Hey Gabs Wanted to tell you that the last few weeks I've been watching after my work. Don't take this the wrong way but I always put it on and then get all chill and comfy and take a nap haha. I wake up and look for where I dozed off and then replay. Love your channel, and I love your vibe. I hope you have a nice weekend!
Same! You have the most soothing aura, Evelien! Even when you played The Quarry 😂 But I definitely rewatch when I wake up from my sweet nap 😌😉 thanks for being your awesome self! :')
Lol, I knew it wasn’t just me. I’m lucky to have a job that involves a lot of data entry, so I’m usually listening to Gab in the background. Other players are like energy drinks, but Gab is like a raspberry lemonade hibiscus iced tea.
This game is so gorgeous - the fact that the model name of each item is included means the devs definitely took apart/owned each item and referenced them in creating this game...I honestly couldn't imagine a better person to play this game but Gab ❤️
As someone who restores retro gaming handhelds, this game is so adorable. I hope it inspires more people to learn how to tinker and repair their belongings ❤️
I don't know why or how but when the father started singing the song with the music box it made me go from fine to crying in like two seconds. That voice actor knew what he was doing
I know!! I just played this game today on my phone and I got to that chapter and once I fine the whole time, but once I heard him start singing, I immediately started crying 😭
I love that you play games like this, as well as my favorite horror games. Your vibe is just so calming and kind - your channel is a wonderful escape. At 57 I'm not your typical demographic - but I've enjoyed your channel for years Cheers!!
This is some really good voice acting from an indie dev. Also, loving the chill games and variety just as much as ones like Phasmo or Forewarned Edit, I also love how this is all about repairing your stuff instead of the modern consumer attitude companies have of making repairs impossible so we have to buy new stuff instead.
I was feeling very tense, so I watched this while drawing random doodles. This game drew me in with how pretty, calm and neat it was. Even tho I can tell the 3D aspect of it was a tad frustrating, the story, aesthetic, & puzzles were awesome! What a fun unique game :)
all these stories hit a lil close to home, so i definitely spent a few tears on this one! other than that it was a amazingly beautiful and relaxing game, and the voice acting was so good as well. i loved the music too, it was just a cozy relaxing time - just what i needed after a hectic few weeks in my life 💕
This game was wayyyy more serious than I thought it was going to be. Really made me think about my parents. I gave them a call literally the same day and we talked for like an hour straight. It was nice to catch up other than just a text.
I started tearing up right at the end of the game. That "Maria? Is that you?" and then credits roll just really hit. Like Evelien said: goosebumps. This game is so simple but so gorgeous and the creators are so amazing at writing short stories! I'm in love with it
I'm so grateful for RU-vid recommending the older gab smolders videos. I'd have never found this otherwise because I wasn't looking but this gem of a video made my day. Thank you for another comfy cozy tranquilizing video in an otherwise chaotic life. God bless you!❤❤❤
I will say, the "it sucks when people you think are friends only contact you when they need something" literally my entire life, it would be nice to have someone just ask how Im doing or want to play games with me. ahh well. But in happier news! this was a lovely game! think I might grab it for myself to play to chill out
I'm sorry things are like that. I'm sure one day though you'll meet people who appreciate you for you and enjoy just hanging out and checking on you. Well wishes to you 💜
That was so chill and wonderful. The aesthetic made me so happy even after I was getting teary at the story. Seriously, I didn't ask for these all these feelings this early in the afternoon! LOL!
"it's okay dude, some people are just little hurricanes" was a lot more touching than it was probably intended to be. damn near cried hearing that. thank you :')
The music in this game is so emotional and pretty, I got a bit teary eyed! Along with the beautiful aesthetics and the fun puzzle and your lovely commentary, this was such a comforting game and lets play. Thank you!
She is the friend that everyone wants because she's so chill and a delight to listen to! I always look forward to watching your videos! I'm on holiday right now and it's my routine to watch before bed and you betcha I'm keeping up with that routine! Also I love that light cardi! So colourful
Holy cow, I remember doing that several times with cassettes and a pencil with a rubber eraser on top. I'd position that eraser just so in one of the holes on the cassette and turn it to wind the tape back up. Worked every single time! Good memory. 👍🏻😊 Analog rocks (or rocked). Game's got great voice acting and a good storyline so far.
So happy I came across your channel. Your aura is so calming. Even during one of the chapters where the character said that they’re usually more busy (at the restaurant), and you kindly said “I’m not judging”. Definitely all the comfy and cozy vibes seeing you navigate through this game
The music box level reminded me of when I found this old broken music box. I tinkered with it for ages but couldn’t figure out how to properly fix it. I don’t think I had all the right parts considering it’s probably older then I am. I would move the cylinder thingy with my hand to listen to it. I wish I had brought it with me when I moved. This game hit a little close to home too. I went no contact with my father a year ago and now he’s divorced my stepmom and is dating an old family friend. He seems just as stuck in his ways as when I left. I wish things were solved as easily as they are in games…
I love the over arcing story so far. If I were a business owner, I would never have a flashing sign just because it could cause people with epilepsy seizures. It's irresponsible. It's just not thinking about others and you could end up getting sued all for a "look at this sign, come into my cafe/video game place/bar" gimmick. Also, I wanted to add that because Gab plays such wildly different ends of the spectrum for content is exactly the reason why I've followed her for 3 and a half years exactly this month. She's a chill person even if it's horror games and she gives off best friend vibes.
Photosensitivity epilepsy is extremely rare! If anything think of other types of seizures that no one else cares about! Such as non convulsive seizures! Also as long as it’s not rapid flashing its typically fine for people. Honestly i wish other types besides photosensitivity would be recognized. People like me don’t have as much support as they do and no one ever tries caring
@@ThatOneFur As someone with both. I love when people even acknowledge photosensitive epilepsy because in my experience they barely think about that or care. But I agree that other forms should be acknowledged as well. I think seizures as a whole needs more attention as it’s often consider a joke by society when it really shouldn’t be.
As you were playing I just had one of those moments when you realize time is finite and asks "how long do I still have to spend with my dad?" And of course, I know that's something no one has the answer for, but I bursted out crying, which was good for I had a lot to pour out from a stressful week. Gorgeous storytelling, it really made me feel things and treasure more the time we have with our loved ones
I love your calmer videos so much and they are the only things that I can fall asleep to. I have an insomnia problem and even white noise doesn’t work but somehow your videos always do so thank you. :)
I don't know if you'll understand what I mean, but I wanted to tell you what an inspiration you are to me. You play what you want, when you want, on your channel and you have the most loyal of followers. Indie games? Yep! Cosy games? Yep! Blockbuster games? Yep! I honestly love the diversity here. There's really something for everyone... it really gives me the courage and push I need to know that it's okay to do the things you want to do. You're amaIng. Thank you 💜
Ah, I could say this is the first relaxing game I ever played and got hooked to these type of genres. I really thank you for playing unpacking which it leads me towards that game as well. Love it so much.
“It’s okay, some people are just little hurricanes ❤️” - Gab Smolders as a person with ADHD that definitely feels like a little hurricane I really appreciated this quote xx
I knew I recognized this game so I assumed you had played it before. Little did I know it was actually the fact I had played it myself on my iPad years ago. Such a cozy game that as soon as I saw the art I remembered everything. Thank you, Gab, for this amazing flashback ♥️
I’ve been feeling down today but a chill video with Gab makes everything better. I didn’t even realise it had been over an hour when it was done. Thank you Gab.
7:35 brought me back. I remember having to use a pencil to rewind my VCR tapes when the film came out. I hope the VCR makes a come back so kids can experience it.
Yesterday and today were a bit difficult for me. I decided to crochet while watching your videos. I'm so glad I did. I feel so much better now. You have a calm, nice energy, Gab. I always feel better after watching the chill videos you upload. Thank you! ♡
If you've played "papers please" or watched someone play it. You might recognize the passport at 2:51. It's the passport of "United Federation" from the game. Neat easter egg!
7:22 When I was little I used to rewind my grandpa's cassette tapes with my pinky finger because his fingers were too big. He could've used the tool that came with the tape, but he liked involving me in his work.
I played this game not a long time ago and everything in it is gorgeous. The voice acting is on point (I’ve played it in Spanish) and I actually saved the song playing as the sisters theme, and the story is so realistic and you can actually see your self in the characters. 10/10💕
Work was so horrible today, so watching this seriously helped. Thank you for all your hard work Gab, in means the world :') Oh god, the dad singing to the musicbox just made me tear up ;_; my mother never had time because of work when I was little, his story hit hard
I had a a bad work day too :( I also have a poor relationship with my dad, Izzy’s story hit so close to home, my mum was very ill a long time ago and we thought she may die, im so lucky she lived past illness, she’s my rock.
@@googoogaga7986 hope you're doing better and I hope the next day will be way better! In dark times I tell myself 'this too shall pass', it doesn't always help but it gives me a little bit of peace in the moments that it does :)
@@Crane_feather thank you for the advice :) I do similar things, I feel like with bad family relationships you just need to be very slow and kind to yourself, also remember to never doubt you have good reason to be upset by things, but remember to have good faith in people too, I hope someday my dad sees my side and listens to me. All I want is to be treated as my age and to have my thoughts equally heard. And someday they will be.
1:02:39 if everyone wondering, this song is called "Gloria Please" by Gloria Tells. i've been searching this song for months after i heard it first time here, just listening to the lyrics all over again and it so goddamn hard cuz im not an english speaker but finally i found it oh God 🥲🙌
I’m newer to watching your videos but I absolutely love all the chill games! Even though you do a lot more intense games I tend not to do as well with them. But I love hearing you talk and explore games so thank you for these long relaxed videos!
ooh I'm loving this comfy games series ❤️ I just binge watched the last few uploads the other day and it was so nice and relaxing, especially the chat/stories while lawn mowing. I'll have to watch this one later but the art style looks great
I wasn’t prepared to cry today ;-; what a beautiful story. Really hit me hard, since I moved halfway across the U.S. away from my family less than a year ago
This video and the organization video showed up recommended for me recently. I love your videos now. You’re so calm and relaxed it’s helped with my anxiety and let’s me unwind.
I love how chill you are, this is the most relaxing gameplay I’ve had the pleasure of watching. Thank you for such cool content with games I’ve never heard of. ❤️
This is as relaxing as the first one I’ve watched ☺️🤍 I haven’t watched all of it but it’ll be nice to have the rest playing in the background while I do some other things
I love how casual your videos are! It’s so chill almost like your streaming because I don’t see many jump cuts and when I do they’re really nice and how you looked up what the guys name was bc one of the voices reminded you of it. I guess all I’m trying to say is that it’s really nice and homey, and I’m glad I started watching your videos!
Im so glad seeing you post! Just 2 days ago i had pulled a muscle in my stomach durring work and am slightly bedbound due to the pain it has put me in so these videos are super nice to relax to
I put on the aesthetic calming videos before bed to help me sleep. Not saying they are boring the just relax me to the point I can sleep. Thank you for making these videos.♥️
Gab, you made me cry in a good way. The way you said, "It's okay. Some people are just little hurricanes." It made me feel seen, heard, and understood. I didn't think I'd ever need to hear that at 36 years old, but thank you so friggin much.
I love this game! Remembered when I played it all at once from apple arcade. Not only is the puzzle fun per se, but the colors and soothing vibe are also amazing. I was like "No, this is so much fun, I want more!"
I played this on Apple Arcade and I LOVED it. I wish there was more but the story was just perfect as is. I'm so happy you played it! It's super cozy and heartwarming!
"i missed my window today, its already 6;30, no more coffee :(" shes so healthy and comforting i love her 😭😭 3am just finished laundry and made my bed thinkin about having a redbull
whenever Gab releases an hour long video, i would watch it as i write. Since I know im entering for a great envoy. It helps me to write better watching
