Lovecraft hated the ocean and everything in it. The sight or smell of seafood would send him into fits of nausea so intense that it would it put him out of commission for hours. The guy rarely swore, but he once got so angry at the suggestion of a clam dinner with his friends that he cussed them out and promptly left their company.
Haven't seen the video yet (obviously) but I just wanted to mention how happy I am it exists. as someone with thalassophobia, this is healing to understand my fear better
same here, my thalassophobia is very mild and it's more a fear of drowning (crushing depth with water in your lungs and nothing around you) , but this video was very nice and always had me on edge.
@@voidchild3388 my thalassophobia used to be very bad. Like, seeing the ocean in Minecraft and getting a panic attack bad. I learned to control it with the help of videos like this etc :)
Just the other day I was doing a long swim across a lake, and you can see how deep it is from submerged trees and gigantic boulders. It sure is scary. The only solution is not to look.
I totally understand the love-fear complicated relationship with the sea. For one, I'm a naval archaeologist. I love the sea, I love swimming, I do scuba diving, etc. I also spend most of my time studying how ships sunk, and the chaotic catastrophes that caused it. I also freaking love any horror story linked to the sea, with their themes of inmensity, vastness, darkness and isolation
The way my jaw actually dropped when I saw footage of Dredge!! One of my favorite games, so happy it was included. Between this and last video talking about Control, I gotta say I’m in love with your taste in games Connor. Great video as always!
That’s where Peter and Tim are on their eternal kayaking trip, obviously. Edit: As a fallen London fan, I can confirm, the only additional context you get is that queen Victoria sold London to the bats because she wanted immortality.
Not to mention the space crab falling in love with the sun and hiding from space justice 😂 hello fellow tma and fallen London nerd! Thank you for the delighted laugh I got out of the kayak comment :)
suggestion for how you would classify this genre of story - marine gothic? also i subscribed literally yesterday and your first video since then is on OCEANIC HORROR???????? MY FAVOURITE GENRE OF ALL TIME????? beautiful, thank you so much
I've never lived more than 40 minutes from the coast, and as someone who now lives maybe 5 minutes from a number of beaches, the ocean _really_ does grab you and never let go. I can't imagine living away from it anymore, I feel like I'd just lose my mind if I couldn't head out to the beach when I want to think or just exist in nature. One thing about the sea that makes it so terrifying is that it has absolutely no regard for you. No matter the precautions you take, no matter how confident you are in your abilities, the ocean can and will kill you and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it. There's a reason signs on the beach remind people to never turn their back to the water; you can't predict a sneaker wave, after all.
a few game suggestions for more horrifying ocean based games! dredge is my personal fave, but these two are also great: - call of the sea, a puzzle/walking sim set in the early 1900s following a woman named nora as she searches for her husband - still wakes the deep, a horror survival/walking sim taking place on an oil rig in the middle of the north sea
Seriously, one of my favorite TMA episodes deaks with The Vast. Not being thalassaphobic myself, it's the closest I've ever come to truly being afraid of the deep, black abyss all around us.
"Give not thyself up, then, to fire lest it invert thee, deaden thee; as for the time it did me. There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness." - Herman Melvile,Moby-Dick
I don't tend to comment on videos often but as someone who has lived near (or on) the ocean their entire life and has a deep love and nostalgia for it, you did such a good job talking about the ocean! It warrents a lot of feelings for a lot of different reasons and you managed to cover a lot of them, so keep up the good work! :)
A song that has always stuck with me that encapsulates the dreariness and vastness of the sea is “The Worst of Fates” by the band Defeater for anyone interested. Something about it is so haunting I can’t recommend it enough
There is this book called Into the drowning deep about a crew of people going out to the Mariana Trench in order to film some mythical creatures that supposedly ate the last crew that went out. And while those creatures ARE a threat, the book also emphasizes how vast the ocean is and how it contributes to the danger the main characters are in. Because aside from the boat, when the creatures come to attack, they are essentially trapped with them. (Also there is one scene with a submersible that is both thasslophobia and claustrophobia incarnate)
Hey! A fellow Coloradan. :D It would be really cool to see you make another video like this but about the mountains. Like the sea, they're a looming presence, and there's so many stories and so much folklore taking place in them. They're beautiful, but like the sea, they often swallow their secrets.
Y’know, I’ve considered this a few times. I’m so down, but I want to make sure I do it right. The sea is something I’m vaguely fascinated by- the mountains though? Those I am deeply familiar with, and intend to do full justice!
Coming from South Dakota, I feel that sense of wonder with the ocean, having never seen it ever myself. It's so alien from what I know that the stories that these games tell could also be about the Dream World or an Alternate Reality.
I've lived within a stone's throw of the Atlantic Ocean ever since I was young, and so-called "maritime horrors" and "nautical terrors" have been part of the folklore here for a while, whether it's the ghostly lights of the Palatine, the various spooks and spectres of the old lighthouses along our shorelines, or the mysterious tales of ships that went out to sea, never to be seen nor heard from again. The ocean is something that every civilization understands, as seafaring ancestors brought us to new continents and helped to form countries in history. The sea may be beautiful and full of wonder and grand life, but she's always got that darker side, always a mere moment from sending a mighty wave to wash you overboard, or hiding rock, reef, or wreck to tear a hole in your ship and pull it into the dark abyss below. I've volunteered aboard historical vessels all the way from Boston, Massachusetts to Mystic, Connecticut, and if those ships could speak, one could imagine the horrors they've witnessed. All of the blood spilled upon their decks. All of the long, cold nights, with nothing but the darkness of the sea around them.. Great video, though! I've played most of the games you've mentioned, and I've enjoyed them all.
hey hey. hey. Visit Orkney! If you liked this video/this kind of thinking about the sea, take a trip to the Orkneys! First of all the North Sea and that bit of the North sea in particular is just. so much. Only time I've been truly, painfully seasick. In Orkney there's like a record number of shipwrecks you can visit in one go. The rocky coastlines there are so dramatic and beautiful its practically a given you'll get lost in it all. The bit of sea in between Hoy and Stromness fully changed the course of my life. Orkney itself is just the sort of place that makes you suddenly understand folklore and fairy tales. Makes you go "oh yeah. Selkies make sense now". Visit Orkney!!! and don't do it on a cruise!!!!!!! Or just wait to watch 'the outrun' when distributors get sorted
Omg hi!!! A person who knows about the North Sea!!! Someday I really would love to take a trip there like you say... I'm curious, what do you think about the TV show The Rig? And the video game Still Wakes The Deep?
The algorithm hath bestowed upon me a glorious bounty! I just started playing Dredge after hearing about it and enjoying its cameo in Dave The Diver, not to mention there were alot of conversations this weekend about Subnautica too. Im glad we are seeing fun and impactful seafaring games cause the ocean be a scary, scary place. In space no one can hear you scream but underwater, you can't even make a noise
The amount of times in sunless sea I've decided on more crew Vs provisions with the logic of 'eh, worst case I can eat the crew' is ridiculous. The resource management is intense 😂 and yeah, Fallen London and Sunless Skies do explain the whole stolen by bats things a bit more in depth but in a kind of fromsoft 'read every random scrap of text and remember something you read months ago' way. The lore is whacky and super interesting though
So many of my fictional setting take place near the sea despite me living in Indiana. I have a bunch of old World Book Encyclopedias from around 1960 and they have lots of interesting black and white images, including many of coastal areas. Something about it seeing those little houses perched on those rocks seems so peaceful yet unsettling. Like something terrible event could happen and the people wouldn’t be able to get help in time. Most of the pictures have limited human activity so I’m left wondering whether people actually lived there or not. I’m new here by the way. Loving the channel so far! Especially the liminal spaces video!
I’m currently playing Dredge for the first time and I really am enjoying it. There’s also another one called Sea Of Solitude that genuinely had me jumping with the creepy monsters in it. Was sooo much fun
14:05 When I first heard this line of dialogue in my seamoth. I immediately froze and dropped my controller out of fear of what i was heading into. I swear that i love this game yet i both fear and respect it. Yes it did leave me with some mental trauma but I've gotten over most of it and all i can say is that "subnautica isn't just a game. It's an experience". I'd highly recommend this game to anyone who hasn't played it before just let the game be you're guide to you're play though and remember to be curious and cautious. Also enjoy the visuals and soundtrack/sound design.
I live by Long Island Sound. One memory I have from high school was going down to the beach at night with some high school buddies. I swam in the waves under a full moon. I felt like any moment something could grab me by the ankles and drag me down to the murky depths.
I’m terrified of the sea, I’ve got thalassophobia, and yet for whatever reason, I just can’t seem to stop playing Dredge. And that scares me: to know that even I, someone so deathly afraid of the sea that I cry when I have to do a two minute underwater sequence in games, is not immune to this call of the sea. That no matter how much fear I feel, or how many tears I shed, I need to know what is out there. That no matter how many times I scream because of the monsters that lurk in the deep or how much my body shakes when I go over a deeper part of the sea, that the fear I feel is not enough to stop me from going further out. From venturing and seeing what may lurk out there, even if I know the result will probably make my heart stop and make me pause the game for a couple of minutes while I recollect myself. It’s so scary, this almost unnatural need to know what’s out there, to know what’s lurking in the deep. Because to me what’s scary isn’t not knowing what’s out there, but knowing what is. Knowing how many things exist that could kill me, that could harm me, and still being unable to hold myself back from going out and seeing what’s out there.
For me personaly, subnautica wasnt scary because of the leviathans, i mean yeah it was but they werent the reason i quit the games out of fear multipal times. It was the huge was open waters, the times where the music would just cut and you can hear the silence of the empty depths. It makes me feel like im not supposed to be there. Like no one is supposed to be there. I also managed to glitch through the aurora multiple times which made this feeling even stronger. Like you clipped through the world.
8:10 Excuse me what do you mean "Back when"??? It still is! Like, most of good transport happens on giant container ships! I know this isn't really important but cmon!
Have you played any of the games by weather factory? The two developers both worked on Sunless Sea. Id love to see a video on the weird, lovecraftian, and oddly grounded universe their games take place in
I would say that Return of the Obra Dinn is only incidentally about the sea. The vast majority of it is man vs. man, including the human who starts the loop of ill-chosen revenge and murder happening, and the main interaction with the sea is humans stealing something and the owners/caretakers of it coming to retrieve it. Most of it could happen in a warehouse. Trying not to spoil things, but the fauna could be replaced with more humans with weapons. I like it a lot and yes, there are some elements of shipboard life that facilitate the drama, but most of it is guys killing each other in non-sea ways.
Huge fan to sea (hehhehheh) more ocean content. I wanted to make a comment that the mixing on this feels a little off insofaras it's a little hard to hear you over the music, at least to me.
Was hoping Barotrauma would be discussed. Nothing like hearing your buddy’s coms cut out as they scream. Something got them. Could be a husk, maybe a mudraptor. Crawler perhaps? The concept of the game is terrifying. But the antics you can get up to make it less impactful. Fuckin clowns…
@@spookymcg the game can have some truly terrifying moments when playing with some buds with serious intent. Multiplayer can get goofy as high hell since its got some inspiration from Space Station 13. But the 2d style of the game can make things seem so limiting, like you truly are trapped in a cramped submarine with nothing but hopes and dreams keeping the monsters of Europa at bay. When push comes to shove, you come to realize just how alien that damn jovian moon really is. And thats completely ignoring the alien ruins, husk cultists, and other bits of lore I wont spoil for ya
