It wasn't just regular players breaking down over Deep Sea Trek — even celebrity gamers were venting their frustration online.
On her social media account, Mia Young posted a screenshot of the exact moment the Fireworks spaceship was obliterated by the alien artillery. Her caption read:
"Old Thief, do you even have a heart?!!"
The string of exclamation marks said it all — Mia Young was devastated.
The comment section lit up with reactions:
"Mia, don't be too upset! You'll soon realize this heartbreak is just the beginning... The pain train hasn't even left the station yet!"
"Don't worry, Mia! Once you get used to the abuse, you'll learn to love it. Haha!"
"I was wondering why you disappeared for a while... turns out you've been grinding Deep Sea Trek like the rest of us!"
It wasn't just Mia Young. Other celebrity gamers were also venting about Deep Sea Trek on social media.
Jay King: "Man, I went numb watching the Fireworks explode. That festive explosion just made me feel... empty. Some 'healing game' this turned out to be."
Evan Lee: "I was eating hotpot and vibing when the Fireworks went BOOM! Old Thief, you owe me an explanation!"
The replies under Evan's post were hilarious:
"Evan, you better chill before you get a cutscene where your hotpot gets bombed too!"
"The Old Thief doesn't explain. He inflicts! He's probably cackling right now!"
"I swear, when that ship exploded, I almost smashed my controller!"
"Wanna beat up the Old Thief? Get in line!"
"I saw this part on Sister Zoe's stream... Trust me, there's more pain to come. Brace yourself!"
Despite the heartbreak, players couldn't deny the game's brilliance.
"Yeah, the story's brutal, but those sick weapons and vehicles later on? Pure gamer bliss!"
"I swear, this game's like emotional boot camp — pain and pleasure all rolled into one!"
"We're not just playing the Old Thief's game... we're becoming him! Manipulative, sadistic, and still loving it!"
For a while, the word "Fireworks" dominated social media trends. Celebrities, casual gamers, and even non-gamers were all talking about it.
Even those who didn't normally play games were starting to wonder, "Wait... do I need to try this game just to stay relevant?"
---
Among all these reactions, one celebrity's account stood out — Nick Taylor.
Nick was a die-hard New World fan and had been consistently posting his game progress. In his most recent post, he shared a screenshot of the alien building on the island, captioned:
"Finally made it to the island... This place is insane! Can't wait to see what's next!"
Nick had spent so much time trying to save the woman from Escape Pod 2 that his progress lagged behind other players. While most players were mourning the Fireworks explosion, Nick was still excitedly exploring the island.
Naturally, the comments section was filled with ominous warnings:
"Nick... you have no idea what's coming, man. Buckle up!"
"No spoilers, but… yeah. You're in for a moment."
"That Fireworks scene? Yeah... it's gonna wreck you."
"Nick's here hyped for the plot while the rest of us are crying in the corner."
Nick scratched his head, puzzled.
Why are they all acting like I'm walking into a trap?
For a moment, he was tempted to ask for spoilers — but no. He was determined to experience the twists firsthand.
"No way it's worse than that whole Escape Pod 2 tragedy... right?"

Meanwhile, over at the Channing Pool Training Center, the national swimming team was back in action after their break.
In the women's lounge, Coach Wendy Marshall was briefing her athletes.
"Alright, ladies! Vacation's over, and the Asian Games are only four months away. It's time to focus. Got it?"
"Yes, Coach!" the swimmers answered in unison.
"Good. Now hit the lockers and get changed. Meet me at the pool," Wendy instructed.
"Uh... Coach, wait!" Hannah Ford suddenly called out.
"What is it?" Wendy frowned.
"Well... over the break, I discovered a new training method I think we should try," Hannah said, her eyes flickering with excitement.
"Oh?" Wendy asked curiously.
So, Hannah started explaining the game Deep Sea Trek.
She had even posted on social media asking netizens for their thoughts — and the overwhelming response had been positive.
"You're saying... you want to use a VR game to train swimming?" Wendy asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes!" Hannah nodded firmly.
The other swimmers exchanged puzzled looks. They had all heard of Deep Sea Trek, but using it as a training tool? Sounded ridiculous.
Only one teammate, Sophie Lane, spoke up in support:
"Hannah's right! I played Deep Sea Trek during my break too, and honestly... it's incredible for swimming practice."
Seeing the two Olympic medalists supporting this bizarre idea put Wendy in a tough spot. She sighed and said, "Alright... but our pool doesn't have a VR setup."
"That's okay!" Hannah grinned. "I'm sure we can figure something out!"
Wendy chuckled dryly. "Alright, I'll ask the pool administrator... but no promises!"
---
Wendy made the call.
"Hey, Zack. Do we have a VR setup here?"
"Oh yeah!" Zack replied enthusiastically. "We just installed one recently!"
Wendy blinked in disbelief. "...Seriously?"
Even Hannah and Sophie were shocked.
"Actually," Zack added with a laugh, "we only have one game — Deep Sea Trek."
Wendy couldn't believe it. This game's haunting me everywhere I go...
---
Soon, Wendy and her team gathered at the VR training area, where Zack was waiting.
"Why on earth does a pool have a VR station?" Wendy asked, still baffled.
"Well," Zack explained, "a bunch of visitors kept asking for it. Turns out, folks have been using Deep Sea Trek to practice swimming. It's crazy — I've seen total beginners come in, and after playing the game, they're swimming like pros!"
"That's absurd…" Wendy muttered.
"I'm telling you, it's legit," Zack said with a grin. "Our swimming instructors are practically out of a job now!"
Even Wendy's swimmers couldn't believe it.
"Coach Wendy, trust me — just try it!" Hannah insisted.
With no other excuse left, Wendy gave in.
"Alright... I'll give it a shot," she sighed.
Moments later, Wendy donned the VR headset and stepped onto the platform.
For a woman in her 40s, unfamiliar with video games, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Alright... here goes nothing," she muttered.
Little did Wendy know... her swimming skills were about to be tested in a way she never expected.
