Subnautica with EXTREME Thalassophobia | Episode 1 | Building the Seamoth

In the first official episode of our Subnautica series, we're taking a huge step forward in our underwater journey. Today, we’re building the Seamoth, our very first submersible, and diving deeper into the unknown.
Join me as we gather resources, construct the Seamoth, and explore the eerie and fascinating alien structures. Each dive is filled with awe and a bit of fear as we push further into uncharted territory, confronting my thalassophobia and discovering the secrets of Planet 4546B.

To add to the people talking about how it helped their phobia: Playing Subnautica got me to the point of managing my thalassophobia well enough that I could finally go snorkelling for the first time with my (absolute mermaid, diving-as-a-hobby) sisters. It scared the absolute shit out of me for the entire duration but it was so, so beautiful and incredible and I wouldn't have been able to do it at all without this game. It still freaks me out but I'll play Subnautica to relax these days. The deeper water will probably never stop being terrifying but all the shallow areas feel so much safer than they did when I first started playing. Weird and wonderful that a game like this can have such a substantial impact on our lives. You are definitely so brave. 😊 Also uhhh... You can just replace the battery in the flashlight, you don't need to make a whole new flashlight.

As someone without thalassophobia who's played it 39857328957328 times, the deep water in Subnautica is STILL scary! So even those of us without the ocean phobia don't have it easy down there lmao

[@vahlanayru]

No way this is amazing! It's incredible that the game was able to let you experience this with your sisters IRL. You're very brave for finishing the game AND then going into the water. I love it 💖✨ I had no idea this game had such an impact, I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens to my fear by the end of the playthrough. Do you still go snorkelling or was this a one time test the water thing? Also, I wish I saw this comment before recording Ep 2 😅

[@EGULNESS]

This is good. Hope you finish the game.

[@markreinink6364]

You dont need to build a whole new flashlight when it runs out, you can just exchange the battery.

[@irrelevant_noob]

Also using up depleted batteries instead of brand new ones when crafting stuff is a treat. ^^

[@notsofrenchy]

I had an aneurism when you didn’t scan the seamoth at the lifepod

[@vahlanayru]

When I was editing this, so did I 🤦‍♀️

I cant wait for the next episode. This series is Amazing so far. YIPPEEE!

[@Innsifire]

TIL I'm the weird one for not being scared of the open ocean

[@vahlanayru]

Yes fire, yes you are 😅

[@henrikbergman9036]

NO by the defenition of weird you are not weird for not being scared of the ocean!

[@QuantumFerret]

I love the open ocean, I just don’t go on it or in it. Shit’s dangerous man

[@letzplayosaurus]

You should really check out the PDA entries sometimes, ESPECIALLY from abandoned PDAs they sometimes are required to advance the story later on and the abandoned PDAs are in most cases voiced

[@vahlanayru]

I completely forget about this! 😩 I wish I'd seen this before I recorded Ep 2, but we'll definitely sit and listen to them in Ep 3

[@giannicolamatteo8155]

Word of the wise, the moonpool really helps mod the vehicles so you can survive better with them. You can get like 2 mods for the sea moth in the aurora but if you want more or different ones youll need a moon pool

[@vahlanayru]

Ep 2 is coming out tomorrow, stay tuned 👀 Although I wish I had seen this before recording lmao

[@giannicolamatteo8155]

@@vahlanayru in that case another tip would be if you ever plan to go exploring the Aurora, keep track of any codes you pick up in your pda, they are needed to open doors but you need to put in the numbers manually, on my first play through I was running around looking for codes when I didn't realise I had them in my pda

[@Ethan_warner]

Quick tip I’m pretty sure u can use the repair tool to fix the seamoss

[@vahlanayru]

If I could turn back time, it would be so I can read this before I recorded Episode 2 🫠

[@Ethan_warner]

@@vahlanayru 😭well atleast you know now the main use of the repair tool is to fix vehicles and things of that nature

[@Chockruh]

btw you dont need to other oxygen tank in your inventory you already got one equpped

[@levinballweg1958]

Ive play subnautica for years now. I have platinum trophy on it too. And just like you i have thalassophobia (not as extreme). And i can say: your doing so good!

[@SheikahMint]

Wish you good luck when you reach the end of the game. It's crazy how you fight your fear, not in real life, but in a game. You deserve more.

[@vahlanayru]

Thank you! I'm excited to see where the story leads. and thank you very much 💜

[@PieterPatrick]

I play this with VR. Much better because you can't look away. lol

[@vahlanayru]

Torture, absolute torture 😂

[@irrelevant_noob]

That "better" needed some air-quotes... 😛

[@trulsbrennmon5425]

No spoiler hint: You can go into wrecks, like the one where you found the seamoth parts. There are always a door or an opening, and there can be a lot of good stuff inside! Just found your channel and this playthrough, and i have to say you are awesome. Definetly subscribing, and cant wait for you to explore and experience this game! I have played it a lot myself, always a good and fun game to come back to.

[@vahlanayru]

Thanks for the tips! I saw the door in the wreck when editing and my mind was blown 🤯 I'm so glad you found the channel and are enjoying the videos so far, I can't wait to see what's in store. Thank you so much for subscribing 💜

I'm excited for next episode ❤❤

[@josephrossow8901]

I'm very excited to see your blind playthrough. Subnautica is an excellent survival-crafting game and I envy that you get to play it for the first time ( I wish I could do that again ). But if I could make one little criticism, you don't need to cut from one comment to the next in this format. On these long Let's Plays, it's okay if you just let the take roll for a bit, even if there's silence. Jump-cutting to the next 'action' continuously really feels like getting bombarded after a while, and it can break the continuity and disorient the viewer. It's okay if you let the quiet moments play out, even if it seems like nothing's happening. Again, really looking forward to this play-through. I hope you enjoy this game as much as I did (even if it scared me to death).

[@vahlanayru]

Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video and I'm glad you're coming along for the journey with me. I really appreciate the feedback,. Noted, thanks! ✍

Hint: Scan everything (and read the databank entries!)

[@vahlanayru]

I keep forgetting to read the databank entries! 🤦‍♀️ A little reminder now lives on a post it note, on my monitor

especially stuff you already unlocked if you're seeking titanium for an ingot (18:57) xD

please stop whining and squealing, its super annoying (see intro)

[@pyroman4554]

I mean she’s playing a game that revolves around a big fear for her, can’t blame her for it

[@bulasev]

I wish you would stop saying you have thalassophobia... i have my own phobia and i don't just singalong while it has been triggered. The gameplay is fun. The game is genius. My problem is your misunderstanding of phobias.

[@vahlanayru]

I understand my own phobia, and everyone has different levels of fear. My goal is to tackle my own phobia, and I'm not the sort of person to sit and sulk whilst I do so. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed the gameplay!
