I regularly consume horror media - games, movies, shows, stories - for fun and this is the only time I've tempted to stop playing because my nerves have had enough. There's something about descending several hundred meters below surface level, into pitch-black darkness, as the roars of giant sea monsters echo in the background, that triggers all sort of primal anxiety.

I refuse to play Subnautica because of exactly what KP described, even though I feel like I'd most likely enjoy it

At one point early in the game I was swimming around for funsies and thought "alright, think I've got a handle on this game", saved (there's only one save file), and 1/10 of a second later got blindsided by a 50-foot long sea monster that had been sneaking up on me

Subnautica has become my go-to game to relax. I've beaten it several times and gotten halfway through many times more. Not to say there aren't scary moments when attacked but I just love the ocean atmosphere and the exploring/gathering/scanning loop means there's always something to do.

For comparison, I couldn't really get into Outer Wilds, but what little I played definitely scared me way more. Something about hurtling through space often triggered a primal terror.

Dark Bramble I get for sure but Outer Wilds in general was way more... relaxing and enchanting. Like what about those soothing guitar strums in space leaves the door open to primal terror?

Well I guess if two different folks now have commented that they felt the same thing I guess I can't argue too much, but "fear" was pretty near the bottom of my list of feelings in most of the game!

Calling Outer Wilds a scary game is kinda whack to me. I mean, it has scary moments, but I'd call, say, Ocarina of Time a scarier game than that.

I'm not saying its a scary game, but I think it is a scarier version of Subnautica.

I didn't find Subnautica particluarly scary either

Subnautica was absolutely phenomenal. The final journey in that game truly feels like an accomplishment. I never thought just getting to a location could feel so challenging.
