Ha yes! It’s wild because I am an experienced diver IRL professional and recreational.
Thalassophobia has only stricken me on those rare occasions where you have really good visibility in daytime and floating over a coral shelf that drops off into the abyss. Into nothingness.
This game does an astonishing job of replicating that feeling. It’s uncanny. (The large screaming monster noises probably don’t help either lol)
yup, I found looking into the abyss terrifying
so why isn't it terrifying to look up into sky? Why don't I get the same terror when I'm flying? It's odd
maybe the abyss is a different world and that's why it's scary
