One of the scariest non-horror games ever made. The first time you hear a Reaper, you'll never forget it. A superb survival game with none of the frustrating aspects that often plague the genre. Highly recommended and should be preserved for posterity.

Why isn't this game on GoG yet? It is one of my fav underwater games. I didn't care for the follow on, but this one was nearly perfect in every way. Many biomes, great crafting, and great exploration.
Subnautica was my first real pc game next to minecraft, I've had so much much fun playing it. one of favorite pc games that opened the door for my love of computers in general. Would love to own it DRM free and play for years to come.
Subnautica is absolutely one of my favorite games. The atmosphere and story are on-point. I love the feeling of exploring the depths, and there is some real terror to be found. I would snatch it up on GOG in a heartbeat to get an offline installer I could use with my mod library forever. This is one of my dream gog games

Subnautica to gra, która od pierwszej minuty wciągnęła mnie bez reszty. Już na starcie, kiedy zanurzyłem się w głębiny tej obcej planety, poczułem nieodpartą mieszankę zachwytu i niepokoju – emocji, które stały się moimi codziennymi towarzyszami podczas eksploracji podwodnego świata. Co najbardziej urzekło mnie w Subnautica, to niesamowita dbałość o detale. Każdy zakamarek oceanu, od subtelnie oświetlonych raf koralowych, po mroczne i tajemnicze głębiny, został tak realistycznie oddany, że czułem się, jakbym naprawdę przemierzał nieznane wody. Odkrywanie starożytnych ruin, napotkanie egzotycznych, czasem groźnych stworzeń, a nawet spokojne momenty, gdy podziwiałem piękno naturalnych krajobrazów – wszystko to budowało we mnie niezłomne poczucie przygody. Mechanika gry również zasługuje na ogromne uznanie. Budowanie własnej bazy, zbieranie surowców i rozwijanie technologii stały się dla mnie prawdziwym wyzwaniem, które dawało ogromną satysfakcję z każdej pokonanej przeszkody. Każda decyzja miała wpływ na moje przetrwanie, co sprawiało, że gra była nie tylko angażująca, ale i emocjonująca. Jednak z czasem, zanurzając się coraz głębiej w mroczne rejony oceanu, poczułem, że Subnautica odsłania swoją mroczną stronę. To, co na początku zachwycało egzotyczną urodą, zaczęło przeistaczać się w arenę przerażającej grozy. Każdy cień, każdy niespodziewany dźwięk budziły we mnie uczucie osamotnienia, a echo własnego oddechu przypominało o nieuchronnym zagrożeniu. Mrok głębin skrywał niewyobrażalny strach, który sprawiał, że granica między snem a koszmarem stawała się coraz bardziej rozmyta.
The first time I dove into the ocean and saw the majestic creatures. Also the crafting/survival aspect of the game combined with the mystery was gripping. This game is sorely needed to be preserved on GOG.
I lost my balls playing this game. I have a fear of the ocean and this made it worse. I wish to unsee this and everything I did here, I am traumatized. I can never turn back. 10/10 would play again.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TimeThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the fifth main installment of The Legend of Zelda series and the first to be released for the Nintendo 64. It was one of the most highly anticipated games of its age, and is listed among the greatest video games ever created by numerous websites and magazines. The gameplay of Ocarina of Time was revolutionary for its time, it has arguably made more of an impact on later games in the series than any of its predecessors even though they had the same cores of exploration, dungeons, puzzles and item usage. Among the gameplay mechanics, one of the most noteworthy is the time-traveling system. The game begins with the player controlling the child Link, but later on an adult Link becomes a playable character as well and each of them has certain unique abilities. Ocarina of Time also introduces the use of music to solve puzzles: as new songs are learned, they can be used to solve puzzles, gain access to new areas and warp to different locations. Dungeon exploration is somewhat more puzzle-oriented than in earlier games but they are not too complex.

Fatal Frame
Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera. Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are. The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling. The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.
