A lonely girl on her birthday with only her pet... and she envys her pets life.
A son who seeks his mother which left the family for someone she always longed to be with.
A wish for a happy life with a band of friends only to be destroyed with only one tiny wave.
A family who tries their best to pretend to be fine and hiding their true feelings.
This is kinda a sad game with calming looks and sounds
I do glad this one don't throw "surprise horror". Cute but sad
Sometimes you just want a beautiful game to hit you in the feels.
I agree to this comment. Cute art style but each story was sad to me.
i’ve only now discovered gab’s channel, and it’s so serendipitous. i never knew i’d favor gaming content without such loudness. it’s so relaxing & endearing.
Welcome! There’s so many good ones if that’s what you’re into :)
Hiiii welcome in :) 💕
welcome to the community friend! 🥰
I know - she’s chill, funny, she includes her audience, and I love to see BB!
I am excited for youu ! It is so fun and wholesome here welcomee
I love that if a game developer wants your attention, they just have to send out cute stuff and chocolate and you're in. 😂 Very relatable 🥰
It shows each game like a different story, but for some reason it seems like it's talking about the same people: the youngest who's left by himself (it's a boy; Emil is a boys name), the older child who suspects the mom of cheating, and the entire family struggling to deal with their issues without actually solving them, which eventually leads to the downfall (how the band is splashed awwy in the third game). It eventually builds in adult life, with the kid(s) learning to keep their feelings of loneliness and hopelessness to themselves (the box of miniatures being locked at the end of reminiscing).
For the interested, Hugo is a caiman lizard and a paludarium is what you get when you have a terrarium and aquarium in one.
That 3rd story with the little guys was so stinkin ADORABLE!!
As an adult who lives alone, I still randomly open the fridge, hoping for new food to have appeared. It never works :(
Jokes aside, this seems like a really cute game, I can't wait to watch the rest of it!
The result of loneliness, wishing to be somewhere else, someone else, something else, and only that fantasy giving warmth.
The absence of someone, either through sickness or going with someone else, leaving with loud noise only to end in lost, dark silence.
The imagination of what could be happening when you aren’t looking, a form of self-entertainment, dreaming, and maybe longing.
The bottling up of emotions, feelings and thoughts, pretending everything is fine when the parents are actually terrifying.
There seems to be an overarching theme of quietude and loneliness, making this a beautiful, calming, and rather melancholic game in my opinion.
And the lizard is very cute! Actually, I coincidentally bought a plush lizard just yesterday as gift for my friend. I hope she’ll like it.
We need more lonely and melancholic games in my opinion. It's a small niche genre, but it's better at hitting you in the feels than most other genres as far as I'm concerned. This gives me Fran Bow or little mis fortune vibes if I'm too be honest. That the type of game I want more of.
Also I hope your friend likes the lizard.
@@ehxjsjd4553 Thank you! :D
And I agree, these kinds of games really poke the heart. In my opinion, games like Journey, Abzu, and Gris are also like this - you don’t need language to express that feeling. They also give me the feeling that is is okay to take my time and bath in that sad yet beautiful emotion, a little bittersweet, a little lost and found.
@@kiiroshidori4296 It's always good to remind ourselves it's ok to be sad. Sometimes a games helps remind us to feel our feelings.
a nice, rainy, cozy sunday morning- cup of tea, laundry in the dryer and a nice gab video to listen to! hope you're doing well gab, thank you so much for sharing your amazing content, it's like listening/watching over the shoulder of an older sister!
I think the game definitelly shows family issues
1st one having absent parents that always work
2nd mother leaving potentially for a different man?
3rd could be about how childhood doesn't last forever or something along these lines?
and 4th definitelly hiding away all the negartive feeling to the point where they almost overflow
It was very interesting
the 2nd one could be that, it makes sense too, but i was thinking the mother might have had bad depression? (slept for 2 weeks, depression can do that) went outside after finally getting out of bed and talked to the moon (venting problems to something that can't disagree nor tell her secrets) and dissapeared (ran away, i think). her kid (the storyteller), being so young (presumably) has a good, childlike, imagination, and kept theirself busy (whilst the father was probably busy worrying etc about their mother) by going on an adventure to 'find mom' (was probably bored and worried in the house. also the dust reminded them of their mom's blanket - trying to find any clues possible). they searched for ages, their imagination guiding them, and it turned into night. they eventually found a lit house/building, and their mother inside,, except she wasn't herself. her movements were sharp (anxious? on edge?) and her skin pale (possible from just not leaving her bed for 2 weeks, or could be from illness of some sort). i interpretted this as either: she had had enough of holding herself together and was showing her true, transparent self (mentally ill?), as she was alone and 'free' (noone to judge her), and the voice could be imagination (the kid making it make sense) or maybe schizophrenia? (meaning when she was talking to the moon, she was hearing it talk back etc), and her telling her kid that the moon was her friend (?) and going away with 'them'; or possibly (less likely i think, but possible) she was away getting help (in a local place, as her kid had walked there), and on meds (why she wasn't herself, or the self the kid knew) and the voice of the 'moon' was a doctor (or someone) that she was on the phone to while she was 'talking to the moon' and was now helping her.
that's my theory anyway :]
tldr: 2nd mother dealing with depression and leaving (for whichever reason)
@emzerevell that's true! Or maybe it was both of these at once even? or a bit of a darker turn of events with mother ending up in a hospital?
@@kimgkoi I love how everyone is theorising about what all the stories mean. Goes to show how we truly are all individuals on the same wavelength ngl.
With the art in this game alone I understand why this took 4 years to make.
It was absolutely gorgeous
i literally never comment but gab’s videos helped me in such dark times and they still do to this day. she’s so comforting to listen to and she pretty much saved my life, not to be dramatic but yeah. thank you gab ❤️
She's my comfort streamer for sure, and funny enough Sean is my comfort TH-camr lol. Specifically gabs chillers art playthroughs and Sean's night in the woods series.
Hope you and anyone else who reads this is doing ok.
the second story felt like turning the pages of a childrens picturebook, so comfy and wondrous ✨
Watching this feels like being read to as a child while you’re cozy in bed. 🌛
Yeah but then you realize the stories as depressing as heck and can’t sleep lol😮
It's a nice game! Really love it ❤
I think the whole story represents someone's entire life (the one who locked the box at the end/"we").
We feel lonely because we were abandoned by our parents. We search our mom, only to find out that she cheated (maybe like a moth attract to the light/moon), but her partner (the moon) ended up leaving her, causing the mom to fall into depression.
The third story was about when we had fun with all our friends, but that didn’t last long because of time.
Then the last part seems to depict the moment we build a new family. It's seems fine at first, but when conflicts arise, nothing gets resolved properly (it’s like using the useless duct tape, the bolts keep coming loose). In the end, they suppress their emotions, hoping things will somehow work out and their relationship will remain intact, even though it’s only a matter of time before everything falls apart.
In the end, we locked all of the memories and the feelings in the box, keep them to ourselves.
eeeeeee!! I love the cozy games you play!! I hope you can find more like Strange Horticulture or A Little to the Left, those are my favorites :)
Thank you so much for the warm and comfy videos❤
I hope Hugo makes a recovery 🙏❤
The sandcastle bit reminded me a lot of Samorost 3 another charming puzzle game with great characters and atmosphere! Definitely recommend!
I adored this! The art style for each story was beautiful and so considered, the second story style was my favourite. I love that each of them felt like a folk tale and told a small sliver. I hope they do more like this because I am in awe
It was so cute to see and hear Gab"s inner child having so much fun with the beach chapter.Same here.Short game but deep.Poor little guy!Thanks for playing it!
Somehow the 2nd story makes me feel like crying. My mom could’ve had a better life but she chose us, her children and decided to stay. She once told me that we were the reason that she keeps moving forward. I want to be something for her
"Sit with the seagulls" LMAO! I used to.. When I was in Hamburg for work, the offices were quite next to the harbor, so seagulls used to sit on our window sills and watch what we do - and scream on top of their lungs, just to scare us multiple times!!! LOL
It's cool they changed art styles throughout the story, I liked the last one the most it was eerie
The mechanics in the second story with resting under a lamp shining down and focusing a flashlight beam at something made me think of "Alan Wake", only, you know, without the shadow monsters. 😁
Happy Sunday everyone! Got coffee, gabs, and a blanket. Lets goooooooo ☕️
I once had a nightmare about a water main bursting and the house I lived in at the time was completely flooded.
It was terrifying!
"Space. It seems to go on and on forever. Then you get to the end where there's a gorilla throwing barrels at you."
they found the Sims diamond plumbob in space! haha
If you can assemble a cupboard from Ikea without fighting, you've got a good relationship going on. 🤣🤣. The third story was so cuuuuute.
My mom has a church service on in the room, so naturally I have my headphones watching Gab
Seems like it has a similar art style to a little to the left.
this was such a cute game
so CUTE! great to watch
that was really fun! i love the different artstyles and the storytelling
I love you gab thanks for being the best TH-camr ever! 🫶
The line in the first bit about 'does it bite?" I immediately said "anything with a mouth can bite" because I say that all the time to people because I work with animals and get this question a lot.
I use your videos to fall asleep cause they are just so cozy and your voice is just calming.
Paludarium = Terrarium incorporating aquatic feature(s). Most often built to house freshwater turtles or amphibians.
Have to stop watching this and go play it! I'll come back later.
Hello Gab, I'm so glad you're playing this game! I discovered it while at AMAZE in Berlin earlier this year.
There were many other cool games, but I think you'd really enyoy 30 Birds : it's fun and colorful, and will be released in a few days!
I'd recommand looking up this year nominees to find some cool indie stuff 😊
i thought gabs brain music would be circus music. doo do doodly do do doo
33:06 - The moment I realize I built my ikea dresser backwards
The second story with the mom and the moon seriously gives me Song of the Sea vibes 😅
Such a beautiful game, though, truly.
Cozy adorable game✔️
Gab's relaxing vibes ✔️
Wrapped in a blanket ✔️
Perfect sleepy video ✨
I enjoyed the stories. Anytime I'm able to smile this time of year it's rare. The beach story was great.
Gab + miniatures = chill and cozy vibes😌☕️
I feel like this is one of those games you have to play a couple times to truly understand the story.
this style of animation and precisely the way the frames move reminds me of samurai jack's style, this is such a cool game visually
Part of that reminded me of Machinarium.
I love Machinarium and the other game Creaks
Space... The final frontier... These are the voyages of the USS Gab, her mission... to boldly go where no Gab has gone before :) ( side note: that pond room and music is really nice. Gives it a Zen kind of feeling , ya know? )
HUGO NOOOOO (this is adorable)
I liked the beach one; it reminds me of another game with little gnome like creatures and buildings of rock and moss. I can't remember if you or if Seán played it, but it was cute too. The last level of this game felt like hiding away family trauma.
Watching this with my own lizard on my shoulder!! :) bearded dragons are such cuddlers
Aww this was so wonderful reading stories ❤ always so unique and so deep makes you fell a child again. By far the sandcastle was my favorite ❤
Lol it looks like the lizard is floating
Gab!! 'Marquette' and 'Roki' are two indie games I've played recently that I think that you would love and I would love to see you play on the channel!!
More Luma island when releases? I’ve seen ppl play early access and it looks so cool. So many dungeons, caves and temples. Really wanna watch YOU keep playing tho 😭♥️
the little guy is SOOO CUTE! I hope he gets fixed soon!
I love cute, little guy! 💛
The art style and vibe of this game reminds me of the board/card game Dixit if you've heard of it. It's very cool. Sort of a guessing/hint giving game with beautifully illustrated cards with very unique and sometimes strange themes
Thank you! Very nice chill hangout game.
Was just checking this out on steam
01:49 Somebody found Sim points in a neighbor’s toilet 😂
that hat looks soooo fuzzy and comfy
Last 10 minutes is- How Ikea can ruin families in mere seconds
How are things going with you guys today 🐈❤️💙🤍
there was me thinking the mum who wrapped herself in a blanket and slept for the week was depressed....but nope, Gab went straight to her being dead.. :' D
No Hugos were harmed during the making of this movie.
me: the sims!
gab: space!
My name is Hugo so this caught me very off guard lmao. This game is so cool!!
27:35 my last three braincells trying to finish a task
As usual my adhd brain got different stories than the class! 🙄🤦🏻♀️🤷♀️😅
I thought the second one was about depression, and addiction. Not necessarily about cheating.
I thought mom was depressed and got out of bed to get drugs “talking to the moon” talking to a dealer. Ppl also say higher than the moon. Plus she was following a trail of dust. So when the kid found it was the drug dealer who’s manipulating her calling her away from her kid. It makes sense to me! But I’m probably wrong bc I’m literally not seeing anyone else think that. lol
Super cozy! Thanks for the video! ❤
Love this so much!! Do they sell the miniatures box? I would love one ❤
i wish i had crazy dreams like that, mine are always kinda lame 😅 like if its a good one then i dream that our snack cupboard is full of choco bars or if its a nightmare, i dream that a friend forgot to invide me to their birthday party
usually its stuff that has me questioning things for a bit after i wake up, but nothing exciting
Uhh i love the artstyle ❤
Oh no, Gab ate the sad feelings one! Rip.
The fourth one definitely resonated most with me 😬
Please play Mind Cop, Gab! I saw the trailer and thought of you immediately. Plus, I have the Legend of Goobers t-shirt and it's still one of my faves!!
Not sure if it says more about me or her that she didnt immediately see the hostility from the parents... And that it WASNT a coke that dad was drinking. Dad was mad and drunk and mom was just mad they were just "a little annoyed"
