Key Features

Endless exploration You will have to go through numerous scenarios while looking for clues and resources to survive.
Real survival: Not all the creatures that you will meet in Subnautica are peaceful. In addition to fulfilling your basic needs (hunger and thirst), you also have to be prepared to fight.
Day and night The time of the day in Subnautica significantly affects the gameplay, as the environment will change and different surprises await us.
Search for oxygen: Your oxygen reserve diminishes over time, meaning you will have to constantly get to the surface or look for oxygen-producing flora.
Construct: You will also have set up a base camp where you can be safe and store your food. In addition, you can use your base to refill your oxygen reserves. Make sure to keep an eye out for the Subnautica cyclops, a player-controlled submarine that can be used as a mobile base.
