An easy guide to the game that may help.

If you can't count how many teeth it has, this means it wants to eat you.

Embrace the fear. None of it's real and it can't hurt you, obviously, so just enjoy the game's ability to send you on an emotional trip.

It can be scary at times but it's such a good game. I promise if you play you won't be disappointed

I recommend you do it in small bits. So start playing in small sessions of 5-10 minutes, then when you feel like you are ready, start playing n 15-20 minute sessions, and just continue doing that. Eventually, you should be able to play for longer periods of time without getting too scared. As a warning, I have gotten pretty far into the game now, and one of the only things that really scares me is looking down and not being able to see the ocean floor. There are plenty of big, scary creatures, but they don't really scare me. It is the feeling of having nothing below me that gets me. In summary, yes, you should play this, but be careful. Also, there is no auto save, you have to manually save.

I also have severe thalassophobia and i also wish i never did this to myself but at the same time i am glad. The first time you dive into the water is the worst, the nights are dreadful and i think everything is trying to kill me. All we can really do is embrace the fear, exposure therapy at its finest, it really is

The Freedom game mode may be the best option for you to begin with. It has no hunger or thirst, so you will be able to wait out the nights in your life pod until you obtain the blueprints for a bed at which point you can skip the nights entirely.

Also, don't play without sound. It may be tempting because the sound design in Subnautica is very suspenseful, but usually you will be able to hear dangers - dangerous creatures, and some terrain hazards like volcanic vents - before you see them. (I say this mainly because today I almost died because I played on mute, and a creature I normally would have heard from a long way away got the jump on me.)

Well waiting for the daylight won't help. Face it slowly in your own time, you1ll be fine.

overcome, adapt, you will love the journey in time, it's a game built with emotion so just flow with it and always remember...it's just a game it can't hurt you.

all the horror games out there don't really scare me... i can even play with the lights off....
but Subnautica....dear god... it's scaring the bejesus out of me and i didn't even see the lost river yet...

but this game is just too good... one of the game survival game ever...
just enjoy it and embrace the fear...

I had an elevated heart-rate through the entirety of my first playthrough. It'll be intense, but on the other side of it you will have mastered your fear. Just take it slow, build multiple bases, and check both mushroom forests for vehicle parts so you can get the big safe sub as early as possible.

On my first playthrough I was pretty terrified of the unknown deeps, and I didn't do too much exploring. Just tried to go from main point to main point, complete the story, etc.

But on successive playthroughs I explored most of the biomes a lot more, and actually large areas of the undersea world are not highly dangerous. And exploration is the name of this game! You should try to get over your fears; Subnautica offers a fantastic gaming experience that everyone should experience at least once...

There are probably three biomes you need to watch out for: Dunes, Crash Zone, Mountains
These are very scary biomes. But technically, only one of these is required to beat the game.

Maybe also the Underwater Islands biome, to a lesser extent, isn't my favorite either. It's more annoying than scary, though.

I used to be terrified of Subnautica. Now I can say that I officially murdered a Reaper Leviathan in survival without dying. Once the fear wears off, every horror aspect become dull.

Except the void. Never go near the dead zone.
