So, I am drafting game ideas and I thought about creating a underwater survival game much like Subnautica but with a different plot, models, and storyline. How would I make it original so that I am not just stealing Subnautica’s concept?

Make it a horror game or something.

Combine two things that haven’t been combined before. It’s that simple. There’s no guarantee it will actually be good, but it will be original.

Thanks for the idea. Do you have an example of what I could mix it with? Would changing the entire plot, map, and character storyline make the game original?
Put some thought into what makes Subnautica so engaging and just take from that list. Ideally you won’t need to incorporate every aspect of the game into yours, since there are definitely some stylistic choices Unknown Worlds Entertainment made that don’t necessarily affect the player’s enjoyment of the game.
Take what you love about the game, then fill in the gaps with your own creativity. Good luck!
