![]() ![]() (The only obstacle to this is, like others have said, improper loading speeds in the game when you're traveling at high speeds in vehicles. You can always hear the majorly dangerous creatures from far away, long before they aggro you. Subnautica? I find it's a great balance between "it's all in your head" and fulfilling the tense expectations. I don't know how severe you've got it, but I can at least say I have an idea of where you're coming from-large, open water sections have been something I've specifically noticed I don't mentally handle well, even when in times know for a fact that nothing unexpected will happen. And don't even get me started on the entire Great Bay area in Majora's Mask, particularly Pinnacle Rock and its. Heck, there are some places in the Wind Waker that I still haven't looked at to this day because of the Sea Hat enemies and how helpless they make me feel when they knock me out of the boat, even though I know there's nothing in the water that I'm actually vulnerable to. The eel boss in Mario Sunshine gave me a lot of similar issues, and it didn't even move. So I similarly have a fear of vast, open water situations-not clinically confirmed or anything, but the eel situation you mentioned in SM64 was one of the most terrifying parts of my childhood, and it was many years before I was able to confront it (and even then, only on the smaller screen of the DS version!). And while there are no true jumpscares, all the anticipation it naturally builds can make any mildly surprising event feel like a jumpscare.īut hear me out a bit, because I think I came from a similar place to you, yet Subnautica became one of my favorite exploration-type games. If you have a fear of open water, Subnautica will be a pretty terrifying experience-it kind of capitalizes on that feeling. Keep your eyes peeled, and I think you will be alright. You'll likely see them before they see you, and to avoid any creature, just keep your distance. The rest of the hostile fauna in the game are typically easy to notice and don't really provide any sort of jump scare. To get them off, hit them with your other arm, or continue swimming. This could provide a jump scare if you don't see these small creatures and all of a sudden they latch onto you. They also make quite a lot of noise when they begin to swim at you.īleeders are fairly small, and latch onto the players arm and begin to deal damage. This isn't much of a scare unless you completely miss their noticeable pods. They will explode after about 5 seconds of chasing you. If you get too close to their pods, they open up, and begin to fly at you. ![]() ![]() Just keep your distance to avoid them.Ĭrashfish reside inside of their pods in the Safe Shallows. Typically, you can see them sitting inside of the holes on top of the mushrooms first. They can pop out of the top of these mushrooms and attack you. If you get too close to them while they are controlling you, you will take damage.Ĭrabsnakes hide inside of the giant purple jelly mushrooms in the Jellyshroom Cave. When they do this, you will begin to swim towards them automatically (which you can resist), and your suit will begin talking to you saying to swim towards the creature. Mesmers can sometimes appear invisible looking (although I believe this is not intended), and they take control of your movement slightly. It teleports to you/around you, and can teleport you to it (even if you are in a vehicle), and attack you. The Warper can spawn right in front of you (and this is intended). It would be hard to be jump scared by them as you typically can see them before they see you. They make a very noticeable sound and are aggressive, however the area that you run into them is very large, making avoiding them fairly easy. Sea Dragon Leviathans are a massive creature that are thankfully very far down in the ocean (~1400m+). You can see their fin sticking out of the sand usually. Typically, this is rare, but it is possible. ![]() Sand Sharks can bury themselves in the sand and pop out and bite you. Reaper Leviathans have a very noticeable sound that you can hear quite easily however. This can be made worse if you are in a Seamoth traveling fast and all of a sudden a Reaper spawns right in front of you. They are aggressive, and can kill you fairly fast. This is partly because sometimes the game doesn't spawn them right away until you are too close to really get away (I don't think this is suppose to happen, as it is odd to unfairly spawn a dangerous creature like this in front of you - it's likely a bug). Reaper Leviathans can tend to sneak up on you. Here are some instances you might get a jump scare at: I would say yes, there are jump scares, but not intentionally. ![]()
