i love a game where every character is compelled to record their thoughts and feelings with pen and paper, and immediately discard those notes wherever they happened to be standing at that moment
wait a second...are you saying you DONT get the random urge in public to whip out a pen and paper and record your thoughts in that moment, only to dump it on the ground for the next person behind you to see? i thought everyone did that 🧐
There is a house in Upstate NY near Lake George. It is built above a cave system. The man who used to own it made a door over the entrance and built his house around it. In thw summertime, he would open up that door, and all the cold air from the cave system would cool the entire home. Very cool. The creator of this game did a great job. 👍🏼
@@AlexisHoffmannMediaEd definitely Howe caverns I just looked it up. Howe Caverns is named after farmer Lester Howe, who discovered the cave on May 22, 1842, after noticing that his cows frequently gathered near bushes at the bottom of a hill on hot summer days. Behind the bushes, Howe found a strong, cool breeze emanating from a hole in the Earth. Howe proceeded to dig out and explore the cave with his friend and neighbor, Henry Wetsel, on whose land the cave entrance was located. The cave is a constant temperature of 52 °F (11 °C), irrespective of the outside weather.[2] Howe opened the cave to eight-hour public tours in 1843, and, as business grew, a hotel was built over the entrance. When Howe encountered financial difficulties, he sold off parts of his property until a limestone quarry purchased the remainder. The quarry's purchase included the hillside, which encompassed the cave's natural entrance.
I do like how classic looking these spirits are. Like the spectral whispy type as opposed to the generic undead corpse lady you see rehashed in most modern indie horror games. Quite refreshing tbh
It seemed they borrowed many things from Spielbergs Poltergeist movie, but the story were unique, and i love how you never really knew if the spirits could be trusted until the last ten seconds of the game.
Remind me if i ever go to a haunted house to bring several note books and lots of pens so i can make sure to leave journal scraps everywhere for future readers
Mentioning _and_ quoting In The Mouth Of Madness within the first minute of the video = absolute win :) Edit: (SPOILERS AHEAD IF ANYONE HASN'T WATCHED THE WHOLE THING YET) Having just finished watching the whole thing, that game was _such_ a love letter to the movie Poltergeist, from the ghost effects, the skull (particularly pressing through the walls), the portal effects, even right down to the voice of the ghost that helps towards the end sounding almost identical to the exorcist in the movie. Honestly, I could very easily (and happily) headcanon this game into the Poltergeist universe.
There were times when all I could hear was Tangina whispering about light, and the bad spirit using Carol Anne to distract the other spirits from the light. The ghosts in this game also look a lot like the bright lights that come down the stairs in the movie.
One of those voices (42:45) sounds *exactly* like Zelda Rubinstein, best known as Tangina Barrons from the _Poltergeist Franchise,_ as well as Host of _Scariest Places on Earth (TV documentary series)._ But she died in 2010 and I didn’t see her credited as a voice actress in any video games. The time stamp I used isn’t the first to feature her, by the way. It’s just the one I chose. 💚🤗🤗💚
@@JustKelso1993 I don’t know anything about Harry Potter. But if that’s who/ what this is supposed to be then it was definitely inspired by Zelda’s voice, since she long-predated the books or films.
@@Lesley_RedRhody Nope the actress just sounds like that, I know who you are talking about though and they do sound extremely similar, they both have that type of voice.
That skeleton keeps on doing things that make me laugh. It shoved the character out of the room like, "this is my room! get out!" and then later on it grabbed a chair and tossed it, lol.
11:32 Concur, I am a sound designer, and I am really digging the sound design in the game. 12:25 "Zu-u-u-u-ll..." 34:33 "They're here..." (I'm just a fountain of old movie references tonight.) By about the 1 hour mark, I'm thinking this is like a cross between Fatal Frame and Myst. Pretty cool though.
This game kinda reminds me of the book Episode Thirteen with the whole different dimensions thing. I read that book after hearing Gabs talk about it, and I loved it!
It's funny that Gab mentions that the font gives her old, classic horror vibes because the font and the teal color gives me Eternal Darkness vibes! God, I need to play it again for the millionth time.
I have been following your channel for a while now and I want to tell you how much I appreciate the subtlety of your subscription reminder thingy. The little click is enough to get the attention of new viewers but it is so unobtrusive that it does not disturb the video… Very well made!! Love to see it! Also: Bought the loops you recommended and am very happy with them! Thank you!!! 💜
01:20 Cozy Marshmallows? Horror? Of course! Reminds me of days when I used to roast marshmallows over the campfire while listening/telling ghost & other horror stories.
Maybe I’m wierd, but I love how cheerful Gab seems in this video. Makes me feel better watching her knowing for certain she’s enjoying herself. Towards the end though I could tell on her face that she was getting a bit tired of the constant stock noises lol. Love ya, Gab. Hope you and Sean are enjoying life.
Holy cow that was SO GOOD. The visuals were amazing and I loved the lore! It had such a cool lovecraftian vibe and it's so rare to get a lovecraftian game with a happy ending. I'm totally down for this one, it was so creative and felt fresh and cool.
The shack and lightning strike reminded me of a story from my 3rd grade teacher Mrs.Isman. She mentioned that one of her relatives way back in the day died due to lightning. He was with his brother in the barn and leaned against a metal pipe that ran from the ceiling into the floor. The barn was struck by lightning and ran through the pipe into the ground, but because her relative was leaning against the pole he was electrocuted to death. She told us this during our weather unit. Surprisingly, it didn’t traumatize me as much as it should have. 😂
After your stream, I replenish my snacks, put the kids somewhat rapidly to bed, and settling in myself for this nice horror gameplay vid of yours. 🤩 Thanks Gab, for your huge part of this delightful relaxing day. 😄👍🥂🎉❤️ lots of love for Beebs, Sean and yourself!
omg, i used to have a recurring nightmare (from ages 8 to 16) about a skull with this greenish smoke around it, chasing me down for hours... it was waaay too similar to the skull in the game and i got a little paranoid for a good minute 😅
Really enjoyed this gameplay, as usual ❤ All I could think of is, "Don't go into the light, Caroline!" The voice actor of the spirits sometimes reminds me of the lady from poltergeist 😂
Gab you should really play Heilwald Loophole one day. It has such a fantastic ps1 feeling to it (very reminiscent of SH1) and it's very creepy and weird. It has a charming vibe though, I hope you'll take a look at it. John also played it if I'm not mistaken :)
The visuals are so cool! That was one scary Christmas tree ☠️🎄☠️ the beginning and the subtle suspense it built was my fave. I would love to see a game with just that vibe 😃
The title reminds me of 80's horror movie or TV show title before game starts and lightning and thunder gives that creepy vibes, Keep up awesome and amazing job Gab 👍
hi gab !!! i came across this game called chants of sennar and i think you’d enjoy it !! basically its making your way through a tower by translating a foreign language + glyphs ! im playing it on switch and its challenging my brain a lot lol
Said this uploaded a whole minute ago when I first saw it! I was view number 5! I don't think I've caught a video this early before. Spooky Gabs to start the day!
I had one of those propeller hats as a kid. I've been meaning to get the Nancy Drew games because I've enjoyed watching you play them. I definitely should get this game. Very creepy.

LOLLL I always think about that!
Oh, and they make sure to rip off the lower corner, of course. That's a normal thing to do.
😂😂

I'm from this area, but I've never heard about this! That's so interesting? Do you know if it's attached to Howe Caverns? Or Cooper Cave?
@@AlexisHoffmannMediaEd I believe Howe Caverns

The sound design is so good I keep having to pause because I think it's all coming from somewhere in my own house lmao
Same!! I've paused multiple times
15:19 Finally, a game gives us a relatable reason why we find notes from one person everywhere.
"You're making me climb this twice!?" made me lol 🤣
The audio design for this game is crazy good!! It sounds like the boards are creaking behind me in my room!
Remind me if i ever go to a haunted house to bring several note books and lots of pens so i can make sure to leave journal scraps everywhere for future readers
LOL that skeleton slammed the door like "Stay out of my room!" 🤣

The cheesiness reminded me so much of "Poltergeist".
I don't think I've seen Gabs this spooked by sound in a horror in a while, Gabs had some really expressive spooked side-eyes 👀
Agreed
11:32 Concur, I am a sound designer, and I am really digging the sound design in the game. 12:25 "Zu-u-u-u-ll..." 34:33 "They're here..." (I'm just a fountain of old movie references tonight.)

This isn't a house, it's a mansion. It's so big! Oh, and I really like that the spirits are very vaguely shaped; it's a nice touch.
This game kinda reminds me of the book Episode Thirteen with the whole different dimensions thing. I read that book after hearing Gabs talk about it, and I loved it!
An hour long video of a spooky game and a crochet project on a rainy day, what could be better 😊
Agreeeed!! Currently working on a baby blanket for a friends baby shower lol
Totally, just spooks and my chonky cat fairy amigurumi
Hello hello fellow crocheters 🥰🧶🪡
Are knitters welcome in this lil craft corner? haha

This is straight up 90’s/2000’s horror!!!! Love it!!!!! ❤
A Horror game and the dev name is cozy marshmallow??? This is gonna be GOOD
It's raining outside, so it's time for a Gabs horror video, a cup of coffee, dimmed lights, and a nice blanket :>
being able to jump in a game definitely makes it more enjoyable
This game was so atmospheric. Enjoyed it!
was waiting for sean to quietly open the door and yell BOO and just scare the crap out of gab
Ooohh yess. Spooky gabs early in the morning. Let me get my coffee!!!
Gab and an indie horror, the perfect thing to relax to
It's a good time to be working from home and watching another gameplay from Gab 😋
Who knew font choices would make such an impact?
01:20 Cozy Marshmallows? Horror? Of course! Reminds me of days when I used to roast marshmallows over the campfire while listening/telling ghost & other horror stories.

That ethereal realm around 12:30 is giving me major "eyes in the dark, one moon circles" vibes.

Love the Mouth of Madness shout out in the beginning.
I had a lovely time watching you playing this cool indie horror game, thanks for playing!

Gab mentioning my favorite horror movie "In the Mouth of Madness" and "Do you read Sutter Cane" has won my eternal devotion.

10:35 that is an adorable mug! I need that for my daughter!!!
“Do you read Sutter Cane?”
Deep cut. Nice. :)
The way the game is animated and how the camera sways makes me think of roller coaster simulators. Its so cool to watch!
Ths whole thing with the floating lights and whispery voice gave me heavy Poltergeist vibes.
omg, i used to have a recurring nightmare (from ages 8 to 16) about a skull with this greenish smoke around it, chasing me down for hours... it was waaay too similar to the skull in the game and i got a little paranoid for a good minute 😅
Hearing running footsteps getting louder when I'm alone has to be one of my biggest fears.
54:35 you can move this boulder but not the chair blocking a door in the house
The ambience and noises make this game so spoopy in itself Dude! thanks for another awesome video ^^
This gives me Watcher in the Woods vibes. Loved your content as always Gab!
Oh my gosh that was my FAVORITE scary movie when I was younger!
So much fun to follow Gab through this spooky game! Thank you Gab!
Really enjoyed this gameplay, as usual ❤ All I could think of is, "Don't go into the light, Caroline!" The voice actor of the spirits sometimes reminds me of the lady from poltergeist 😂
i love the music it sounds like music from trailers to set an atmosphere when you watch it
yayyy a gab horror video to watch while making & eating dinner :)
I love how your videos are edited, the echo effect always makes me laugh :)
Ooooo! Another awesome Gab video!
When you go “hellooooo?” It reminds me of luigi's haunted mansion when he does it 😅 great gameplay as always ❤
Gab you should really play Heilwald Loophole one day. It has such a fantastic ps1 feeling to it (very reminiscent of SH1) and it's very creepy and weird. It has a charming vibe though, I hope you'll take a look at it. John also played it if I'm not mistaken :)
So many Poltergeist vibes from this, right down to Tangina guiding us lol 🥰
It’s 11 pm and your video made my day
Title screen definitely gives 80s-early 90s horror movie title card. I immediately thought of The Prophecy... font's even similar 😊
Yessss...another fun playthrough with you
The visuals are so cool! That was one scary Christmas tree ☠️🎄☠️ the beginning and the subtle suspense it built was my fave. I would love to see a game with just that vibe 😃
This IS a good-looking game! Haven't seen it played anywhere else. Thanks, Gab!
Adoring this game
This is probably the earliest I've ever been. I'm so excited to watch!
the "Use the mouse..." at the beginning got me confused too 🥴. ugh thank you for the new horror playthrough, Gab!
Great-looking game! Well-written with spooky and dreadful environments! Thanks, Gab!
The title reminds me of 80's horror movie or TV show title before game starts and lightning and thunder gives that creepy vibes, Keep up awesome and amazing job Gab 👍
19:54 i swear this sound reminds me exactly of the beginning from the song cynical - twocolors directed by Specter Berlin! 👀😈
The title is giving me major Law and Order: Special Victim's Unit vibes 😅
Your startled "Bruh"'s keep making me chuckle 😂
It was so good!! An hour of spooky time with Gab!! Yes please!! Off to find my next adventure!! ❤❤
just the thing to make me feel better! I'm pretty sure I have Covid or Flu, missed classes today and all that. Thank you Gab!
Overally the athmosphere was fantastic so it was very entertaining to watch.
Hi Gabs! I adore you! Thank you so much for being you❤
It was giving Serpent and the Rainbow vibes
hi gab !!! i came across this game called chants of sennar and i think you’d enjoy it !! basically its making your way through a tower by translating a foreign language + glyphs ! im playing it on switch and its challenging my brain a lot lol
Really enjoyed this game play you played it kept me so into the game story and it had me wanting more thank you for the video
Keep up the great work Gab, this game is pretty cool I'm still watching it.❤
12:39 Whatever it is sounds like my cat, Buffy the Vamp Slayer, purring in her sleep!
I'm just admiring the house and wondering how I would decorate it if it were mine. :3
The writing on the title screen reminds me of the oooold Richard Laymon books
I like this game, the scares were so real...the story and concept is cool...All in all, it's different and well done...Thank you Gab 😄
Yeessss I love it when you play horror/thriller games 😫🙌🏽
This game was amazing, thank you for playing it❤️
The spirit orbs reminded me of the fairy from the movie Legends she turns into a similar orb of light.
Rat sounds at the beginning had my cat on high alert! 😂 Good boy!
This game is exactly what "ghost hunting" in real life is like it's hyucking terrifying
29:37 Bro gave us a smooch
I'd absolutely buy a tea or coffee named "Sip of Courage"! Perfect beverage for some "cosy" horror 😉
Watching this and was like “that rain sound effect sounds really good!” lol it was raining outside and hitting my window 💀
The whole like... storyline setup kinda gives me The Room vibes.
Watching this and having a taco right now. Life is pretty sweet.
the attic reminded me of Madison, i remember you saying you wanted to add stringlights to make it more cozy hehe 🥰
The Rats by Herbert is honestly one of my absolute favourite horror books! Takes itself just seriously enough but not too seriously 😂
Said this uploaded a whole minute ago when I first saw it! I was view number 5! I don't think I've caught a video this early before. Spooky Gabs to start the day!
Love the sound design but it's basically just a walking sim. Linear, no puzzles, you just go with the flow, too much reading needed as well
I had one of those propeller hats as a kid. I've been meaning to get the Nancy Drew games because I've enjoyed watching you play them. I definitely should get this game. Very creepy.
32:57 Let's start a flock of seagulls cover band called Stack of Ladders
gab is feeding us! ive been watching your video everyday this week 😻💗
Hi-ding in the co-mments. Oooooohhh i am hi-ding in the coooo-mments ~Coward's song
Yay! Gab video!! ❤ Oh hey Gab if you get the chance you should check out the demo for Endless Blue it feels like it's right up ur alley~❤
