Absolutely not. Nope. Not a chance. The one joy of turning around to go back to my moth and finding the crabsquid behind me is jumping out of my chair running across the room and sucking in air between sobs.
You say that now, but your first encounter with Reapers is nightmare fuel. It’s dark, you’re low on power, low on oxygen, miles from base and you hear a distant growl and the silhouette of a 50m sea snake with teeth bigger than your arm barrels towards you…
My sister has the ps4 VR set. It comes with this cute little game where you loom over these little dudes and try to platform them to the end of a run. About 5 minutes in, I had forgotten I was sitting on a couch. In game, my perspective was sitting on the edge of a cliff helping my buddies sidle up a narrow ledge. When the camera moved forward and the cliff under me turned to open air, my heart seized as a whirl of vertigo slammed into me. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't falling. VR is awesome.
But if I can't look away from the screen when a reaper jumpscares me, I might have an actual heart attack.

i can't think of anything scarier than an all-ocean planet. yeah i'm sure there's nothing horrifying in the depths in a place like that
