You are Maneater's bull shark, loose in Subnautica 2's ocean. Hunt, eat, grow and evolve, then take on an Apex Predator.
Sharknautica reads the sharks, evolutions, narrator and sounds from your own copy of Maneater and brings them into Subnautica 2. You need both games; nothing from either game is shipped.
Eat, grow, evolve
Grow from Pup to Mega using Maneater's real shark models and skins for every age, with the narrator announcing each one.
Bite, thrash and eat Subnautica 2's creatures. Every kill bursts into a Maneater blood cloud, and its nutrients (protein, fat, minerals, mutagen) fly into your counters.
Enemy health bars pop up over anything you've bitten.
Maneater's evolutions
The full Bone, Shadow and Bio-Electric sets for teeth, head, body, fins and tail, tiers 1 to 5, with Maneater's names, prices, stat effects and set bonuses.
Maneater's 11 organ evolutions in three organ slots: Advanced Sonar, Hearty, Reinforced Cartilage, Brutal Muscles, Adrenal Gland, the four Digestions and more. Plus the Tiger Body.
A Maneater-style evolution screen you click through with the mouse.
Evolutions change your shark's look: Maneater's armour pieces appear on your shark and grow heavier as you upgrade.
Abilities
Sonar (R): a pulse that marks creatures as it reaches them. Green is easy prey, yellow a fair fight, red dangerous, magenta the Apex.
Body evolution abilities (T), charged by biting and eating:
Bone Crusher: armour, harder bites and ramming lunges.
Shadow Form: speed, poison bites that heal you, and a poison aura.
Lightning Burst: a stunning electric shockwave.
Each one wraps your shark in a 3D energy shell.
Tail whip (right mouse): your tail evolution changes it. Bone hits harder and stuns; Shadow and Bio-Electric fire a projectile that poisons or stuns.
Evade (Q/E): a dodge roll. Bone fins ram, Shadow fins leave a poison cloud, Bio-Electric fins discharge.
Sprint (hold Shift): builds up in three tiers, like Maneater's. Tap Shift to lunge.
Switch back to the diver (H) at any time and keep your progress.
And
An Apex Predator boss: a Deepwing Leviathan, with Maneater's apex narration and a big reward.
Maneater's narrator and shark sounds: swimming, tail strokes, bites, sprint rush, abilities. Their volume follows Subnautica 2's own sliders.
Maneater's HUD: health, age, growth, nutrients and the boss bar.
Your oxygen, food and water stay full while you're the shark. Single player.

Good to know
The first Play reads your Maneater install for about 15 to 30 seconds, then Subnautica 2 starts. Load or start a game and you are the shark.
The shark only appears when you start Subnautica 2 through Sharknautica. Started normally, the game is unchanged.
Subnautica 2's toolbar is hidden while you are the shark and comes back when you switch to the diver.
Melty installs UE4SS for you. Sharknautica brings a newer UE4SS core (MIT) that works with Subnautica 2's engine.
