I share this sentiment. I always felt that calling this "horror" was inappropriate, because this isn't anything Lovecraftian (unless you use the mods). These creatures aren't monsters, they're just wild animals surviving in their natural environment, and we are the invasive species ill-suited for said environment.
Him not being seen on sonar feels more like a “we want this to be scary” decision rather than a realistic one. He’s just invisible, sound would still bounce off him. Hell, sound NEEDS to bounce off of him since that’s how he hears things.
@@RoundusMongus Actually, you can see at 2:30 in the video, a PDA alert pops up when u enter the Silence's territory that says "Wave Amplitudes diminishing.", which is what the silence does, it doesn't block noise, it quiets it down to the point where only it, or something with hearing as sensitive as it can hear it, including the Seamoth. The soundwaves get so quiet that the Seamoth can't pick them up as they bounce off of the Silence.
@@on_the_inverse_5193 Okay but how does it do that? Evidently it doesn’t have very sharp hearing, as a seamoth on silent running, (which isn’t actually silent) can sneak past it.
The silence is more meant as a leviathan that stalks the player and since it’s 100% blind unlike the reapers(in the code) it’s in my opinion even scarier
I think it comes from the uncanny valley, the reapers have a very gritty, realistic design, very similar to that of real deep sea creatures (along with a hefty amount of shark), which our brains recognize as something to be afraid of. Meanwhile, the much more sci-fi "alien" looking designs of the Ghost, Sea Dragon, and Emperor levithans, along with the Silence, don't hit that same primal fear as the Reaper does. That uncannyness of the fierce predator of the deep blue looking for its next meal hits much harder than the alien bendy-straw shrieking like a banshee as it lazes around it's territory. Im not a psychologist or anything, so it's best to take the psychology stuff with a spoonful of salt
Tip for the seamoth. The more directions you have pressed, the faster you go. The easiest is to hold "W"+"Spacebar" while looking down. It speeds you up from 9m/s to 12. Then if you strafe with it, holding "W"+"D"+"Spacebar" while looking down left, you speed up to 15m/s
I am more afraid of the dark ocean than anything in it. I get hit once and I just get angry and fight back. But if you just keep teasing me but never actually attack me you make me turn around and run
@thisguyhd6591 Same. That's why Subnautica is so satisfying to me. It essentially is you starting as a minnow and moving up to apex predator where the things in the dark are now scared of you. Once you get a Prawn and a grapple arm, it changes from fear to "rip and tear, until it's done"
When you look down in subnautica and see nothing but dark water and seemingly endless abyss, can you sanely say then that darkness is not more scary than leviathan that are only good for shock value?
The darkness is way scarier than any of the leviathans to me, Its just that im way more afraid of being alone in a dark place than being with the leviathans, like the void isn't scary with all the ghost leviathans screaming at you, its scary when you go far enough where they will leave you alone. This is how I am with every game, especially sandbox games like garrysmod or minecraft, I need some sort of entities around me so I won't feel uneasy in an empty map or cave.
Using Sonar attracts The Silence, as it is looking for sound emissions to hunt and is blind. A cyclops on silent running at the lowest speed might pass, plus creature decoys are known to be effective

Yeah, it's design just made me let out a massive "ehhhh" when I saw it behind him. Probably the least scary leviathan if it was in vanilla, just does not look menacing.
They'll probably flesh out its model and animations as the mod develops, I remember how stupid the Sea Dragon looked when it was first added. I'm just glad they're doing something creative with the leviathans instead of just going "bigger=better" like the dumb Gargantuan mod.
@@ABonafideSkeletonI mean. That mod is based off a real in game skeleton, so it’s not just there to be bigger. And it, despite being way bigger, is somehow more fluid than this thing.

But don’t worry, if you try and escape as soon as the message appears, you’ll be out of the void before the ghosts appear. Yea? Just keep in mind, you have quite some time to escape before the ghosts appear.
@@teme7354 Activate the ghost command, they can’t see you and suddenly it’s not scary anymore lol.

Or like me I just always use the commands as I’m not interested in playing normally, just want to have as much fun as possible.
I would look up a Subnautica map online, that way you'll know which biomes are actually right on the edge of the Deadzone. There's a really good map that shows the location of all predatory surface leviathans, too, which is even more useful
A lot of leviathans loose their fear factor when you realize they maneuver like a floating brick. The only one I refuse to play with is the sea dragon, the fire breath is fine but the instant kill on the mouth is bull.

Trying to get myself to go straight into the black abyss of the void towards the signal was like fighting against every instinct in my body, this thing scared me so much, as much as the first time I ever played this game and I loved it, it's already my favourite modded Leviathan ever (Not many to choose from sad) I was basically peptalking myself through it like you would on a horrible roller coaster. I am genuinely shocked you made it there with the Seamoth, I could not get halfway there without it literally appearing out of nowhere and killing me in one. I had to bring my cyclops, use a mixture of decoys, silent running, shield and slowest speed setting to get past it. At one point it literally tipped my cyclops vertically, set it on fire and I fell all the way down to the engine, I had to climb back up the cyclops using my furniture so I could get to the fire suppression system. THEN I had to get outside and repair the cyclops with the thing swimming around. It was terrifying, I loved it.

So dark, and your lifepod immediately starts ascending once you leave it, bc even it doesn't want to be there anymore
Hey a fellow Subnautic veteran :D Your movement as soon as you noticed you were entering its territory was neat, looks like you already lost most signs of thalassophobia ^^
nice tho the electrified hull might be good Also either dive under the island to avoid the leviathan or get out the submarine and quickly do the thing. Don't just idle there until you get destroyed. 😅
I can’t place what it is exactly about this design that just doesn’t quite hit it, but the atmosphere is top notch. Like something just looks off and too out of place about the creature design, but the way its colours cause it to so effectively vanish into the water and how after a while you can hear it responding to the sonar pings is absolutely peak deep ocean midnight and abyssal zone terror.
Its perfect, Its invisible to Sonar its horrifiying just needs to nullificate the sound of the vehicle and have to make a huge Roar as jumpscare And it would be perfect.
I think an echoing but drowned subtle clickey gurgle that almost blends in as the sound of things scrathing the seamoth but giving a clear sign that something is off will be more scary, as the main feature of the thing is that it's a stealthy leviathan that appears without advice.
Btw the silence is supposed to roar when it spotts you but you will hear it from the wrong direction to lure you to it's jaws, as the mod is on early development, it probably got bugged.
@@carlostejeda4341 Nah, like you said what makes it terrifing is that you cant see it or detect it but you know you entered into his territory due to sound nullification like if you became DEF or hearing your own heartbeats until it attacks. It would be nice that the seamoth could survive at least one attack with the diamond shield, or evade the destruction with the electric shock.
@@carlostejeda4341 or maybe he acts as counter mesure of the "Mesmer leviathan". "the silence" renders radar, sound and GPS coordinates useless in a group of islands and stays still for most of the time and you need to install a vehicle upgrade to detect the water disturbance that indicates the leviathan moving and his hunting zone, but not the leviathan itself. Of course to develop that tech you need to "scan the silence".
As someone who has read and checked all the mod wikis for Subnautica, the sonar was driving me nuts. The Silence hunts by SOUND. It literally dampens all other noise to listen to it's prey. Like there was literally NO WORSE REACTION than sonar spamming.
Thing about sonar in game is that it’s a double edged sword, using it gives you a better look at your surroundings, but same time makes your position more clear to others and makes you a target just begging to be attacked.
When I look at the Void Leviathan, I just for some strange reason feel like it's not scary for some reason. Sure that thing is big and quiet, but when its glowing like that... Yeah I don't feel scared enough... Probably because I have a huge fascination of the ocean.
Definitely needs more animation tuning on the fins, they put alot of rigging on the head. but so far the mod looks pretty solid for how early of a life it has, plus at least it is public access unlike Return of the Ancients. Warching the creator make the model and format for the mechanics is really cool. Since they had silent running and the use of creature decoys in mind which are highly under utilized pieces of tech in the game. Its design is meant to slither with the fins acting more like gliders in the water, but based on how they rigged it they could tune it better, especially since based on the video of the creator making the model as I said he focused way more.ok the head for model rigging.
@@Brant-vh5mk Again, modding takes time, and besides, if I was making a mod like that, I wouldn't release it to the public until it was as good as I could make it, which seems to be their mindset, too.
Remember every modded subnautica ytber was like "Guys is REAL idky ppl are saying it's fake". But they show NOTHING but a black screen saying "THERE IT ISSS OMFG " wouldn't call those good times but. Good times.
The silence scares me three times as much as the gargantuan. Reason being this. The garg can in no way sneak up on anything. It is too loud and large for that ever to be possible. The silence makes no noise at all, can be nearly invisible, and has nothing to clue you in to how close it is beyond the foreboding pound of your own heart. Even the sonar (which attracts it like a dinner bell) fails to reflect off it's body, whether it's optically visible or not. That implies that it absorbs sound perfectly. And that isn't even to mention it's signature ability. Emiting sound at the exact same amplitudes as the surrounding ambience but with opposite wavelengths, effectively silencing all ambient sound... so the only thing that can make sound in it's presence is other living things. Understanding that, one would be lead to assume it's an apex predator that eats like a king. And yet a scan will tell you it's starving? How can that be!?
These mods need to make the giant leviathans move slower so you get a sense of scale and so the turning doesn’t look so janky. It was hard to tell just how massive it was until it started clipping through the islands.
This one is very WIP. The mod is super ambitious, as it adds a bunch more leviathans in addition to tons of new islands. Aci is behind it, and has a bunch of dev updates.
@@plaidhatter1674 I get that, but I feel like it’s a super common problem. Almost every mod that adds a new giant leviathan makes it move way too quickly.
for the literal first beta draft it's very impressive. Especially considering that one team has literally spent about 3 bloody years creating the gargantuan leviathan and it's still not available, and looks FAR more jank than this from videos.
God I hate it when my sonar doesn't hit anything. It just instantly hits me with that impending doom because you can't see anything but wide open ocean even with the sonar.
Wished they had darker ocean parts in the game. Pitch dark ocean is my biggest fear. I've ran right up to the leviathans and stabbed them but everytime i have to look down when I exit my vehicle at the floating island, i just about have a heart attack.
Bruh look at how goofy he looks, it’s very clear that the reaper and ghost have a lot smoother movements, and overall design such as sound. There is no way anyone is actually getting scared by this mod
This mod does have a lot more going on besides this particular leviathan. If you want to see the progress of it, the channel Aci is behind this one. Besides, the gargantuan leviathan was janky and broken for a while as well.
How in the hell you didnt get killed in the first instance by the silence? Like, he literally moves by following your sound, and you went all the wsy down with the sonar active, just, HOW?!
The Silence looks like a playable demo from the CotV mod team. The whole project seems super ambitious but even if the whole thing doesn't come out, these little slices seem cool.
@@dodmanquatro9030 I don't know how to explain, it don't look like anything that foi see in the game. I mean, it looks like a Ghost-like Reaper leviathan, but somehow uncanny?

Awful take, this leviathan is literally in beta and it is already beautiful and terrifying. You seem to be the only person on earth with this opinion so poor you. I literally had the best experience I have had since the first time I played this game with this mod.
@@durpanda123 Goddamn bro it's called an opinion I literally laughed when I saw it for the first time and a lot of people in the comments section agree with me but alr
I feel the same way, I have thalassophobia and playing through Subnautica was absolute horror to me, and while the tension building up in the video was neat, the reveal of the leviathan wasn't scary to me. The leviathan is weirdly cartoony fantasy creature, rather than an actual deep water living thing. Devs did a good job on many of the creatures in the first game, and the point is proven even further in Below Zero, where the leviathans didn't hit the same spot quite as well (although still pretty well).
This thing is super bare bones, as the mod is less than a year in development. This thing is also only one of many new leviathans that are going to be added. The thing is super janky since it is so new.
Subnautica is not a horror game. It's an ocean game.

"the silence" renders radar, sound and GPS coordinates useless in a group of islands and stays still for most of the time and you need to install a vehicle upgrade to detect the water disturbance that indicates the leviathan moving and his hunting zone, but not the leviathan itself. Of course to develop that tech you need to "scan the silence".
Wait, so Call of the Void is officially an actual project that is being made now?
Yes it is. This is just part 1 of the mod. More will follow soon
@@Milan0807 exciting, I haven't been keeping up with Aci's channel so I wasn't sure
I love the way. Subnautica is set up where the reapers and other animals will attack and then pull back to give you PTSD.😂
As someone who has read and checked all the mod wikis for Subnautica, the sonar was driving me nuts.
The Silence hunts by SOUND. It literally dampens all other noise to listen to it's prey.
Like there was literally NO WORSE REACTION than sonar spamming.
Thing about sonar in game is that it’s a double edged sword, using it gives you a better look at your surroundings, but same time makes your position more clear to others and makes you a target just begging to be attacked.
This mod has some insane potential, I really hope it reaches it
So the silence hunts based on sound and you decide to ping your sonar which is just a giant sound that echoes
I never realized how large the silence was. I thought it was about the size of a reaper leviathan, but this thing is BIG.
this mod and return of the ancients whenever it comes out are gonna be absolutely stunning in VR
He really went there with a seamoth, AND ALMOST NO UPGRADES!
I learnt to do the most counter-intuitive thing: get out of the vehicle; and drop a decoy.
Oh hey, the silence! I recall seeing this thing on Deviantart YEARS ago. Cool that it's actually been modded in finally.
Well it wasn't just your heart that stopped holy shit
💀
When I look at the Void Leviathan, I just for some strange reason feel like it's not scary for some reason.
Sure that thing is big and quiet, but when its glowing like that...
Yeah I don't feel scared enough...
Probably because I have a huge fascination of the ocean.
That mod creature was scary for about two seconds until I saw it rotate 😅 and no sounds either? Sheesh...
I like the fact this creature is starved and isn't even as big as it could be
Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?
Definitely needs more animation tuning on the fins, they put alot of rigging on the head. but so far the mod looks pretty solid for how early of a life it has, plus at least it is public access unlike Return of the Ancients.
Warching the creator make the model and format for the mechanics is really cool. Since they had silent running and the use of creature decoys in mind which are highly under utilized pieces of tech in the game. Its design is meant to slither with the fins acting more like gliders in the water, but based on how they rigged it they could tune it better, especially since based on the video of the creator making the model as I said he focused way more.ok the head for model rigging.
Man without that sonar you would've 100% alt+f4'd
I hope this mod will have better fate than return of the ancients.
What do you meam?
Return of The Ancients isn't canceled, if that's what you're implying. It's just taking a while, modding takes time, it's just how it is.
@@cartersmith8904at least you can download and play a preview for this mod
@@Brant-vh5mk Again, modding takes time, and besides, if I was making a mod like that, I wouldn't release it to the public until it was as good as I could make it, which seems to be their mindset, too.
@@cartersmith8904 I agree, I just wish there was something small that can be tried out.
Remember every modded subnautica ytber was like "Guys is REAL idky ppl are saying it's fake".
But they show NOTHING but a black screen saying "THERE IT ISSS OMFG " wouldn't call those good times but. Good times.
I even jumped a bit i cant believe that you witnessed it 10 or maybe even 20x more than me 😅😐
3:32 Тут я начал подозревать

The silence scares me three times as much as the gargantuan. Reason being this. The garg can in no way sneak up on anything. It is too loud and large for that ever to be possible. The silence makes no noise at all, can be nearly invisible, and has nothing to clue you in to how close it is beyond the foreboding pound of your own heart. Even the sonar (which attracts it like a dinner bell) fails to reflect off it's body, whether it's optically visible or not. That implies that it absorbs sound perfectly.
And that isn't even to mention it's signature ability. Emiting sound at the exact same amplitudes as the surrounding ambience but with opposite wavelengths, effectively silencing all ambient sound... so the only thing that can make sound in it's presence is other living things.
Understanding that, one would be lead to assume it's an apex predator that eats like a king. And yet a scan will tell you it's starving? How can that be!?
Does this expand the base map of subnautica into the void a bit more or...?
It expands the map a little bit in the void
These mods need to make the giant leviathans move slower so you get a sense of scale and so the turning doesn’t look so janky. It was hard to tell just how massive it was until it started clipping through the islands.
This one is very WIP. The mod is super ambitious, as it adds a bunch more leviathans in addition to tons of new islands. Aci is behind it, and has a bunch of dev updates.
@@plaidhatter1674 I get that, but I feel like it’s a super common problem. Almost every mod that adds a new giant leviathan makes it move way too quickly.
Rip the ai bugged so hard with how many times it was aggro'd with sonar
for the literal first beta draft it's very impressive. Especially considering that one team has literally spent about 3 bloody years creating the gargantuan leviathan and it's still not available, and looks FAR more jank than this from videos.
God I hate it when my sonar doesn't hit anything. It just instantly hits me with that impending doom because you can't see anything but wide open ocean even with the sonar.
Honestly the ghost leviathan scared me more than that other thing did
It is pretty goofy. Still, for how early of a mod this is, it is pretty impressive.
I think I would cry or never play a water game ever again if I installed this mod.
The seamoth really should have a camera in the back.
This game scared my harcore caracter so much that he will surely die hiden in his base...
3:15 "Can you stop pinging my discord."
The sonar is killing me*, IT HEARS IT.
Each time that sound pings my heart skips a beat.*
Wished they had darker ocean parts in the game. Pitch dark ocean is my biggest fear. I've ran right up to the leviathans and stabbed them but everytime i have to look down when I exit my vehicle at the floating island, i just about have a heart attack.
Please tell me. How to install that mod? Can I run it on an already existing safe file?
2:15 I'm panicking! Use ur fucking radar!!
Not scared anymore of Ghost Leviathans 🙃
wat xD play normal hardcore once and you will never be scared of anyone

..... Well thats.... That's a new liviathan
you’re 8 get out bruh
Sure is, not so friendly looking one too 😂
@@saucysponge3660Well he joined yt 5 years ago so i dont think so
the really janky movements the leviathans make kind of ruins it for me, cant help but giggle seeing one do a sudden 360 for no apparent reason
It's literally in beta, like the very first draft.
Fair enough, though keep in mind how early of a mod this is
Bruh look at how goofy he looks, it’s very clear that the reaper and ghost have a lot smoother movements, and overall design such as sound. There is no way anyone is actually getting scared by this mod
This mod does have a lot more going on besides this particular leviathan. If you want to see the progress of it, the channel Aci is behind this one. Besides, the gargantuan leviathan was janky and broken for a while as well.
I would freak out no cap
Don't talk like one of them, you're not! Even if you'd like to be.
@@MDE_never_dies I didn't quite get that, like I'm Brazilian, but I don't know if they speak Portuguese so....
@@MDE_never_dies the fuck does that mean?-
No cap on god?
@@Kittynom Yeah man, I'm trying to understand too
3:38 words cannot describe how bad that bump sound scared me
Man this guy is underrated
Thank you very much! Trying my best
No problem
I jumped so hard I slammed my knee against my desk-
💀
How in the hell you didnt get killed in the first instance by the silence?
Like, he literally moves by following your sound, and you went all the wsy down with the sonar active, just, HOW?!
the depths are calling....
Is it possible to download this?
Yes it is! Search for it on Nexusmods
i cant find it, do you have a link?
@@Milan0807
The Silence looks like a playable demo from the CotV mod team. The whole project seems super ambitious but even if the whole thing doesn't come out, these little slices seem cool.
sick a new creature to scan
The exact moment I realized… oh. It’s _that_ big isn’t it?
When you see the end of it's tail... But then you see the ACTUAL end of it's tail. Jesus christ.
Seamoth:☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
the subnautica fanbase proceding to make the less "subnautica like" leviathans
Why? I think it fits
@@dodmanquatro9030 I don't know how to explain, it don't look like anything that foi see in the game. I mean, it looks like a Ghost-like Reaper leviathan, but somehow uncanny?
@@naru835q7 maybe model or animations are goofy for you? I think something like this could be in the game. Invisible entities aren't something impossible in a world where fish can hypnotize you. +I like the idea of staying silent
@@dodmanquatro9030 of course a fish that forces you stay in silent would be real Nice, but this leviathan have so much body to be scary for me. look at the ghosts their hydrodynamic feels perfect in the game, but the silence? Seems like a movie like sea monster.
@@naru835q7 true, but still, it's a mod, and I think that developers could do better animations for silence. But still, it's not a final product, so, we'll see
I think a lot of people don't realise just how much care the subnautica team put into designing truly terrifying leviathans until they try and make their own and it looks like a weird comedic glow stick with big teeth flailing about in the water
Awful take, this leviathan is literally in beta and it is already beautiful and terrifying. You seem to be the only person on earth with this opinion so poor you. I literally had the best experience I have had since the first time I played this game with this mod.
@@durpanda123 Goddamn bro it's called an opinion I literally laughed when I saw it for the first time and a lot of people in the comments section agree with me but alr
I feel the same way, I have thalassophobia and playing through Subnautica was absolute horror to me, and while the tension building up in the video was neat, the reveal of the leviathan wasn't scary to me. The leviathan is weirdly cartoony fantasy creature, rather than an actual deep water living thing. Devs did a good job on many of the creatures in the first game, and the point is proven even further in Below Zero, where the leviathans didn't hit the same spot quite as well (although still pretty well).
This thing is super bare bones, as the mod is less than a year in development. This thing is also only one of many new leviathans that are going to be added. The thing is super janky since it is so new.
Personally I find ghost leviathan’s very adorable.
Why am I watching this at night?
It's just Subnautica
This mod is much better experienced in the cyclops, I don’t think it was intended to try this in a seamoth
The fact its so big and yet so silent
Like owls but a gigantic heart attack with fins.
All these ‘SUBNAUTICA MOD HORROR’ videos all boil down to a poorly animated, enormous spaghetti monster spinning around aimlessly
Most of them are still under development to be fair
@@hamzawakkas894 yeah. My expectations be too much
How long was it following you...
now this is your problem you died, you had shit loads of time to pick up the data
I was scared asf to go outside of my seamoth
i thought so, i dont understand why people scared, its not your real life at risk there xD@@Milan0807
He was in the "please end it quick" mode.
How big is the slience tho
Biiiiig
it moves like it only weighs 1 pound like a stiff kit
I do not blame you at all for visually flipping out lol
