    The fact that turtle being placed in the center of the kitchen so it has constant attention from the people in the house makes me happy.

    I was not expecting Yuri Lowenthal to be voicing the Main Character. He's been everywhere this year.

    • @fiabeanie
      @fiabeanie Год назад +49

      Definitely a pleasant surprise! I thought I was tripping but he’s definitely the voice ahaha

    • @SukiHayashiGaming

      bro i thought that was the voice!

    • @JamesRossmeissl

      I was expecting him to ask what’s happening to Harry Osborn

      I heard it and was like is that Peter Parker? Glad to know it is.

      I totally was hearing Yuri.

    Haha this is literally if Walt Disney made a dystopian world based off of Epcot haha.

    • @daniellamalcolm7328
      @daniellamalcolm7328 Год назад +14

      I was thinking this too!!!! Although, with a little bit of that Scarlett Johanson movie "The Island" as well.

    • @ShinyGG
      @ShinyGG Год назад +46

      or just Epcot if it were exactly how Walt Disney wanted...

    That's Peter Parker's voice!! From the Spiderman games!

  • @DrewTrox
    @DrewTrox Год назад +61

    4:53 I always like those early 80's analogous color schemes. That red, orange, yellow is so good. My favorite is that Miami Vice neon pink and blue!

  • @Felttipfuzzywuzzyflyguy
    @Felttipfuzzywuzzyflyguy Год назад +132

    This is so cool! It gives me big time "The Island" vibes. It was a 2005 movie with Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor that has the same story threads along the lines of the "dream vacation escape". Thank you for playing this Gab!

    • @kittehgo
      @kittehgo Год назад +2

      I was thinking Running Man, winning trips.

    • @anondecepticon
      @anondecepticon Год назад +2

      Reminded me of The Island too, albeit a bit less sinister.

    • @gargamellenoir8460
      @gargamellenoir8460 Год назад +3

      Yeah I thought of that movie immediately. Especially with the "prize" of leaving.
      The beginning and end of that movie were really good. Too bad the rest was just a soulless succession of Bayxplosions.

    • @Bridenbrad
      @Bridenbrad Год назад +1

      i literally thought the same thing when the subject of the dream vacation came up in game. i thought "man this kinda reminds me of that movie The Island" lol.

    • @stefsn638
      @stefsn638 Год назад

      thats what I thought too!

  • @eternall06
    @eternall06 Год назад +96

    the fact that im more worried about the turtle than the actual character says a lot about me

  • @MrDevintcoleman
    @MrDevintcoleman Год назад +39

    I was thinking Truman Show too, when you said it, and then seconds later they say Gus is going to Fiji! Definitely feels like a nod to the movie!

    So excited for you to continue this series! The colors and style are super cute & the writing and voice acting are so nice

  • @DrewTrox

    This game is dripping with style. Great job, Art Team!

  • @lunalena9377
    @lunalena9377 Год назад +38

    This is so cool - I kind of wonder if the style was influenced a bit by Meet the Robinsons! Such a fun movie

  • @MandaRenegade
    @MandaRenegade Год назад +2

    LMAOOOOO the references are ABUNDANT! I tried to find them all for everyone 😂
    - Arcadia itself = totally a play on EPCOT. Even has a lot of the similar "worlds"
    - Steve Just = Steve Jobs (Apple)
    - DJ Zoom = could easily be DJ Khalid, but also DJ Zhu (American musician)
    - Tiffany Amber Gaines = Tiffany Amber Thiessen (Saved by the Bell)
    - Walton last name = Walton family owns the monopoly of Walmart, also mix with Walt as in Disney (Elijah has Disney vibes)
    - speaking of Elijah, his little 2D friend is a play on Figment from Journey Into Your Imagination
    - "Bargain Beastie Boys" is a reference to the Sabotage music video
    I'll find more in the next video! ❤

  • @focornali4349
    @focornali4349 Год назад +13

    This art style reminds me of Agent A, which is a fun little James Bond-like mystery game

  • @mrorion4794
    @mrorion4794 Год назад +40

    The vibes this game gives off feels like a mix between the lego movie and the Truman show

  • @DrewTrox
    @DrewTrox Год назад +34

    18:48 That transition is so cool! I love the audio shift.

  • @mindtherebels
    @mindtherebels Год назад +20

    This game is SO good, extremely happy to hear you’ll continue playing it too!!

  • @miamouse
    @miamouse Год назад +17

    Thanks for playing this. It's fun to watch, but I don't think I would like to play it myself. Just not my cup of tea for the game play style. Still very enjoyable! I bet his "daring escape" is part of the show too. Maybe gus isn't dead and they just did that to get him moving.

  • @WWonderLust
    @WWonderLust Год назад +68

    Grateful that gab has subtitles because when she talks through what theyre saying i literally cant make out what shes saying at all

    • @Bridenbrad
      @Bridenbrad Год назад +12

      im sure she doesnt mean to do it. shes gotta balance her game commentary with the in game commentary.

  • @Sourdoughxblush

    The voice acting is perfection. The art style is so warm and lovely. The tropes, quotes and parallels are exquisite. Needless to say I'm obsessed

  • @anomalythewriter
    @anomalythewriter Год назад +1

    Gab, you have to recommend this to Jack! The stylization of the movement is a lot like inside, and I think that’s one of his favorite games.

    @simonadances3942 Год назад +70

    I've had this game in my wishlist for months and when I found out today that it came out I was so sad bc I couldn't play it. But then I thought "This game is really a Gab kind of game, I wonder if she'll play it". I guess I'm psychic now?

  • @zm138

  • @agcornia2012
    @agcornia2012 Год назад +2

    I knew Trevor's voice was familiar! It's Yuri Lowenthal (had to look up his name of course) but its the same guy who voices Peter Parker in the 2023 Spiderman 2 game!

  • @Wayazaexa42
    @Wayazaexa42 Год назад +6

    10:15 Hah! I love that the "moron new manager" Romano looks just like the crappy moron of a manager Bill from Office Space! XD The hair, the glasses, the blue shirt, the red suspenders, the brown pants, the yellow and brown tie... Heck, even how he stands around Trevor's cubicle!
    Definitely a nice tribute! 😄

  • @2LaneTraveler
    @2LaneTraveler Год назад +2

    I get "Truman Show" and "Running Man" vibes from this. Pretty cool, looking forward to more.

  • @akmaledanish17
    @akmaledanish17 28 дней назад +1

    When I first heard Trevor's voice, I almost immediately said, "Wait a minute, that guy voice sounds a lot like Spiderman." Then when I googled it and find out it's Yuri Lowenthal voice. I knew I'm not wrong when I said that voice sounds familiar 😂

  • @SafariLari1
    @SafariLari1 Год назад +3

    I love the voice acting, but also i cannot hear anything but Spider Man talking because its Yuri Lowenthal doing the main voice xD

    Yay let's go! With Yuri's voice it's even cooler. I might just buy a game for the story and his VA skills

  • @mirandag.3277
    @mirandag.3277 Год назад +2

    OMG!!!!!! trevor's voice didnt sound familar until it started to go bad with the voice talking to him and him panicking and i was like "huh...he kinda sounds like spider-man" AND LO AND BEHOLD I GOOGLE IT AND YURI LOWENTHAL IS THE VOICE ACTOR!!! HOW AWESOME! and i also think the lady who you play as that was talking to trevor(havent finished the game lol) was the voice of delilah in firewatch!! she also sounds familiar

    @Aaaaaaaalonika Год назад +1

    It’s kinda amazing that people can just go stay in the land of their favorite show and meet their favorite characters and it’s not fake like meeting a princess at disney because it’s the real world they live in.

  • @JoyceW-Art

    Wow- loved it! What a cool concept! Reminds me of "The Island"

  • @gpcheng87
    @gpcheng87 Год назад +2

    totally agree with the other comments here about how parts of this game are referencing movies (obviously "The Truman Show", "winning" island getaways from "The Island", the first guy giving off Walt Disney vibes, the Walton family in this game might be a reference to Walt D. but also maybe the Walton family that founded/owns Walmart...etc). Just wanted to add to the list that I think new manager at 10:15 is 100% giving me Bill Lumbergh from "Office Space" vibes, down to the glasses, suspenders and even the yellow tie. 😅

    I always wanted a mail tube when I grew up. This reminds me of this old ride at Disney Epcot in Florida. It was made by an airplane company like delta maybe and it showed you cool scenic things from the future, with cheesy mannequins. There was like an underwater bubble with people living in it 😊

  • @elijahfoltz3755
    @elijahfoltz3755 Год назад

    Only one episode in and I'm already getting vibes of the book series I'm currently reading. See, I just finished Wool, the first part of Hugh Howey's Silo series, and in the silo, the higher-ups don't like when you try to talk about what happened or what's outside the silo. When they catch you, you're fitted into a custom-made cleaning suit and sent outside the silo to clean the sensors that provide an image of the bleak wasteland outside to the screens in the silo's topmost floor. But once you're out there, you only have just enough time to clean the sensors before you run out of oxygen and the toxins in the environment break down your suit, slowly killing you. Being selected for the Edge Travel Grant sounds disturbingly like being sent out to clean, and I LOVE it.
    (also, go read the Silo series if you haven't; I've only read Wool so far, but it's great. I'd watch the TV show that premiered earlier this year, but I don't have Apple TV+.)

    @amberpye4752 Год назад +7

    A friend of mine told me spider plants were unkillable and low light. It tried dying. Low light for people is WAY too low for even low light plants. I bought it a light. Then I had space for more plants. Then I ran out of space and got another light... And another. I'm now growing 11 plants, some of which are called "dramatic" by plant people 😂 100% it was a watering or light issue. Most plants are really happy drying up between waterings. They're dying to sit under the average aquarium light if they can't be in a window, though!

    • @Palitato
      @Palitato Год назад

      SOOO many people over water their plants! It doesn't rain every day (unless you're in Florida...) plants need time to let their roots dry a little bit so they don't get rot.

    like the fact that arcadia and the presentation is built on walt disney's "world of tomorrow". pretty much before it turned into disney world park after his death, the site was going to be for experimental innovations of a future city. With auto moving sidewalks etc etc.

    This was so much fun to watch! I myself have never watched The Truman Show and all of the other references of movies Gab made in the vid but now I am tempted to watch!
    Gonna put them all down in a list. I can't wait to see you play this game again! It was such a joy to watch the different perspectives and smooth operation of the two characters. I also loved the 2d-ness(?). Always loved these types of games where the movement is always forward. Thanks for another enjoyable playthrough, Gab!

    I need more, pls more Gab, this is so exciting, I have so many questions like if he is inside a globed Arcadia city and she is watching him from the outside, how is he going to leave the city? What is her motive to helping him? Like does she know him? And the shady family that created the city for money, do they have more planned for the people inside Arcadia? How did they keep citizens inside the city?
