia: The Bunker (from the Amnesia series) : It's a first-person survival horror. You play a French man trapped in a bunker during WW1, while being hunted by something inside its darkness.
Autophobia Fear of being/feeling alone - Firewatch : You work in a national park in order to watch out for fires. Traveling across the Wyoming wilderness takes a complicated turn.
Hemophobia Fear of blood or bleeding - Iron Lung : What awaits you in the deep of a strange moon. Trapped in a submarine you have no choice but to find out.
Amaxophobia Fear of car accidents or being run over - Decimate Drive : After freeing yourself from a kidnapping, the world you wake up to is full of hostile cars.
Final Boss Games:
Lethal Company
Fun with friends :D
Genre: Indie Comedy Horror
Takes place on alien planets in outerspace
It's multiplayer, and very fun, but as soon as it hits the fan the sound design works hard to immerse you in the sudden loneliness. The games sound design is one the major players of Lethal Company's fear. As soon as a friend walks away the proximity chat teaches you just how separated you now are.
Before you know it you have had something unfriendly following behind you, and finally finding the silhouette of a friend in the dark you are betrayed by the creatures of the Lethal Company universe.
Fear of Darkness
Fear of Loneliness
Fear of Being Watched
Fear of Outerspace
The Metro Series
Genre: Survival Horror Shooter
You play the beautiful and amazing Artyom Chynornyj in the post-apocalyptic world of Metro. Developed by Ukrainians and based off the Russian book series + Polish fanon writing community.
The world of Metro is unfair and unforgiving, full of mutated creatures, and the leftover souls that the destruction of humanity left in it's wake. Crawl across the underground of Russian cities, or panic across the even more dangerous world of the destroyed above.
Fear of Darkness
Fear of Wild Animals
Fear of Deep Water
Fear of Ghost/The Supernatural
Fear of Insects/Spider
Fear of Heights
Fear of Dead Bodies
Fear of the Cold
No Man's Sky
The scariest game I've ever played. I don't know why, but this game freaks me out. I know the picture I chose was harmless, but I did that on purpose.
This game is beautiful, but don't let that fool ya. This world will leave you no hesitation lost in the unpredictable randomly generated horrors of space. From planet that are all water, to colossus creatures you see for only a split second, to the infinite colorless expanse of space.
Megalphobes and astrophobes, this is your subnautica
Fear of Outerspace
Fear of Darkness
Fear of Cramped Spaces
Fear of the Unknown
Fear of Very Very Very Big Things
Fear of Deep Water
Fear of Loneliness
Fear of Caves
Fear of the Supernatural

ROUND TWO
THE TORNADO from SHARKNADO vs RYLEY ROBINSON from SUBNAUTICA
PROPAGANDA:
SHARKNADO - "it catches a lot of sharks."
"tornado full of sharks lol"
RYLEY - "Crashes on an oceanic planet. Only meat source is fish. Result: this dude grabbing fish in a chokehold and making them a staple of his diet, to the point where he alone is damaging the ecosystem."
"It's either fish or be fished in this game."

I did not realize I hadn’t posted these Headcanons already, so here ya go. These ones are about the Nekton kids and the Pirate kids relationships with one another
Ant and Maddie
- Maddie and Ant start FaceTiming each other whenever they can to talk about mythological creature theories as they get to know each other better
- Ant knew Maddie was at least a few years younger then him, due to reluctantly acknowledging his height issues, but Maddie nearly made Ant half-deaf with her shrieking when she found out he was nearly three whole years older than her
- When they’re adults, Maddie is named Godmother of Ants kids, half out of a lost bet, and half out of desperation to have someone between Ants kids and the Guardians beyond Ant himself
Fontaine and Finn:
- Finn is immensely jealous of how well Fontaine does her nails, and she begins to give him lessons. She stops when he steals her favorite nail polish, and steals his favorite eyeliner as payback
- They dated for a few months in secret before realizing they were better off as friends. They remain close friends for the rest of their lives however, and their kids spend a lot of time together
- Fontaine talks with Finn a lot about the Monumentials and her concerns with them, knowing he won’t think she’s crazy due to having experienced one or two in his own life
Fontaine and Maddie
- Maddie grows to see Fontaine as a cool role model, and Fontaine is just relieved she’s not as hyper about it as the Junior Nekton, Charlie
- Maddie ends up going to Fontaine through Ant for help with puberty, and Fontaine sneaks into the Dark Orca with Finns help to deliver feminine products whenever Maddie needs them
- Fontaine respects Maddie’s different pirating technique as an adult, and regularly gives her locations of stolen artifacts. Maddie delivers them to the Aronnax sometime in the next few weeks, and leaves with a thank you pan of cookies
Ant and Finn
- Ant took a long time to get comfortable with Finn, but it was less due to Finns attempts to woo Ants sister, and more because of the bad and uncomfortable experiences he’d had with the Dark Orca as a whole. Finn eventually won Ant over with emotional support and cool trinkets he’d find
- As adults, Ant and Finn aren’t incredibly close, but they’re friends. Their kids don’t interact too much, but they hear about them through each other and Fontaine and Maddie’s families
- Ant was the one to end up convincing Finn to seek a life outside of the Dark Orca, and pursue his dreams of being a school counselor. Ant had to hide in the Aronnax from Hammerhead when he found out, during the next few times they ran into the Dark Orca, but he doesn’t regret it

Hi I finished playing through both Subnauticas recently and I needed to draw my children that I collected during my adventures in each game.
(Flanders the floater, Samuel Smiles the hoverfish in the first, and Hampton the pengling, and Cornelius the baby sea monkey in BZ)
I love these babies and this series more than my own hypothetical irl babies.
Expect more subnautica posts soon
