As an old veteran, words cannot express the mixture of pleasure and horror at seeing you play for the first time, stumbling across coral, bladderfish, and cave sulfur with fortuitous timing, yet completely missing the O2 tank, swim fins, and disinfected water. I believe I felt a moment of physical pain when you built your first water locker, remembering the hours I spent using and managing them before discovering the habitat builder. Quite entertaining.

Non-Spoilery Tips! - There are buttons that allow you to rise and sink in the water without having to always aim up or down. - On the controller it’s the triggers, though I found myself getting a bit confused since it’s opposite to the rise/fall controls from Outer Wilds, but they can be swapped in the menu! - Next steps: I’d recommend working towards building a habitat - Without spoilers, the game will begin to give you breadcrumbs the longer you play, just to suggest your next steps. In the meantime, I found the process of building a habitat helped me feel a better sense of understanding and progression while exploring and building more things along the way - Equipment such as Fins and O2 tanks don’t stack, but you can check your currently equipped items to compare with what you have or are missing - “Unstuck” is an option to move a player from being physically stuck in the environment. Only meant for emergencies - SAVE OFTEN!! It’s very easy to lose lots of progress as there is no autosave in the game (speaking from foolish experience)

Awesome start to the game! This is one game where they may be long periods later on where you feel stuck or like you’re not progressing, just remember that’s ok. You’re always learning and increasing your ability to survive. Non-spoiler tips: -Craft equipment like the fins and air tank. You have NO oxygen tank right now, you’re just holding your breath; the tank helps a lot. -Scan EVERYTHING. Much of it is just lore, but much of it is also super important for gameplay. There’s a little scanner logo on the bottom right whenever you can scan anything. -Save often. There’s no auto save and while the game has gotten much stabler, it’s still prone to crashing occasionally. -Start building a habitat as soon as you can! People, myself included, often don’t start building until much later, but trust me, living out of the life pod is like living out of your car. Doable, but not fun long term. -When in doubt, keep exploring. Progress is pretty much always made by crafting new things and reaching new places. I look forward to watching more!

Really looking forward to this. Don't rush it, enjoy the scenery and mystery this game has to offer, looking forward to your journey! Non-spoilery tips: build a base with lots of storage :) Scan everything, proceed at your own pace!

Loved watching you try out Subnautica & a genre of game that you were not all that familiar with. Really hope you continue with the game. Getting to see how you play and the thought process behind your decisions was really cool. Seeing you a little out of your comfort zone but still very much taken with the game, was really special. A small tip is that anytime you hover-over something new, you will see the little scanner-tool icon pop up in the bottom right, indicating that you have not yet scanned it.

You have proven to me in your Hollow Knight playthrough that you are a really good gamer. Good techniques and reflexes, observant, takes time to think and read. That means seeing you playing Subnautica will be just wonderful! And also you are doing a blind playthrough. This game, more than others, really needs to be played with no external information. Even a little youtube comment can spoiler things.

I'd say it's pretty mandatory.

my main comment is just keep exploring and enjoy this strange new world, to seek out new life, and boldly go where no one has gone before :) but no joke, the exploration and discovery of this world was the main draw for me and why i liked it as much as i did, and why it's one of my favorite games alongside hollow knight, where exploration and exploring that world was the best thing, same as here.. so yeah, really looking forward for the next part :)))

Subnautica is a wonderful game. Great story and visuals but the real joy is exploration and discovery.

If theres a game I could forget and play again, it certainly is this one. I am so jealous of people that can play this game for the first time.

Tips: Make an air tank and fins so you can stay underwater longer and swim faster. Also look for scannable wreckage to unlock new recipes like the seaglide and beacon (which you found early on before you had a scanner).

She's like your super nice Auntie that gives you hugs everytime you pass by her house and has many plants

Subnautica is one of the best games of all time. All the mystery of what lurks beneath you. I can't wait until the 3rd installment.

Non spoilery tips: - scan everything, it's important; game always warn you when you have something unscanned in bottom right of a screen but you have to select scanner first - grind supplies; yes, it is smart to have some supplies like water and food stucked in your inventory because that way you can explore more. - check your basic equipment, see if you can craft something, you are basically naked. - save often - explore, explore, explore...

It's very entertaining to see someone play this with basically zero context. And a testament to the games design that you are able to learn so quickly.

this game is literally tied for favourite game along with hollow knight for me and just like hollow knight i cried when i finished it. I'm sure you will absolutely love it!

Fun fact that doesn't matter much for this game in particular, but it's made by the same development team that also made Natural Selection, a series of a first-person/strategy games facing humans off against an alien species of rapidly-mutating nasties. Subnautica is set in the same universe, meaning that while you're swimming around this alien ocean, planets are being consumed by a rapidly-spreading hostile lifeform! Maybe you're better off on this planet.

This game is the perfect example of game development & early access done absolutely right. Watching it grow through all it's iterations and finally playing the end product was an absolut treat. I still can't get over how absolutely stunning this game is, graphics- and ambience-wise. Hope you have loads of fun with it! Take your time, these first precious moments will never return.

... the way I shout 'no' when anyone makes a floating storage locker...

Coming off the coattails of your Outer Wilds playthrough, I'm very excited to see you experience this game!

this is your first video I see. This is my favorite game, and THIS is how it ment to be played for the first time. not knowing anything, but having the curiosity to and the patience to pay attention to everything new. awesome!

Unstuck just moved your character out of a location in which you are permanently stuck, like clipping out of bounds or something. Don’t worry too much about following the story, it will follow you, for the most part. Just go explore, find blueprints for things to make exploring easier and enjoy the scenery!

The Unstuck-option is just an option that teleports you out of a situation you are in. It was originally in the Early Access version of the game due to the high chance of bugs, but left in because it is very useful if you encounter an otherwise game-breaking bug. Also: You just exploring and building things IS fun to watch. That's exactly what the game is about.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think I’d watch through every moment of this playthrough, I thought I’d maybe just tune in for key moments, but I’m really loving it all so far!

It hurts me how she actively seems to avoid making the Oxygen tank. Hope she figures that out in the other parts.

She goes swimming through tubes at night and up to all the creatures like oh hello there! And all I can hear is Ralph going "I'm in danger!" 😅

Your gasps of amazement when you first hit the water is what I love most! How gentle your voice gets around the fish and your awe of the reefbacks AHH! I love it! With that being said: it got dark really quick and then light again because of an eclipse by what I assume would be 4546A or a moon…

imagine finding yourself on an exo-planet with only a slightly-sarcastic PDA for company.

Love watching ppl play subnautica for the first time... Reminds me of the awe and wonder and fear I had.... I kinda get judgy about people playing Subnautica by whether or not they read the Datapad and the info they give.... Hate people who "I'm playing it blind!!!" and don't bother reading any of the info they are given or even read the pda's they collect or things they scan....and then complain they can't find what they need, or know anything... You're doing great. 👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊

More of a mystery-solving aspect than puzzles, but there is definitely a storyline; one of the best I've experienced in over 40 years of gaming.

✊😃 Feeling spoit with all this new SymbaLily content. Thank you Amber, for your hard work and dedication. I think it's pretty safe to assume that we all really appreciate it

Subnautica, my favourite game of all time. I love watching people play this for their first time.

Allways a delight seeing someone playing Subnautica for the first time.

Non spoiler tips: 1: Inventory and storage can get full really quick. It's unlikely you will need all the rubber and seeds you have now and if you do you can get more easily. 2: If you haven't already use some of the rubber to make fins to swim faster and titanium for an oxygen tank to swim longer. 3: keep your food/water meters up and you won't have to carry as much food in your inventory. 4: If you find salt you can cure fish so they won't spoil when you go on long journeys. 5: Some of the corral you gathered can be used to make bleach and then turned into a really good source of water if you don't want to hurt the fish 😁 6: Titanium and Quartz are common but important resources to make a lot of things. So they're ok to drop if you have more value stuff but still worth collecting a good amount because they're used in a lot of stuff.

The fins and oxygen tank :( It's ok, everyone plays differently! :D When you first approached the big tentacle creatures, and the music hit and just your sense of awe at everything, it kind of made me emotional. It was so fascinating the first time I played this game, so it's wonderful to live it again vicariously through others! Can't wait to see more :)

Okay, I really appreciate how you're taking your time and reading everything and not looking things up. First off, do NOT look up where things are, you are supposed to get lost occasionally, it's okay. Second, there are several other things you can make that will give you things to do until the game provides you with other potential tasks. Don't sweat it, just make the other tools and do more exploring and investigating!

The acid mushroom not being safe was hilarious. :D

subnautica was one of the best gaming experiences i've had in 40 yrs.

Ah sweet, I love Subnautica. Have missed some of your last videos because it's games I still have to play but I have played this already so glad to be back able to watch some videos, hope you enjoy it and play the second one as well

The scanner logs are your Dark Souls item lore. Scan everything that can be scanned and read everything that can be read.

I love your voice. They make your playthroughs so relaxing. Thank you for the video.

OMG someone who reads the Databank! Essential if you want to get the most out of this game but hard to find in a let's play. Instant Subscribe! Looking forward to this playthrough!

Aurora: *explodes* Amber: *now I'm excited!*

Yes please! I'll always stop what I'm doing to watch another person's blind playthrough of Subnautica. And youtube knows I will, that's why it served up yours to me haha. Love it so far!

My favorite part about the power cell is that the recipe implies that it's really just two batteries duct-taped together

right off the bat i would recommend using mouse and keyboard rather than gamepad. gamepad was good for outer wilds mainly because of the 3-axis thrusters you have in that game. but this is a more standard 1st person experience, so mouse will definitely be easier imo

Yey, another game that I really like! There's a lot of inventory management and to do lists in this one, try not to get overwhelmed. Take things one step at a time and enjoy! First step would be to gather a stockpile of food and water. Then try building all the tools you need - you're off to a great start already with the scanner and the repair tool. Try scanning more, blueprints are gained from scanning equipment fragments from the wreckage. You do have blueprints for a suit, oxygen tank and fins, craft those. They will help you swim better and for longer. Explore gradually. Some areas, if they seem to hard, are probably for later, when you're better equipped. Others are just hard, period We're in for a ride! Hope it won't get too tedious for you!.

Love the green screen! Have fun playing in the water! Keep Walton away from the deep!

So excited for you to play this game! I found it when it came out and played it completely blind like you and it was an amazing experience! Looking forward to seeing you explore the world and uncover its secrets!

My favorite indie game! This should be good.

Subnautica is hands down One of my favorite games of all time.... If I could I would experience everything again for the 1st time

Build a base with solar energy. Do not use the air pump. Add to your base place shelves collect materials. Make a suba tank fins. Scan everything and anything. Search wrecks for blue prints like the sea glide. Hope this helps. Oh and keep track of your health water O2 food. And when you go to the ship bring a cutter some food water and a few other supplies. More supplies are on the ship.

Love to see peoples first playthrough of this game and see their reafction throughout. I would give an arm and a leg to be able to play it for the first time again without knowing anything about it.

I have probably watched four or five youtubers play this game over the years, just to chase the joy of watching someone else discover the "oh my god" moments in this game. its amazing.

Super excited for this! Perfectly suited to your video and play style, with a little bit of learning on the survival/crafting side.

You are in for a wild ride of wonders and horrors and I'm all here for it. It's always amazing watching someone experience this great game for the first time!

This is one of my favorite games ever. Please keep playing. Non-spoiler tip: Scan EVERYTHING.

I've watched dozens of KZreadrs do hundreds of hours of Subnautica and I really appreciated that you really delved into the PDA info... not a lot of people did so in this first hour of your video I learned a lot ! OK... it was all stuff I've learned already through the hundreds of hours I've watched before, but I never saw the PDA items gone into depth before so learned what was in that, which for a watcher new to Subnautica would be a real help. Cant' wait to watch you do the entire campaign... YOU"RE IN FOR A REAL TREAT !

So glad you've found this game. Non-spoiler tips: Explore, Scan, Check your PDA/Fabricator frequently to see what new tools and equipment you can produce to help you on your journey. The rest you'll work out just fine.

It's always fun to see people play this game blind. You kind of get to see how their brain works and it's interesting. Also the assumptions people make based off the UI and HUD. For instance, the O2 meter I think caused her to assume she already had an oxygen tank, which of course she doesn't. Because why would a dude on a space ship just be walking around with a dive tank on his back? He had to run to a life pod as his ship blew up and had no idea what the planet would be like when he got there. She also noted she was to slow to effectively catch fish but that never connected to making swim fins to move faster. On the other hand she found cave Sulphur very quickly compared to many others I've watched play. She places a high priority on exploration which in this game will almost certainly serve her very well. I was also quite curious to see how long before she figured out that the acid mushrooms did not in fact harm her when she picked them up the first time and that the noise was her O2 warning that just happened to go off at the exact same time. Quite amusing as soooooo many people immediately fill their inventory to the brim with them as they are usually the first collectable material you find and they don't yet know items don't stack or how many of them are useful to have around. I genuinely love seeing what people are able to figure out right away and what stumps them.

my excitement is immeasurable, and my day is blessed! im so excited to see you playing this game!

Playing Subnautica for the first time was such an incredible, amazing experience. I wish I could forget all about the game and start fresh again. :)

subnautica is one of the best gaming experiences ive ever had and im so happy ur playing it aaaa

I dunno how google decided to put this in my recommended but i'm glad it did. I hope to see the rest of subnautica and other series' from you. Some non-spoiler helpfulness: Handheld tools do not wear out/take damage, But some take a replaceable battery. Items in your quick bar are not lost when you die. Handy! Glass is made using quartz which are white crystals in the sand. The stalkers hide in the kept forest but aren't overly dangerous. You can wail on a lot of critters with the knife and they will run away(or die).

As you'll no doubt learn from playing Subnautica, we're a bit of a different community than most - one of the biggest pleasures of Subnautica isn't in playing it for the first time, it's in watching someone else play it for the first time, and that's what lead me to your channel. Your going into Subnautica with little prior knowledge makes your entrance into the game a delight to watch, especially your surprise at finding out it is a story in a science fiction setting. I adore the way you sing-song Alterra when you say the word, and that is what hooked me into keeping watching you play. I know I'm coming to this three weeks after you started play, and you have likely nearly finished the game by now, if indeed you haven't already finished, but I decided to subscribe to your channel less than 10 minutes into the video because of your wonderful voice, your sense of humor, and how playful a personality you seem to have.

Great video! At first I was thinking 'Oh no, Amber is just gonna say hi to all the fish while starving to death!'. I do appreciate the respect you gave Gary though. My tip would be oxygen, having more of it and being able to get to the surface faster.

Something about Subnautica is so captivating. I’ve watched so many people play through and experience it, and from the Subnautica community, virtually everyone loves just watching the “boring” parts of swimming around and exploring. So don’t worry because sometimes those quiet exploration moments are some of the best parts!
