A Subnautica 2 base move leaves one teammate waving through the window, with viewers supplying the aquarium jokes.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 216,252 views a day, 6.7 times a normal first day on this channel (32,208).

Home Alone, but it's Ellis. And he's underwater. And trapped.

"Did you disassemble the base?" Ellis asks. Then comes the detail his WorstPremadeEver teammates have overlooked: "I can't get out."

In the group's Subnautica 2 Short, the base has been moved and the exit dismantled without first getting everyone out. A player swims towards the isolated underwater compartment and looks through its window. There is Ellis, waving from inside while the voice chat dissolves into laughter.

The title, "Home Alone, but it's Ellis. And he's underwater. And trapped.", borrows a familiar film premise. The description promptly admits it is actually nothing like Home Alone. There are no burglars to outwit here, just teammates who have forgotten a fairly important part of moving house.

The clip reached roughly 172,000 views in 15 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. It follows another aquatic mishap, the group's Windrose pool-party clip, but this time the stranded player has an ocean outside his window.

Viewers are treating the compartment as an aquarium with the roles reversed, imagining fish looking in at their new human exhibit. Ellis supplies his own less peaceful label: "I'm a man trapped in a box!"
