Subnautica is a first-person underwater survival game set on an alien ocean planet. After crash-landing, players are left with limited resources and a lifepod floating above an endless sea. The main objective is to stay alive by exploring the ocean depths, gathering materials, and crafting tools. Oxygen management becomes a constant concern, especially when diving into deeper biomes where visibility drops and unknown creatures move in the shadows. Every action, from building a scanner to expanding your shelter, pushes survival a little further.
Discover, Adapt, Expand
As you dive deeper into the planet’s ocean system, new biomes reveal unique materials, threats, and environmental challenges. Some areas are rich in resources but guarded by aggressive lifeforms, while others require heat protection or specialized vehicles to access. Progress comes through learning how each zone works and building equipment to adapt to those conditions. You construct everything from fins to submarines, using blueprints found through exploration or analysis of alien structures. Your base becomes more than a shelter—it’s a tool for survival and a marker of progress.
Uncover What Went Wrong
Scattered throughout the ocean are wrecks, strange signals, and remnants of those who came before. Logs, devices, and alien ruins begin to tell the story of the planet’s past—and hint at what might be needed to escape it. These pieces are hidden in dangerous areas, encouraging risk and planning. Subnautica blends survival mechanics with exploration and discovery, creating a world where staying alive means constantly moving forward and figuring out how everything fits together beneath the surface.
