Wow, a terror game being turned into a horror game. Being one of those people who came from early development Subnautica, I can say, without a doubt, this is how it felt the first time I played through, even before it was on full release.
@@alyssahopson5926 A form indeed. Terror relies less on being explicitly scary, focusing more on a fear from ourselves. The fear of deep water naturally interacting with us and our fear of the unknown, it's a fascinating thing.
@@KaneyoriHK Yep, in my opinion terror games are all the more scary. Us as humans are more afraid of the anticipation of scary events, lesser than the event itself.
I think the problem is that it’s too crowded. It’d be a lot more scary if the area was more “dead”, and leviathans was rarer to see, but the threat of them always having the ability to find you was always there.
Yeah, that's one of the things that makes Subnautica so scary. It shows JUST enough restraint to stop you from getting intimate with the leviathans. They'll rarely kill you, but they WILL scare you
Yes. The Frozen Leviathan maybe. Not the one in the ice. A bigger one. Whos to say that one was adult? That thing would definitely get to be as big as the mothership, hopefully without mods
The fully adult gargantuan leviathan is, in ingame length, 3+ kilometers. It is much longer than the aurora. The baby gargantuans I believe are about the same length.
i don't think i've ever seen anything as terrifying in a video game as that custom water level mod at the end, that legitimately feels like one of my worst nightmares
Still remember the first time I played, I hated the nights so I would camp my base. One night (before I knew about the scanner/aurora) I said “I’m going to be brave and explore the giant ship!” I get there and a creature roars, I paused the game right away. I was terrified but after I unpaused I continued. Then I saw it, the reaper leviathan started chasing me. Never went back there, still nervous about going anyway near there.
OMG the same thing for me, only thing is whenever it was night I NEVER LEFT my base, and I NEVER went anywhere past like 10 meters from the base, I went in creative and summoned some super mega Submarine before I went ANYWHERE else past like 15 meters from my base, I was TERRIFIED, but it was kinda fun, when there was a reaper Leviathan tho I would either leave or close my eyes and open them so slightly that it was very blurry and then I would FULL SPEED DRIVE forward like 50 meters before I fully opened them
I think to make it perfect, have Lifepod Unleashed let you sink to the bottom of only the safe shallows and set the Custom Waterlevel to 200 m deeper instead of 10,000. Coming out and realizing that there is light but not much makes the idea of exploring and going deeper way more terrifying in my opinion. Now if only we could get some BZ creatures in here like the Spikey Trap.
Bruh, I already done it. After stasis rifle it even gets fun to play. Btw dragons just simply swim out of lava zone so that made my competition a lot easier lol.
7:27 Man is that Reefback huge, Crater Reefback theory confirmed 👀? Also, now that the shallows are so deep, imagine seeing the Gargantuan Leviathan swimming above, that would be terrifying
wow, this guy really cares about his fans, he replies to all the comments, actually takes suggestions from them, and the best one....when he gets sponsored he tells you when its over! earned a sub and a bell today man keep up the good work. edit: and you reply to comments long after the video is posted i swear everytime i visit your channel im entertained only known you for a month or two and your already one of my favorites up there with mark truly amazing.
I was scared to watch this video until I realized you won't die and your commentary and good timing on like moving the screen around to the side or your little character popping up kept my brain distracted from the scary thank *GOOODDD.*
okay that last bit when the giant eel came from the darkness and spooked you- I nearly dropped my lunch on the floor xD I don't think i could play subnautica like this outside of creative, my anxiety is bad enough without having to worry about the bloop givin me the spook lol
I can't even play normal subnautica without my thalassophobia killing me and meanwhile there's Bacon doing stuff like this like he's playing Stardew Valley or something lmao keep up the great work and happy Halloween my man what can I say 🎃
This is the first vid I've seen of yours and gotta say the bacon cat is adorable as hell :D When it showed up on screen it took the spookiness comfortably away
The mods are back! The game seriously did get scarier. At the end when the Blaza (Aka Big Worm creature) came out of the darkness, even I faltered a bit. Very spooky! Happy Halloween, Bacon! And everyone else!
Imagine what the devs could do if they made Subnautica like this! I could easily see myself and a few of my friends in a submarine 1000s of meters below the water in complete darkness and silence knowing full well enormous beasts are lurking just out of the reach of our floodlights. If modders can achieve this level of terror with the limited tools they have access to, you'd better believe I'd pay full price for an experience like this released by an actual team of developers.
I have thalassophobia, and I discovered this game a little while ago and I was sure it was terrifying and with this video I conclude, do I need to sleep? naaah.
Reminds me of a recurring nightmare I used to have before I even played subnautica. In my dream I would be in this dark abyss and there'd be a chain with lights in front of me. I was told via comlink to remain by the chain because "they don't like the light" and I'd hear things swimming around me. Sometimes something would happen to cause me to look away from the chain and I'd look back and it's far away
I just shuddered hearing you describe it. Really hoping I don't have that nightmare tonight now, knowing how my brain likes to latch onto images against my will; if I do, I'll mail you my therapy bills
Honestly if the a.i. was actually better at targeting other creatures instead of the player this mode would just turn Subnautica into a constant bloodbath. Just imagine you spawn in inside the life pod and immediately hear a sea dragon start throwing hands with one of the eels, exterminating the entire local small fish population in the process. If the creatures couldn't kill you, the complete lack of basic foodstuffs like peepers certainly will.
Just went to the aurora for the first time to get MK1 Depth module for the seamoth. The moment I looked down and saw how deep it was, I felt like fucking crying. Immediately yelled in fear. My hands were still shaky even after getting out lmao. Great content man! It's amazing how you reply to all comments, amazing dedication.
I know right, it's crazy, but hey, at least it shows that he recognises our existence as a user, unlike many other youtubers who either reply sometimes, or never to a user.
The best one out of all of these is the Migration mod because its still vanilla, but it makes the entire game feel like swimming next to the aurora even if there isnt a reaper near. Simply the possibility of there being one is a nightmare.
I really like this and I can see you put a lot of time into this and even if this didn't take long to do its still great keep going and making great content 😁
As someone who automatically just has their jaw fall off while simultaneously shitting their pants while seeing any dark, large, source of water that I cant see the bottom of, I immediately curled up and threw up in my mouth while cry in as soon as you stepped out of the life pod. 😭💀
@@TheLastBacon Just an idea but what about an April fools video where its subnautica but all the small animals are giant and all the large animals are tiny? Just imagine giant bladder fish and peepers and teeny tiny reaper leviathans.
That much water there made me come up with a "subnautica 3" concept: The surface oceans of 4546B are merely a fraction of the oceans on the planet. The overwhelming majority is located beneath the initial tectonic plate, known as the Bottom of the void. Completely devoid of sunlight, the vast expanse of the Inner Void is a place untouched even by the architects. Creatures that live there are nothing alike those in the surface oceans. Life only exists in the Inner Void because of a single plant species, Mirror Root. The plant feeds on nutrients in the ground and gives off trace amounts of light, very similiar to sunlight. Mirror roots can vary in size, from tiny to superleviathan sized specimens. They wrap around cave walls and grow downwards, creating glowing vines. The Inner Void is filled with thermal vents and volcanoes. Creatures that exist within that place are unfathomably large and dangerous. The inner void was completely sealed off from the rest of the planet, untill the aurora crashed onto 4546B. A long time after the crash, the wreck started gradually tilting towards the crater edge, untill it tumbled down enough to start falling. After descending tens of kilometers into the abyss, the aurora impacted the "bottom", creating a hole in it. That hole connected to the Inner Void.
Here's how to make subnautica (more) terrifying with mods. Create a mod that allows some sentient entity to start messing with your game by doing seemingly innocuous things like building small base pieces around or stealing your seamoth; but then as you progress it becomes more and more malevolent and hides a little less, until it truly let's you see it on the floater island where it has a base containing IRL pictures of you. Hmm... someone should make a video about that ;)
I honestly think the random creature size mod makes it more comedic than scary, can’t be scared if they can’t fit in the cave as though they were an overfed gargantuan. Edit: Also don’t think they move any faster despite their size increase, if they moved faster like they had more power with their size, it would actually be horrifying, other than that, the rest are pretty good for adding some extra punch.
I stopped watching when the pod seemed to be at the bottom of the ocean. This is only a 8 minute long video, yet id rather finish it after i sleep. This literally made my skin crawl so bad.
"Terror is the feeling of dread and apprehension at the possibility of something frightening, while horror is the shock and repulsion of seeing the frightening thing." - Lincoln Michel Subnautica doesn't throw a whole lot of repulsive or frightening stuff on your screen, but it does promise to make you feel hunted, and like you're going to see the absolute worst at any moment when you go too deep. It might not be a horror game, but I vote it gets the title of a "terror" game.
_But even now, I can still see the eyes of the creature. I see it hanging there in the darkness, illuminated by a light I cannot source. And I feel the lingering dread that Williams must have felt that night in the submersible, as he was overcome by whatever void that foul thing slithered out of."_ -SCP 3000
looking at the reaper leviathan once again, he looks like quagmire, he looks like he would say “giggity giggity giggity giggity” like look at his chin, tell me with a straight face he would not be saying “giggity giggity giggity giggity”
I have a subnautica horror story for you. This was my first reaper leviathan encounter. I went out looking for salt with just a seaglide with low battery. I went a little too far and found the dunes which I didnt realize first and saw alot of salt down there, so ofc I went there. I went a little deeper and saw a warper down there. I got my salt and turned back but then I saw a reaper leviathan's shadow, never paused the game so fast. I had to strategize wether I wanted to go a little down away from the reaper and then get up but remembered that the warper was down where I would need to go. I also couldn't go straight up because the reaper would have noticed me so I sat there for 5 minutes and came up with an escape plan. I unpaused the game and went backwards and up (looking at the direction where the reaper was) the warper had teleported away so it didn't bother me and I got away. Definetly gave a heartattack. Fun fact: when I got above the surface of the water and had time to breathe, I got the first message from the sea emperor at the worst time possible, just after escaping a reaper leviathan and a warper.
I think one of the scariest things about subnautica is that so much of our oceans are unexplored, so for all we know there could be real crab squids and crabsnakes and stuff all the way deep underwater. I know that there's probably not an exact crabsquid down there but something similar could be
The start thrilled me as someone who has Mental Issues with Deep Water sincde Childhood I felt shivers down my spine and i felt the brutal feeling of FEAR and DREAD I climbed on top of my chair feeling as if the bottomless deep is once again opening below me It felt like outsmarting death or escaping north korea when the Intro began the Part with CWL/Custom Water Level and 9999 Levels of water made me climb onto my desk as i felt the Creatures bloodthirsty eyes were locked on me as if they were ready to chomp me all the way behind the screen Im so glad my Twitter Subnautica Challenge was like this 👇 Doing Subnauica with scariest mods in VR: 37% Doing random tuff every 42 Seconds: 55% Hatching all eggs and seeing what they will grow into: 8% And not like this Doing Subnauica with scariest mods in VR: 84% Doing random tuff every 42 Seconds: 5% Hatching all eggs and seeing what they will grow into: 11% Cuz i would have died if i did the VR one My Advice: DO NOT play with Return of the Ancients or go into the void if u have talasophobia Well gudbye
Idk what the word for it is, but I have a GUT wrenching fear of being alone at sea. Like, crippling. So bad I’ve never been on a boat. Just started playing this game recently and it’s soul crushing😂
I know, subnautica isn't normally a horror game, yet i find it (sometimes) scary because of my *slight* fear of the sea, when you get in those places where the ground suddenly goes deep down it makes my heart leave me. If i would play it with these mods i would certainly quit after a single minute
I have a serious case of Thalasaphobia and as soon as he exited the lifepod into what was essentially black water, I bailed
Understandable :) Smart move!
Same. Screw water
Exactly, pure nightmare fuel!

I don't have it, but I think I developed it after the Last mod 😑

Life only exists in the Inner Void because of a single plant species, Mirror Root. The plant feeds on nutrients in the ground and gives off trace amounts of light, very similiar to sunlight. Mirror roots can vary in size, from tiny to superleviathan sized specimens. They wrap around cave walls and grow downwards, creating glowing vines.
The Inner Void is filled with thermal vents and volcanoes. Creatures that exist within that place are unfathomably large and dangerous.
The inner void was completely sealed off from the rest of the planet, untill the aurora crashed onto 4546B. A long time after the crash, the wreck started gradually tilting towards the crater edge, untill it tumbled down enough to start falling. After descending tens of kilometers into the abyss, the aurora impacted the "bottom", creating a hole in it. That hole connected to the Inner Void.
I love the idea of a dark, deep ocean game :)
Here's how to make subnautica (more) terrifying with mods. Create a mod that allows some sentient entity to start messing with your game by doing seemingly innocuous things like building small base pieces around or stealing your seamoth; but then as you progress it becomes more and more malevolent and hides a little less, until it truly let's you see it on the floater island where it has a base containing IRL pictures of you.
Hmm... someone should make a video about that ;)
Hmmm :D
That big scary larry dangerous biggy eel jumpscare got me scared and now I have thalassophobia
Definitely a spooky one :)
1:35 "As you can see we are in an entirely different area" as the same broken down ship clips in and out of frame hahaha
Lmao :D
Usually in horror games videos arent scary when you dont play them but THAT LIFEPOD MOD.......... MY THALASSOPHOBIA GETTIN SERIOUS
Yeah this terrifying imo :)
Just seeing the vast ocean as soon as you leave your pod is enough for me. Can't think of a worse nightmare 😅😭
Yeah super unpleasant :)
3:37 never tought id get scared this bad while watching subnautica
Same tbh :)
Anybody who thinks subnautica isn't 100% a horror game hasn't played in VR. Genuinely the scariest thing I've ever played
Oh yeah VR is absolutely terrifying!! :)
"hello friends happy halloween and welcome to the los pollos hermanos my name is Gustavo but you can call me gus" ⚰️💀
Lol :D
I honestly think the random creature size mod makes it more comedic than scary, can’t be scared if they can’t fit in the cave as though they were an overfed gargantuan.
Edit: Also don’t think they move any faster despite their size increase, if they moved faster like they had more power with their size, it would actually be horrifying, other than that, the rest are pretty good for adding some extra punch.
Great point about the speed :) Could definitely help!
I stopped watching when the pod seemed to be at the bottom of the ocean. This is only a 8 minute long video, yet id rather finish it after i sleep. This literally made my skin crawl so bad.
Totally understandable :)
"Terror is the feeling of dread and apprehension at the possibility of something frightening, while horror is the shock and repulsion of seeing the frightening thing." - Lincoln Michel
Subnautica doesn't throw a whole lot of repulsive or frightening stuff on your screen, but it does promise to make you feel hunted, and like you're going to see the absolute worst at any moment when you go too deep. It might not be a horror game, but I vote it gets the title of a "terror" game.
Yeah both work in my opinion :)
_But even now, I can still see the eyes of the creature. I see it hanging there in the darkness, illuminated by a light I cannot source. And I feel the lingering dread that Williams must have felt that night in the submersible, as he was overcome by whatever void that foul thing slithered out of."_
-SCP 3000
Oof yeah that fits with Subnautica :)
I can’t with this “I’m a wholesome young Christian boy” theme. All he was missing was the “Gee Golly Willickers!” And he would be leave it to beaver
Lmao what? :D
looking at the reaper leviathan once again, he looks like quagmire, he looks like he would say “giggity giggity giggity giggity” like look at his chin, tell me with a straight face he would not be saying “giggity giggity giggity giggity”
Hahaha he does have that chin :D
I shouldn't have watched this before bed. First 3-5 minutes is straight up what I see in my nightmares
Who needs to sleep anyway :D
You pretty much made what subnautica would actually be like to people 😂
Haha pretty much :)
I practically shit myself whenever I enter the blood kelp zone and that soundtrack kicks in, let alone the lava zones
Haha fair :)
This game is a straight nightmare fuel...It may not be a horror game but it can still give you nightmare especially to those who have thalassophobia
Most definitely :)
I have a subnautica horror story for you.
This was my first reaper leviathan encounter. I went out looking for salt with just a seaglide with low battery. I went a little too far and found the dunes which I didnt realize first and saw alot of salt down there, so ofc I went there. I went a little deeper and saw a warper down there. I got my salt and turned back but then I saw a reaper leviathan's shadow, never paused the game so fast. I had to strategize wether I wanted to go a little down away from the reaper and then get up but remembered that the warper was down where I would need to go. I also couldn't go straight up because the reaper would have noticed me so I sat there for 5 minutes and came up with an escape plan. I unpaused the game and went backwards and up (looking at the direction where the reaper was) the warper had teleported away so it didn't bother me and I got away. Definetly gave a heartattack.
Fun fact: when I got above the surface of the water and had time to breathe, I got the first message from the sea emperor at the worst time possible, just after escaping a reaper leviathan and a warper.
Dang definitely sounds unpleasant :)
I love fictional biologies and have a mid-to-severe case of thalassophobia. Why am I here
Just to suffer :D
Just to suffer :)
nexus mods: how many mods would you like?
him: YES
Accurate :D
I think one of the scariest things about subnautica is that so much of our oceans are unexplored, so for all we know there could be real crab squids and crabsnakes and stuff all the way deep underwater. I know that there's probably not an exact crabsquid down there but something similar could be
Yeah that is definitely terrifying :)
The start thrilled me as someone who has Mental Issues with Deep Water sincde Childhood
I felt shivers down my spine and i felt the brutal feeling of FEAR and DREAD
I climbed on top of my chair feeling as if the bottomless deep is once again opening below me
It felt like outsmarting death or escaping north korea when the Intro began
the Part with CWL/Custom Water Level and 9999 Levels of water made me climb onto my desk as i felt the Creatures bloodthirsty eyes were locked on me as if they were ready to chomp me all the way behind the screen
Im so glad my Twitter Subnautica Challenge was like this 👇
Doing Subnauica with scariest mods in VR: 37%
Doing random tuff every 42 Seconds: 55%
Hatching all eggs and seeing what they will grow into: 8%
And not like this
Doing Subnauica with scariest mods in VR: 84%
Doing random tuff every 42 Seconds: 5%
Hatching all eggs and seeing what they will grow into: 11%
Cuz i would have died if i did the VR one
My Advice: DO NOT play with Return of the Ancients or go into the void if u have talasophobia
Well gudbye
Very solid advice there at the end! :)
This video amounted to me whispering "what the fuck" with increasing levels of intensity
Love that :D
Idk what the word for it is, but I have a GUT wrenching fear of being alone at sea. Like, crippling. So bad I’ve never been on a boat.
Just started playing this game recently and it’s soul crushing😂
Sounds like a reasonable fear :)
@@TheLastBacon Idk how common it is, but in a family of fishermen; I’m usually the butt of the joke😂
I know, subnautica isn't normally a horror game, yet i find it (sometimes) scary because of my *slight* fear of the sea, when you get in those places where the ground suddenly goes deep down it makes my heart leave me.
If i would play it with these mods i would certainly quit after a single minute
Yeah I think the game came out certain feel like a horror game in some areas :)
Wow u posted my reshade in link. I see it now after almost one year randomly. Glad to see people love it, thank you
Thank YOU for making it!! :)
