@@Vampyric-Queen-Kit Oh god...I love that mental image. It's hilarious cause I picture him hunched and crouched like Gollum, including the full on Gollum hiss after she sprays him.
I fully agree with the open casket thing-- I understand why people would have it, but it's very disturbing to see a deceased loved one. It doesn't look real, almost like a wax figure.
I’ve attended two open casket funerals in my life, my father’s and then my grandfather’s. After the second I vowed I would never attend another. I don’t want that grim waxwork to be the last visual memory I have of them. Better to remember them alive.
@@anondecepticon Yeah, after my grandma's funeral... never again. I hate that that is the last time I saw her, it just looks off and I'd rather remember her as she was.
I don't like the idea of open casket/coffin funerals. I live in Sweden and that is not how it's done here. Instead there is a final viewing for the closest family and relatives before the funeral. I feel better about that because it's too intimate to let just anyone go and have a look in my opinion. I was nervous when I was about to see my brother for the last time but it turned out to be just what I needed. I spent 2 hours with him that day and took a few photos because I had to see it many times before I could accept that he was actually gone.
i love the way that marianne interacts with sadness. i mean i guess shes used to ghosts by now but its still nice that she actually treats her like a little girl
I wanted that too, but I found out it's quite expensive to be cremated and turned into a tree =/ So I notified the family that I want 1. Donate whatever works and then cremate the rest + throw the ashes in the sea or 2. Find the most inexpensive way to get rid of the body 😂
I know someone who mixed her mother’s ashes into a wildflower seed mix and scattered them in a field. That’s illegal in the U.S., but I always thought it sounded nice. (She died after a prolonged battle with cancer and the family couldn’t afford a funeral on top of years of medical bills.)
It does more damage to the Earth to get cremated then planting a tree will give, especially at this rate. Wanna give to the Earth, get a natural burial, don't get embalmed and get a coffin made of a decomposable product. Or if you live in the US in Washington state you can get human composted lol I'm opting for that
Bruhhh is that Sean screaming his ass off 2:14 💀. I even thought Gab would acknowledge it or make a witty remark about it, but nah, she’s just like, “Alright, let's go :).”- she must be hella used to it 😂. I’m so fucking dead lmao.

Though death is a tough subject to talk about, there's a great channel called Ask a Mortician (Caitlin Doughty) that is extremely humorous and informative. There are so many options for burial (or whatever you choose) and the main focus on the channel is to not only talk about what you want but to avoid the pressure of funeral homes to sell you the most expensive funeral. Not to have your family go into debt because they've been guilted into spending more than they can afford and to know your countries and states laws so you know what really is the law or not. Caitlin has also written a couple of very humorous and informative books. Since I'm closer to death than probably most of the rest of you😅, I found this channel to help me get over the fear of death. Now to just convince the rest of my family!😁
this, love her 100% i love her vibe like kinda gives off 80s goth vibes but has addams family humour, while being sensitive and informative. also Bentham's head :3 (sorry i love that outro and the video of him was intriguing)
I love her content! She has definitely shaped my views on death positively. I bought her book as well. She treats death with such dignity and candidness.
Wow, when she saw jack and he didn't know he was dead, I cried so hard for the first time in a long time. Everything was there, the big tears, loud weeping, boogers. I can't not describe how sad that was to me
1:16:19 - Pipofezine is an antidepressant, and Buspirone is used to treat general anxiety. Marianne saying she knows the drugs "all too well" might suggest she has taken them in the past so she also has/had depression and anxiety ~ Also, yay Gab and 3rd person horror.. always a pleasure to watch :D
Gab, I have always been so impressed with your mastery of not only 2 but 3 languages! You speak English better than a lot of people! Dont even worry about the petty complaints.
Not even petty but ignorant. The way a proper noun for a person is pronounced can only be validated by the person itself. So in the case of peripheral characters in a game, movie, book et al whose names are only appearing in written form it is just a best effort exercise.
@@forklessI know it’s late but to be fair if there is voice acting in a game there’s definitely generally a canon way to pronounce the name that is preferred by the creators. That being said, it’s obviously not cool to critique and hassle someone for simply having an accent
As a Polish person, I was completely not aware of this game! It's so amazing seeing our country represented in a game like this! There have been Polish games in the past, plnety of them quite great, but none so explicitly about Poland, this is great! Also, "Studnie przodków" (the forefathers' wells) is such a wonderful, fun book, I love Joanna Chmielewska (as do many Polish readers), it's so cool to find it in the game, I feel so weirdly touched Goobers trying to read Polish names cracks me up, but no shade, they're hard to get right if you don't know the rules, you're doing great,vhaha
I just now noticed that the spirit world design really looks like Polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski´s art. It´s so uncanny, it can´t be coincidence. Anyone know anything about that? EDIT: I just checked it, and the game is in fact inspired by his art! I really recommend checking it out, there´s an instagram account dedicated to his work. One of my favorite artists!
I second that, I picked up an art book of his work just because of the cover art! I'll get around to playing this someday, mentally I don't think I could handle it right now.
Let me guess: "inspired by" but has nothing to do with him, nor was his estate or relatives contacted about any of it. Classic Bloober Team, hacks and thieves.
@@SapphireDragon357 He's a polish artist, they're a polish studio, it's an homage to an artist they like. Unless they explicitly put an exact copy of his art in the game then I see nothing wrong with it.
Here's what I think regarding Marianne's powers: she got second degree burns as a toddler. Seeing the treatments, probably from a fire. Considering she was only three, she might have been 'on the brink of death' which granted her the possibility to cross over between worlds. This would also explain the feathered arm and her damaged leg when she is in the spirit world. That's where she got severe burns.
Game literally starts with the narrator saying "It all starts with a dead girl". Gab, not two minutes later: "Is he gonna shoot the girl?" Perfect Gab opening of a new video, I'm hooked.
This is possibly the most terrifying thing I have ever seen. It's probably mostly because I love Beksinski, but also the storytelling is so emotional and that just makes things that would ordinarily creepy become terrifying
I really like your stories about your time in Poland. My family,several generations back, came from Poland and my dad will do cooking a lot of food in advance thing and I thought it was just to save time lol, maybe it's a tradition
LOL the part where the demon jumps up at the door, I screamed and almost fell off the chair, definitely need a sequel to this game it was phenomenal and the scares were amazing, even without MAW chasing after you, it was the atmosphere because you just didn't know what was going to happen.
The ball falling down the stairs is a classic scare, featuring in a lot of scary stories. But the first time it's in an actual movie is, IIRC, The Changeling with George C Scott, one of the best haunted house movies of the 70's-80's.
It's so good to see open conversation about death and end of life options! Also, in regard to those bio-urns that grow trees, they don't really work from what I've read. A better option would be to mix the cremated remains into soil and fertilizer, until there's more soil than remains, and then plant a tree in that! The cremated remains on their own don't have enough nutrients to encourage a tree to flourish 🖤
This is awesome. I'm from around Krakow/Cracow and when you described how your exchange friend's mum cooked so much food at once to last few days...yeah. Moms in Poland do that a lot 🤣🤣🤣 it's so cool to know you've seen Krakow! From what I can see so far (still watching) it's incredibly deep into polish culture, religion and design of the 90s the developers did incredible job. And you pronouncing things is really fun, don't worry about haters :D
They really did an incredible job with the environments! The look of the apartment is like taken out of some photos from the 90's from Poland. The details got me flabberghasted, I don't think I have ever seen such good show of how a house in poland in the 90's looked like.
I saw my grandad in a open casket and it was honestly traumatizing. I will never forget how terrifying it was. They put the makeup all on him but a body without a soul is something you can't cover up with makeup. So scary! I hate that that was my last memory of my grandad.
The way you pronounced "Cracow" in polish at 56:45 sounds just about right! And yup, my grandma also used to prepare dinners to last for 2 or 3 days, I guess I can say it is a polish custom in some kind of way :D
Very cool, I found the part with her talking to her dead Father very moving. The left hand/arm is used to cut tarot cards as well as to deal, because it's closest to the heart so you can connect to the spiritual world. That way you can get clearer readings, maybe that's where the game creator's got the idea of the spirit arm. Just a thought. Loving the play through Gab's, looking forward to the next one😀
I totally agree with the growing a Tree from my ashes. I think it is a great way to be cremated and yet still have a burial marker for loved ones left behind. There is a cemetery in the next town over from me that actually has a forest of these trees and have people tend them so they are healthy and don't die.
Is anyone else wondering if Gab is in the right headspace for this game right now? In the first like 30 minutes it felt like all of the things the game was telling her subtly (like the calendar clearly shows Jack had a brain tumor or something along those lines, the exposition clearly said "we lived over the mortuary" and then Gab was shocked they lived over the mortuary, and the main girl used to get in trouble for telling the kids at school what their recently dead were up to but Gab was shocked to realized she was a medium) were totally missed. Like it feels like she was so focused on something else and feeling so uncomfortable about it that she missed everything the game was trying to tell her. I hope she's not like pushing herself to play this despite being very uncomfortable with how close to home it is.
Considering that Seán recently lost his father, I can understand your concern. I’d be lying if I said the thought hadn’t crossed my mind as well. I’m really glad Evelien and Seán have each other... and BB, of course. 💚🥺🥺💚
The moment when Gab was so happy when she saw text to read was the most adorable and wholesome thing I have seen in a horror gameplay... I hope you continue enjoying the game Gab! Looking forward to more episodes!!
"Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
4:30 we have this tipe of teacups in russian trains! omg soo nostalgic! I remember them from my childhood and they are still used now: glass cup inside and an iron holder (which is so stupid if you think about it, it gets suuuper hot because of the tea and I've burned my fingers several times when I was a child😂)
@@blueignis764 ahaha right? still so nice to have and hold them, they have such intricate designs sometimes! There were series of thematic cup holders in USSR with different places depicted on them or war-themed images, they are a piece of history for sure
Child of former Eastern Germany here, we had those too! To this day you will find those in the houses of your grandparents, especially when they live on the country side. It's really nostalgic xD I remember the holder being also made out of colourful hard plastic instead of iron as well.
I LOVE this perspective. Kind of explains why everyday people who can't see this stuff would call a person like her crazy, delusional or with an inflated/distorted self image.
The story of the polish mom making a ton of food for a few days makes me think of my own mom making a huge pot of menudo or posole in the winter and we eat that for a few days ^_^ Also, bekzinski inspired spirit world with akira yamaoka and arkadiusz reikowski for the soundtrack, super excited to watch this! playthrough!
The camera work in this game is next level. The panning/zooming/etc. that it does (like 40:41 - 40:53) even while Marianne is walking obviously took a lot of effort to get right.
It's so weird for me to see Poland in games, I recognised things like architecture and furniture from that time, my grandparents still have some furniture in that style. I'm so exited to watch you play this game !
Wow that first scene with the spirit realm really got me 😭😭😭 I have recurring dreams about a beach type place where my grandparents appeared after they died. Its so painful to see them. Nice but also painful when I wake up.
She mentioned Jack owning the funeral home in his room and she mentions that they lived above it when you first go to the exit but then go back to check what you missed before moving on. This isn't a criticism, just letting you know. I feel like I miss information in games all the time and don't realise until I play through again.
Ough Marianne and Jack hit me real hard. I lost my father two years ago, and my mother 9 years prior, and stuff relating to deceased parents makes me real uncomfy I remember the beginning of guardians of the galaxy really got me, and my friend refused to tell me for whatever reason about Starlord's mom.
I know this video came out a few hours ago but! I think the little spiky things on the characters arm in the spirit world could be where some of her other burns are! Obviously idk if this is true but interesting to me! Either way loving this game and love you Gab!!
I love how happy she looks when she gets to perform certain actions in these games. She has such a light in her eyes. I love it!!! Always keep that light Gab. I needed to see this.
I was about to answer what I would want for myself when I die, but you basically answered exactly what I wanted: I want to be cremated and have a tree planted on my grave. Thinking a tree that would be easy to climb and in a place that I could pass down to my family for generations, so I would be with them for decades, if not centuries.
Considering how much of horror is rooted in real grief and catharsis of those feelings, I'm glad streamers like you exist! You were so human and sensitive about the content over just trying to find the next scare. I knew I couldn't play this game because it was too close to reality, as you said, but playing it with you was a very nice experience. Thank you for this!
Omg, when I saw the notification I was like "yeees". I've been wanting to check this game for a while, but none of the channels I follow had played yet but now this came and made my day a thousand times better because I can see how the game is, with one of the best people
I actually just bursted into tears watching the first twenty-eight minutes this because two friends of mine had passed away recently and I miss them so much. I almost didn't even want to watch this because of my losses. I know y'all are gonna tell me that if I can't handle this video then I shouldn't watch it, but I just really wanted to see what this game was like after looking it up a couple times when the trailer for it dropped.
You never realize that there's something like Polish style until you start watching this not knowing it's a Polish game, you see the first interior and you're like "holy shit, this looks like my grandparents' house!".
This game really feels like a piece of art. Reminds me of the first time I watched Until Dawn - really get’s me excited about the stories games can tell.
The food thing sounds more like a poor person thing, that is what my family does it especially during winter so that when we got home we could just heat the food up for 3min in the microwave and it would give us something to warm ourselves up faster.
When you talked about going to Poland and the mom making a ton of food - it is a Polish thing! Or at least, I'm pretty sure because my mom's family is primarily Polish, and that has always been a thing for us.
agree, i really wish the next silent hill will return to this kind of 3rd person cinematic fixed camera angle like this. and i believe blooper can do it
Thanks for adding the photosensitivity warning from the game at the start of the video too. I have a seizure disorder and I don't get seizures from flashing/strobing lights but they make me feel quite sick sometimes. Also I've known people who have photosensitive epilepsy. I've seen a lot of stuff that should have a warning not. So yeah, definitely appreciate it.
I'm so damn ready for this, can't wait for the next episode!!! I love this kind of games, slow paced, atmospheric, lots of puzzles... And terrifying monsters lurking around of course XD
I wasn't expecting to be crying my eyes out watching this at 2 in the morning. It's really making me miss my grandma. I wish I hugged her longer and smiled more the last time I saw her before I went to stay in another country.
When Gab accidentally said “abducted” instead of “adopted”, I lost it! Good to be back watching Gabbu’s brilliant contents. Been a while... with so many things happening around the world right now.
I love that you're so aware of the technicalities that go behind the game itself :D I'm an aspiring concept artist and seeing people pay attention to the details like the textures, shots, etc.. really makes me happy :D glad i got you in my recommended section :)
I loved the moments when you’d pause the game to talk about things. Like about your experience in Poland. Just wanted to mention that 😊 Oh also!! I think it’s dumb if people criticize how you pronounce names and definitely love the idea of pronouncing them the way you would in Dutch :D
I think it’s cool this takes place in Poland! I’m part polish and my dad speaks polish quite well. And yes, Cracow is pronounced Cra-cof. This game looks really good so far! I’m excited for next episode!
Yay, a game placed in Krakow! I visited that city two years ago and loved it a lot. So happy to see a game taken place in this beautiful city 💖 Also for people a bit uncomfortable about the topic of death and funerals, I would recommend listening to a woman called Caitlyn who has a RUclips channel called Ask a Mortician. She does all her content about death, owing a funeral home and educates about these topics
I’m currently binge watching both of your little nightmares series and I’m addicted XD I love your let’s plays so much Gab! Thank you for making these videos it really makes my day
As someone who has lost a lot of people in my life, the opening of this game hit very hard. Still a great game though. I'm very intrigued to see where it goes.
Gab: I know it is a morbid topic... Me: I have had plans for my final preparations since I was 6 years old. The only modification since then is that I will likely do the tree part, probably an oak.
I'm with you Gab. I hate that at the end of every funeral they make everyone go row by row by the casket. I always feel so rude because you know the family is watching everyone say their goodbyes and there I am staring at the ground walking as fast as possible outta there Edit: holy sh*t I've never met anyone else that wants to be cremated and made into a tree! My family thinks I'm weird but I think it's beautiful.
I also want to turn into a tree! I think it's the most romantic thing you can do. That from your body, you can help something grow. It's kinda morbid but that's how things work with nature. At least something beautiful would grow after I die instead of just withering inside a wooden box. And I like to imagine that if more people did it, we could actually "build" a forest like that. That's so awesome!
I'm taken aback that the Medium is already out, I could have sworn that it was still some time away. I'm actually very interested in the game's main mechanic, so I'm glad to see Gab pick it up. When Gab was walking around on the landing outside the apartment, I was taken aback because it looks very similar to the building architecture in Observer.

I love watching Gab's videos before going to sleep, het voice is so relaxing, and she looks very comfortable, and that makes me comfortable.
how would you describe this game?
Well, there's mass hysteria coming from a shoe.
if this is called the medium, think the sequel will be called 'the large'?
nah given the prequel name "ghost whisperer" on tv I doubt that :P
mfg
Olli
perhaps the medium-large?
X-Medium. Gotta stay on brand.

😭
1:16:19 - Pipofezine is an antidepressant, and Buspirone is used to treat general anxiety. Marianne saying she knows the drugs "all too well" might suggest she has taken them in the past so she also has/had depression and anxiety ~
Also, yay Gab and 3rd person horror.. always a pleasure to watch :D
Gab, I have always been so impressed with your mastery of not only 2 but 3 languages! You speak English better than a lot of people! Dont even worry about the petty complaints.
Not even petty but ignorant. The way a proper noun for a person is pronounced can only be validated by the person itself. So in the case of peripheral characters in a game, movie, book et al whose names are only appearing in written form it is just a best effort exercise.
@@forklessI know it’s late but to be fair if there is voice acting in a game there’s definitely generally a canon way to pronounce the name that is preferred by the creators. That being said, it’s obviously not cool to critique and hassle someone for simply having an accent
As a Polish person, I was completely not aware of this game! It's so amazing seeing our country represented in a game like this! There have been Polish games in the past, plnety of them quite great, but none so explicitly about Poland, this is great!
Also, "Studnie przodków" (the forefathers' wells) is such a wonderful, fun book, I love Joanna Chmielewska (as do many Polish readers), it's so cool to find it in the game, I feel so weirdly touched
Goobers trying to read Polish names cracks me up, but no shade, they're hard to get right if you don't know the rules, you're doing great,vhaha
"Did he live above a funeral home?" "Wait, did he own a funeral home?" Evelyn really pays attention... lol.
I just now noticed that the spirit world design really looks like Polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski´s art. It´s so uncanny, it can´t be coincidence. Anyone know anything about that?
EDIT: I just checked it, and the game is in fact inspired by his art! I really recommend checking it out, there´s an instagram account dedicated to his work. One of my favorite artists!
I second that, I picked up an art book of his work just because of the cover art! I'll get around to playing this someday, mentally I don't think I could handle it right now.
@@thequadglaser1983 haha same, I'd rather watch Gab play it from a safe distance 😄
daaaang now I love it even more!!
Let me guess: "inspired by" but has nothing to do with him, nor was his estate or relatives contacted about any of it. Classic Bloober Team, hacks and thieves.
@@SapphireDragon357 He's a polish artist, they're a polish studio, it's an homage to an artist they like. Unless they explicitly put an exact copy of his art in the game then I see nothing wrong with it.
I love how excited gab gets talking about games she has played.
Here's what I think regarding Marianne's powers: she got second degree burns as a toddler. Seeing the treatments, probably from a fire. Considering she was only three, she might have been 'on the brink of death' which granted her the possibility to cross over between worlds. This would also explain the feathered arm and her damaged leg when she is in the spirit world. That's where she got severe burns.
Game literally starts with the narrator saying "It all starts with a dead girl".
Gab, not two minutes later: "Is he gonna shoot the girl?"
Perfect Gab opening of a new video, I'm hooked.
I remember that Fatal Frame 3 lets you pet the cat. God, I feel old.
We are old mate
For people who like how this game looks. Spirit world in that game is inspired by paintings of polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński.
I'm from Poland and I swear there's no more nostalgical thing than that wall-cabinet from the start-
1:16:29
Pipofezine -> antidepressant
Buspirone -> anxiolytic (to treat anxiety disorders)
This is possibly the most terrifying thing I have ever seen. It's probably mostly because I love Beksinski, but also the storytelling is so emotional and that just makes things that would ordinarily creepy become terrifying
Literally was thinking yesterday on why no one that I'm subbed to played this game... love your vids Gab!
Literally, I was thinking the exact same thing and then BOOM, Gabs showed up, lol
Literally 😂
This game gets to join Last of Us in the "Made me cry before the title screen" list, holy crap
I really like your stories about your time in Poland. My family,several generations back, came from Poland and my dad will do cooking a lot of food in advance thing and I thought it was just to save time lol, maybe it's a tradition
LOL the part where the demon jumps up at the door, I screamed and almost fell off the chair, definitely need a sequel to this game it was phenomenal and the scares were amazing, even without MAW chasing after you, it was the atmosphere because you just didn't know what was going to happen.
I love her interactions with Sadness, you get to see more emotions from Marianne. Irony is she's happier about Sadness lol
The ball falling down the stairs is a classic scare, featuring in a lot of scary stories. But the first time it's in an actual movie is, IIRC, The Changeling with George C Scott, one of the best haunted house movies of the 70's-80's.
It's so good to see open conversation about death and end of life options! Also, in regard to those bio-urns that grow trees, they don't really work from what I've read. A better option would be to mix the cremated remains into soil and fertilizer, until there's more soil than remains, and then plant a tree in that! The cremated remains on their own don't have enough nutrients to encourage a tree to flourish 🖤
Back here to listen for Sean screaming downstairs in the background? Go here: 2:07
Thank you 😂
HAHAHAHA HE WAS SO MAD. I know what he was screaming at too, just finishing his let's play of it
@@LilRedWitch What game?
That’s so funny 😂 would also be curious to know which game he was yelling at
@@marika4836 little nightmares 2! I was watching this while he was playing little nightmares 2
I’ve already seen a play through of this but I came back just for best gal Gab
This is awesome. I'm from around Krakow/Cracow and when you described how your exchange friend's mum cooked so much food at once to last few days...yeah. Moms in Poland do that a lot 🤣🤣🤣 it's so cool to know you've seen Krakow! From what I can see so far (still watching) it's incredibly deep into polish culture, religion and design of the 90s the developers did incredible job. And you pronouncing things is really fun, don't worry about haters :D
They really did an incredible job with the environments! The look of the apartment is like taken out of some photos from the 90's from Poland. The details got me flabberghasted, I don't think I have ever seen such good show of how a house in poland in the 90's looked like.
I saw my grandad in a open casket and it was honestly traumatizing. I will never forget how terrifying it was. They put the makeup all on him but a body without a soul is something you can't cover up with makeup. So scary! I hate that that was my last memory of my grandad.
The way you pronounced "Cracow" in polish at 56:45 sounds just about right! And yup, my grandma also used to prepare dinners to last for 2 or 3 days, I guess I can say it is a polish custom in some kind of way :D
Very cool, I found the part with her talking to her dead Father very moving.
The left hand/arm is used to cut tarot cards as well as to deal, because it's closest to the heart so you can connect to the spiritual world. That way you can get clearer readings, maybe that's where the game creator's got the idea of the spirit arm. Just a thought.
Loving the play through Gab's, looking forward to the next one😀
I totally agree with the growing a Tree from my ashes. I think it is a great way to be cremated and yet still have a burial marker for loved ones left behind. There is a cemetery in the next town over from me that actually has a forest of these trees and have people tend them so they are healthy and don't die.
Is anyone else wondering if Gab is in the right headspace for this game right now? In the first like 30 minutes it felt like all of the things the game was telling her subtly (like the calendar clearly shows Jack had a brain tumor or something along those lines, the exposition clearly said "we lived over the mortuary" and then Gab was shocked they lived over the mortuary, and the main girl used to get in trouble for telling the kids at school what their recently dead were up to but Gab was shocked to realized she was a medium) were totally missed. Like it feels like she was so focused on something else and feeling so uncomfortable about it that she missed everything the game was trying to tell her. I hope she's not like pushing herself to play this despite being very uncomfortable with how close to home it is.
Considering that Seán recently lost his father, I can understand your concern. I’d be lying if I said the thought hadn’t crossed my mind as well.
I’m really glad Evelien and Seán have each other... and BB, of course.
💚🥺🥺💚
Okay I started crying in the first 28 minutes, gonna need tissues for this walk through
The moment when Gab was so happy when she saw text to read was the most adorable and wholesome thing I have seen in a horror gameplay... I hope you continue enjoying the game Gab! Looking forward to more episodes!!
They found the HOLY HAND GRENADE OF ANTIOCH! Monty Python throwback. At 9:46
"Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
Ha! Good catch!
I love the 'Road difficulties' section too.
4:30 we have this tipe of teacups in russian trains! omg soo nostalgic!
I remember them from my childhood and they are still used now: glass cup inside and an iron holder (which is so stupid if you think about it, it gets suuuper hot because of the tea and I've burned my fingers several times when I was a child😂)
My grandma also has them (I'm Polish) and as soon as I saw them I just felt super nostalgic. But yeah, idk who thought that that design is smart lol
@@blueignis764 ahaha right? still so nice to have and hold them, they have such intricate designs sometimes! There were series of thematic cup holders in USSR with different places depicted on them or war-themed images, they are a piece of history for sure
Child of former Eastern Germany here, we had those too! To this day you will find those in the houses of your grandparents, especially when they live on the country side. It's really nostalgic xD I remember the holder being also made out of colourful hard plastic instead of iron as well.
@@EdithWildflowers yep, some trains here have them in red or reddish-orange colored plastic now! but the iron ones are for sure cooler in my opinion 😄
@@Mom_spagetti99 Absolutely, they are way cooler! Especially since they often had little scenes or general patterns on them. Much more fun xD
I LOVE this perspective. Kind of explains why everyday people who can't see this stuff would call a person like her crazy, delusional or with an inflated/distorted self image.
The story of the polish mom making a ton of food for a few days makes me think of my own mom making a huge pot of menudo or posole in the winter and we eat that for a few days ^_^
Also, bekzinski inspired spirit world with akira yamaoka and arkadiusz reikowski for the soundtrack, super excited to watch this! playthrough!
The camera work in this game is next level. The panning/zooming/etc. that it does (like 40:41 - 40:53) even while Marianne is walking obviously took a lot of effort to get right.
It's so weird for me to see Poland in games, I recognised things like architecture and furniture from that time, my grandparents still have some furniture in that style. I'm so exited to watch you play this game !
It's always hilarious when you can just hear Sean screaming or else yelling in the background and Gab is recording calmly 😂😂😂
Wow that first scene with the spirit realm really got me 😭😭😭
I have recurring dreams about a beach type place where my grandparents appeared after they died. Its so painful to see them. Nice but also painful when I wake up.
She mentioned Jack owning the funeral home in his room and she mentions that they lived above it when you first go to the exit but then go back to check what you missed before moving on. This isn't a criticism, just letting you know. I feel like I miss information in games all the time and don't realise until I play through again.
Troy Baker can do it all, from being utterly loved as Joel, to utterly feared as The Maw, gotta love the talent ❤
I just love how you can hear Sean screaming during the intro
The visuals to this game is SO APPEALING! Oh my gosh, wow!
Who else wants to just lay on that couch and listen to Gabs? It looks so comfy and with BB up there, so cozy! Love it!
Ough Marianne and Jack hit me real hard.
I lost my father two years ago, and my mother 9 years prior, and stuff relating to deceased parents makes me real uncomfy
I remember the beginning of guardians of the galaxy really got me, and my friend refused to tell me for whatever reason about Starlord's mom.
I know this video came out a few hours ago but! I think the little spiky things on the characters arm in the spirit world could be where some of her other burns are! Obviously idk if this is true but interesting to me! Either way loving this game and love you Gab!!
I love how happy she looks when she gets to perform certain actions in these games. She has such a light in her eyes. I love it!!! Always keep that light Gab. I needed to see this.
I was about to answer what I would want for myself when I die, but you basically answered exactly what I wanted: I want to be cremated and have a tree planted on my grave. Thinking a tree that would be easy to climb and in a place that I could pass down to my family for generations, so I would be with them for decades, if not centuries.
Hey, I'm Polish. It's surprisingly fun to see your own language in a game :)
JD
Considering how much of horror is rooted in real grief and catharsis of those feelings, I'm glad streamers like you exist! You were so human and sensitive about the content over just trying to find the next scare. I knew I couldn't play this game because it was too close to reality, as you said, but playing it with you was a very nice experience. Thank you for this!
Omg, when I saw the notification I was like "yeees". I've been wanting to check this game for a while, but none of the channels I follow had played yet but now this came and made my day a thousand times better because I can see how the game is, with one of the best people
I actually just bursted into tears watching the first twenty-eight minutes this because two friends of mine had passed away recently and I miss them so much. I almost didn't even want to watch this because of my losses. I know y'all are gonna tell me that if I can't handle this video then I shouldn't watch it, but I just really wanted to see what this game was like after looking it up a couple times when the trailer for it dropped.
Round of applause to Nate for the editing such a long stream, it was really fun to watch :) *chef's kiss*
the graphics are insane. the depth, reflection, everything
About 22 minutes into this and ...well, this hits so close to home. I can't help tearing up. Sending much love to everyone.
You never realize that there's something like Polish style until you start watching this not knowing it's a Polish game, you see the first interior and you're like "holy shit, this looks like my grandparents' house!".
This game really feels like a piece of art. Reminds me of the first time I watched Until Dawn - really get’s me excited about the stories games can tell.
The food thing sounds more like a poor person thing, that is what my family does it especially during winter so that when we got home we could just heat the food up for 3min in the microwave and it would give us something to warm ourselves up faster.
When you talked about going to Poland and the mom making a ton of food - it is a Polish thing! Or at least, I'm pretty sure because my mom's family is primarily Polish, and that has always been a thing for us.
18:53 of course he did. You already forgot the part where she talks about how he was a humble Christian man who owned a funeral home.
Way cool. Looking like Bloober may be producing the next Silent Hill for Konami.
agree, i really wish the next silent hill will return to this kind of 3rd person cinematic fixed camera angle like this. and i believe blooper can do it
Thanks for adding the photosensitivity warning from the game at the start of the video too. I have a seizure disorder and I don't get seizures from flashing/strobing lights but they make me feel quite sick sometimes. Also I've known people who have photosensitive epilepsy. I've seen a lot of stuff that should have a warning not. So yeah, definitely appreciate it.
I'm so damn ready for this, can't wait for the next episode!!! I love this kind of games, slow paced, atmospheric, lots of puzzles... And terrifying monsters lurking around of course XD
I wasn't expecting to be crying my eyes out watching this at 2 in the morning. It's really making me miss my grandma. I wish I hugged her longer and smiled more the last time I saw her before I went to stay in another country.
I literally didn't watch any playthroughs because I was waiting for yours! love you!! :D
When Gab accidentally said “abducted” instead of “adopted”, I lost it! Good to be back watching Gabbu’s brilliant contents. Been a while... with so many things happening around the world right now.
I love that you're so aware of the technicalities that go behind the game itself :D I'm an aspiring concept artist and seeing people pay attention to the details like the textures, shots, etc.. really makes me happy :D glad i got you in my recommended section :)
I loved the moments when you’d pause the game to talk about things. Like about your experience in Poland. Just wanted to mention that 😊
Oh also!! I think it’s dumb if people criticize how you pronounce names and definitely love the idea of pronouncing them the way you would in Dutch :D
I think it’s cool this takes place in Poland! I’m part polish and my dad speaks polish quite well. And yes, Cracow is pronounced Cra-cof.
This game looks really good so far! I’m excited for next episode!
Yay, a game placed in Krakow! I visited that city two years ago and loved it a lot. So happy to see a game taken place in this beautiful city 💖 Also for people a bit uncomfortable about the topic of death and funerals, I would recommend listening to a woman called Caitlyn who has a RUclips channel called Ask a Mortician. She does all her content about death, owing a funeral home and educates about these topics
I’m currently binge watching both of your little nightmares series and I’m addicted XD I love your let’s plays so much Gab! Thank you for making these videos it really makes my day
Bloober never fails to amaze me with the way they do chase sequences in their games
As someone who has lost a lot of people in my life, the opening of this game hit very hard. Still a great game though. I'm very intrigued to see where it goes.
Gab: I know it is a morbid topic...
Me: I have had plans for my final preparations since I was 6 years old. The only modification since then is that I will likely do the tree part, probably an oak.
I'm with you Gab. I hate that at the end of every funeral they make everyone go row by row by the casket. I always feel so rude because you know the family is watching everyone say their goodbyes and there I am staring at the ground walking as fast as possible outta there
Edit: holy sh*t I've never met anyone else that wants to be cremated and made into a tree! My family thinks I'm weird but I think it's beautiful.
There’s a company trying to launch that turns you into pet food for your dog/cat or general nature.
I also want to turn into a tree! I think it's the most romantic thing you can do. That from your body, you can help something grow. It's kinda morbid but that's how things work with nature. At least something beautiful would grow after I die instead of just withering inside a wooden box. And I like to imagine that if more people did it, we could actually "build" a forest like that. That's so awesome!
@@Izzy-uh9wp really? I feel like a ‘people” forest is pure concentrated nightmare fuel.
@@ItsAllG00d Do you find forests frightening?
I'm taken aback that the Medium is already out, I could have sworn that it was still some time away. I'm actually very interested in the game's main mechanic, so I'm glad to see Gab pick it up.
When Gab was walking around on the landing outside the apartment, I was taken aback because it looks very similar to the building architecture in Observer.
This game also has ray tracing like Control, that's why the reflections and lighting looks so good!
Dunno if the console version has it tho.
It should. Control does for consoles. (Pro, etc. only)
It's good to see you back in your roots of Survival Horror. I love watching these playthroughs.
