Fear of the Unknown

Right now the game doesn’t feel scary enough for me, playing the first game I was so scared of deeper water and not knowing what to expect, with this game everythings mostly been too smooth, crossing the trench with the first collector is the closest I’ve been to being scared but the crossing isn’t that long, and water feels kinda bright so I can usually see the leviathan before I’m in danger (not to mention the music lets me know when it spots me, making it way more predictable). Some more deeper and darker open-water danger would be nice.

The shiver leviathan has some crazy good potential once it ends up in its own biome, but I feel like it would need loads of space and need to go pretty deep down, because the orange glowing circles are crazy scary in pitch dark water. The animations feel a bit clunky on it though.
