Experienced thalassophobia first hand recently!

Sorry for the video quality, my objective was dirty, but anyway i am just here to trigger some phobias, enjoy the cliff to the void at 0:20

Absolutely chilling scenes

This is Thalassomania, a co-op PSX-style horror game I've been making solo since 2023. 1–4 players crew a fishing trawler through a night storm, hauling the catch while something hunts you back. The wave physics can genuinely throw your friends overboard mid-haul.

Free demo out on Steam in 10 days if any of you want to experience the horror for yourself!

We were able to actively watch getting higher with each tiny wave

Somewhere in Scotland...

Just out here trying to not die and feed the wife.

I took this at a depth of about 28 metres. The colour red has long been filtered out of the light at this depth, making everything seem greener than it actually is. Visibility was decent though.

I made this video recently discussing thalassophobia in video games. Do you like playing games with elements of Thalassophobia and which is your favorite?
