Having a fear of water, especially deep water, open water, or water where you can’t see the bottom, is super common. As a result, it’s not surprising that plenty of game devs have decided to exploit that and design some truly terrifying water levels.
Whether there’s something else in there with you, the fear of drowning, or the fact that your movement is massively slowed, being under the surface might not be your idea of a fun time.
