This game is going to be the end of me

Just wanted to vent a little my frustration, even if I find the game fantastic.

I bought it following some advice from my friends and I've immediately fallen in love with the game, the exploration, the mystery...everything is so carefully and lovingly crafted, I spent a whole loop just letting it end from the edge of the solar system. Another loop I spent it just vibing on the moon. I enjoy trying to piece everything together or discovering something new each time I go out in the dark.

And then, I went to Giant's Deep, and my phobias got the best of me.

As soon as I passed the clouds and I saw the large ocean, I had to pause the game and close my eyes, my heart beating so fast as I tried to calm down. I had to quickly pause-unpause until I managed to fly out of the planet. I went back only after a couple of days, and even then I only managed to crash on a platform that brought me to some sort of construction place, before getting surprised when the island got shot up in the sky and then back down in the water.

I even managed to reach the destroyed cannon and learned so much! And I managed to get a glimpse of something dark and flashing in the water!

But each moment I pass there I just can't move, not even to leave the island I do manage to reach by accident, if I reach one.

I love this game so much and I'm afraid this could be a dealbreaker for me, even if I still try my best. I know I can keep exploring, but the idea of having to swim down is keeping me out of that damned place.

That's all, I just wanted to express some frustration with some other people that I'm sure will have felt something similar, I think I'll get back to Brittle Hollow or the Twins for now, at least there I'm only threatened by check notes a black hole and falling sand.
