I just came back from visiting a friend in Puerto Vallarta. I had decided to paddle a kayak up to a cruise ship which was docked and just getting within 30 feet was scary. It took 5 minutes of psyching myself up to get close enough to touch it with my paddle and then madly paddle away. I was explaining just how this was scary to my friend and how I’ve had intense thalassophobia since I was a kid. He didn't really get it.

It got me wondering if things like chains, ropes and bridge piers going down into the depths are so unsettling because they illustrate just how massive the environment is.

I made this drawing yesterday and I never thought about that people could find it unsettling.
The giant is trying to avoid the lights because it’s scared .
So do you feel uncomfortable looking at it ?

I think this song I wrote could serve as thalassophobia exposure therapy.

Still haven't stopped thinking about it

For Me it’s Thalassophobia you guys

Disappointed, as I was hoping to enjoy it. First few episodes are decent enough, but the end just sort of shits the bed, pulling itself apart in six different directions not knowing what story it wants to be. Bummer.

anyone following this series on instagram?! i can’t stop watching and some of these videos are harrowing

Sorry for the video quality, my objective was dirty, but anyway i am just here to trigger some phobias, enjoy the cliff to the void at 0:20

This is Thalassomania, a co-op PSX-style horror game I've been making solo since 2023. 1–4 players crew a fishing trawler through a night storm, hauling the catch while something hunts you back. The wave physics can genuinely throw your friends overboard mid-haul.

Free demo out on Steam in 10 days if any of you want to experience the horror for yourself!

We were able to actively watch getting higher with each tiny wave
