Subnautica is an adventure survival game developed and published by Unknown Worlds Entertainment. In January 2018 the game was fully released, with multiple setbacks, such as fixing bugs and glitches, pushed the release date further.
In January 2019, early access for an expansion and entirely new separate game, called Subnautica: Below Zero, was released. Its full release was in May 2021.
Game information[]
In Subnautica the player controls an unnamed lone survivor of a crashed space ship, called the Aurora, on a mysterious aquatic planet. The aim is to survive the dangers of Planet 4546B, such as it's creatures who threaten to injure the player, and seek out food and water to stay alive and components to craft various tools to escape from the planet. The game has a day and night cycle, which will affect the ocean and game play at different times and three game modes, as described below:
- Freedom mode has hunger and thirst disabled.
- Hardcore mode allows the player to play through the game as normal, but if they die, they will not re-spawn.
- Creative Mode has all core needs (hunger, thirst, health and oxygen) are disabled, every crafting blueprint becomes available, nothing needs to be crafted and the vehicles do not require energy or become damaged.
Series background[]
Jacksepticeye gained early access to the game in 2015 since other people asked him to play it. He did so, making 22 videos of the early access before returning in December 2016 until May 2017 where the game was further updated. Jack played the full release of the game starting January 17th, 2018. He read out a message from the developers in that very video, saying that if it wasn't for him and the viewers to boost the popularity of Subnautica, they would have gone out of business. His name was shown in the "Special Thanks" section of the game's credits alongside Markiplier.
Jack created videos on the full release once per day throughout January 2018. He finished the story line on February 1st, 2018 and had since created videos just exploring. He had decided to make the videos once every two days due to struggling with making the series daily.
In episode 30 of the full release, Jack revealed that he will put the series on hold due to finding a lack of things to do in game. On December 25, 2020, he replayed the game for Nostalgia Week. On April 21, 2023, he played the multiplayer version with his partner Gab Smolders.
