20 minutes in, I paused the video, purchased the game, played it 4 times to get all of the achievements because chill is a foreign concept to me. Now I can safely finish watching this.
This game is based on areas I live near. “Undermere” is based on Windermere which where I go all the time. It made me enjoy this game just that extra bit.
Had a couple of holidays in the Lakes the last couple of years. Been to Windermere, Keswick, Ambleside. We hiked Hellvelyn last year and hubby wanted to do Scafell pike this year but we didn't get round to it. Gorgeous area.
Oh my word. This annoyed me SO MUCH while playing!! I kept trying to keep my plants organized and Wandering Bue kept leaving its spot and pushing the other plants out of place. 😂 I eventually gave up trying to put it back.
This is likely to get buried in all the other comments but there are actually plants that "walk" irl! There's a type of palm tree that grows roots in the direction it wants to go (towards sunlight) and the roots behind it lift up and die, so if you timelapse it you can see it "walk". Also, these aren't plants (they're protists, used to be classified as fungi) but slime molds can move during certain stages of their life cycle. Basically, if conditions are favorable (enough water and food) slime molds actually exist as separate tiny single celled organisms. But if the environment doesn't have enough resources, they clump together and form kind of a slug that can move like an actual slug. There's other stuff that they do that's even wilder, anyone who's interested should definitely read about it because slime molds are super cool.
“Just be happy you’re not dreaming of skin crocodiles like I am” _w h a t ._ Also this game seems soooo cool and relaxing so far Despite not even being flowering plants, I think Swiftsnare and Sheepsnap might be a couple of my favorites… and Everheart. That one was _very_ pretty.
I swear Gabs, you always know how to pick games! Yet another one has been added to the steam basket, after Little Witch in the Woods, Unpacking, Alice: Madness Returns.... the list goes on. I mean I'm not complaining (my bank account is!) but daaaamn I've never seen another youtuber with as good taste!
I completely understand! I don't know how she keeps finding cozy little games. Literally watched this on a rainy friday and I gotta say, it was perfected with a cup of hot tea and some dark chocolate pretzels.
I watched the stream VOD, such a great, interesting game. As a pharmacist, I kinda wish there was a version with real plants too. Could be a great learning tool.
I thought the EXACT same thing. That would definitely make plant classification a lot easier! Though most real plants aren't as...magical as these ones are
I wonder if the developers wanted safe guard themselves and not put real plants/combinations in on the chance someone were to try something irl and be hurt by it. I suspect it has probably happened before with how many herbology and witch books are available
@@samanthaschmidt3628 honestly that might be it, some plants, if used by an amateur, such as Convaaria Maialis for example (popular lily of the valley) could cause serious heart problems.
Yep, as a horticulturalist, I imagine they didn't want to take any risks. There are so many beneficial plants, but many harmful ones too. You wouldn't want someone claiming they learned it from the game. Or to just have it on your conscience as the creator.
gab i'm envious of how quickly you process the hints. I can't even get through my first "hm" before you've already solved it! this game was so captivating!
As an avid gardener with a soft spot for plants with lots of folklore attached to them, this game is right up my alley. Watching you play through the whole thing made me super excited to buy the game myself, just so I could arrange and label my own shelves XD
What a lovely game! Being a landscape designer I was very confused and surprised at first about some of the plant descriptions. Didn't realize right away they are made up plants. Haha!
They did a good job of mimicking the kind of etymology real plants have, including the fact that they go by different names based on local folklore. Like, if you search for real plants with peculiar names, you find names like Sneezewort, Sticky Willy and Mother-in-Law's Tongue.
@@Kumagoro42 What I think is absolutely fascinating is the fact that the "Strange Book of Plants" is by "Voynich" which is hinting at the Voynich Manuscripts, an old mysterious book that has yet to be decoded to this day!
31:05 I loved that "funceh" fancy from misfortune 🥺 its amazing how we all bring a tiny fragment of all the games within our brain and they come out right at the perfect time 😆
I was wondering if you'd play it, I enjoyed it a lot, especially the part with identifying plants hehe. Grabbing a cup of tea and getting ready to spend chill 4 hours
I have a hard time sleeping due to chronic nightmares, but currently my remedy is putting on a Gab video and listening to her kind voice lull me into a sweet dreamless sleep. Thanks Gab for the videos ❤
Everytime she had to wait more for "the will to explore" I was yelling YOU CAN WATER THE PLANTS!!! I swear Gab was always looking away when it popped up
I wish they made a game like this for cellphones. It’d be the perfect game to play while waiting, plus I desperately want to color code everything red-danger yellow-neutral/good purple-elixir. I also am curious what the plants would look like in alphabetical order. Mushrooms elixirs and alien looking plants on the top shelves. Gabs organizing by color is beautiful though.
Learning about other people's organizing tricks is always great. Personally, I organize as such: -Yellow: Unidentified/unconfirmed (but strong suspicion) -Purple: Identified -Red: Elixirs and other oddities Also, I've organized the identified stuff by category (flowers separated from mushrooms, separated from seed-bearing plants, separated from fruitless/seedless plants, separated from non-plant things) and alphabetically. Flowers being kept off the shelves because you don't have enough room for all your residents x)
yaaas! I was thinking the same, the whole time! xD I would color labe same as you, and most definitely by alphabet. As the top shelves are divided, also use more the bottom one. Pleasantly surprised, to find your comment exactly with my thoughts!
i love these streams of chill mildly mystical games like this and Little Witch in the Woods. i crochet a lot while watching your vods and this is the perfect comfy atmosphere for that. half of this vod was spent crocheting an ivy garland and the other half relaxing with a glass of iced tea.
Gab ALWAYS knows how to pick these indie games and typically the longer videos I struggle to get through with my attention span/focus but the fact that Gab condenses small games into long videos and takes out the pressure of having to pick to watch the next series is really helpful! Idk if any other neurodivergent ppl experience this but I'm very thankful it's so easy to digest
I think if I was at a horticulturist and they didn’t have what I wanted so they went hold on let me check my map, I think I can go find this for you, I would totally wait for them. That would be so nice!
That was similar to my experience: I didn't know what I was getting into with only one screen, it reminded me of a solo table top RPG I play called Apothecaria, so I gave it a shot. From a tentative start, to "a little bit more", I ended up playing the whole thing twice to get a different ending, unable to stop myself. I really recommend it!
Having a sick day but this video with the nice music and rainy day vibes + a snoozy puppy by my feet is just what I needed. Thanks Gab for offering us a space to chill when we need it ☺️✨
Those chill and witchy vibes games are sooo pleasing to watch! I feel like they fit Gab's mood a lot (in the sense that I think I wouldn't enjoy watching this as much if it wasn't Gab playing it)! It's my own opinion of course and I love watching Gab play more intense and horror like games too ~ PS: I also really like those games with a herbarium or bestiarium, it gives so many ideas for personal projects
Your channel is easily one of my top 3 favorites to sit and watch, or just put on in the background to keep me company. I've been binging your older videos, noticing you played a love of obscure indie I've enjoyed playing myself, and even ones I've been hesitant to get, and I've been enjoying every minute. I'm still SO MAD AT MYSELF for not finding your YT and twitch sooner, because you are one of the only creators that's kept me from spiraling while in the process of packing/moving cross-country. You're awesome, Gab; I adore your content, and thank you so much for delightful entertaining videos that keep us sane and company 🥰☺
I am sure this is an open-ended question but if you know of any then please add it to the thread: Are any of these plants based on any real plants? Whether it is design or description.
I've watched this many times, leaving it on in the background, the soft music and quiet voice making for such a wonderful way to pass an afternoon while I write
I always get so excited when I see Gab playing a game I've enjoyed. I'd love for her to play Cat and Ghostly Road. I think she'd really REALLY enjoy it.
This video has been my go-to for bedtime, I don't think I've actually seen the end since I usually fall asleep.😅 The music with the rain pattering puts me to ease and calms my anxiety. Thanks for playing this game ❤️
My youtube always auto-plays this video when I fall asleep. I'll wake up and hear the sounds of strange horticulture, laugh, and pass back out. Thanks gab. You truly are my favorite youtuber.
One of the most unique games I've played in a long time. Glad to see you play it too! Not only is it fun, and gorgeous, but it also let's you pet the cat. So it gets double cool points just for that.
I alphabetized the plants once I knew what they were called. Did something like yellow tags for A-H, pink for I-P, purple for Q-Z. I found it more helpful gameplay wise lol
I bought this recently and finished it within days. It was very interesting and fun. My strategy was to go through the entries, label the flowers with a ? mark at the end after guessing, and set the game to automatically label the plants once they were properly identified. Then I put the identified plants to the right and left the questionable ones on the left. It made the game a bit easier that way
This has been such a pleasant video to watch Gab, thank you for the pick! I also want to say thank you for playing the new Syberia game as I wasn't aware of it and I loved watching you appreciate the wonder of the world. I didn't actually realise it until halfway through the video, and this may be a little fun fact, but the map may be inspired by the Peak District in Cumbria, a Northwest county in England. Kendal, Grasmere, and Tebay are all real places although they may be rather different in the game as it seems to be set in a particular time period and have some fantastical elements. Also just realised Undermere may be Windermere in modern times.
While that dude is awful, he kinda has a point about the store not being a good place for a cat - especially one that is known to nibble on plants. It's way too dangerous for them with so many toxic plants around! Let's just hope this is the kind of universe that has smart cats that know what is safe to eat and what isn't.
What I think is really interesting is that the "Strange book of Plants" says it is written by "Voynich" which hints at the "Voynich Manuscript" that is written in unknown language. 🤩
I absolutely loved playing this game, and it was fun to not only watch you enjoy it but also to see how you sorted your plants! I also sorted somewhat by colors, but I had mushrooms, berries, flowerless, and bulb plants in their own groups as well. Made it easier to find things sometimes. Eventually I switched to sorting by healing plants, poisons/negative effects, and plants with no effects so I could keep up with customers' demands!
I went by flower type with, of course, flowerless being their own category, as were mushrooms. Took me three days to realize the wandering bue was getting itself out of proper placement!
This game is so calming and relaxing, it's nice to just listen to, chill out a bit. I will say I desperately want that book of strange plants, I think that would be a cool merch item 😍 Also love how the characters just fade into the back, gives an ominous vibe 😅
After watching you play "a little to the left" this video makes me so happy to see. Only just started watching, but I'm looking forward to how you organise the really conflicting patterns later. Your voice is so calm and soothing.
I can’t quite put my finger on why, but this game reminds me of Sunless Sea. Maybe it’s because you get thrown into a world that feels so alive but so foreign it takes you a while to get your balance.
wow i love this game so much - the concept, the aesthetic, the mystery, the cat! i was torn if i should stop the video and purchase it myself and play first but i was having too much fun watching to stop!
somehow everytime I fall asleep to a YT video, these are the ones I wake up to. It’s actually kinda nice. This game was so soothing and I keep coming back to it when I go to bed.
Ohh lord, the skin crocodiles. I'm with you there, Gab. That lady don't know nothing about scary dreams. My brain cranks out the most disturbing stuff.
So I apologize for only watching the first ten minutes of each of these episodes because I generally use them as a test to see if I want to play them without being spoiled... that said, Gab is legitimately my favorite youtube. Goobers, you da best!
Hey Gab! I really like that u play this kinda game. It's so nice to hear u read the clues and identify the plants. It's nice to watch and hear it, makes me feel sleepy and cozy. Helps a lot for my insomnia and keep me relax This is my favorite video game (next one is Elden Ring) ((Ps: Sorry for my crap english🤣))
Man, I want a magic plant that can keep me warm!! Actually, I want several of those plants. Brimlock, Eyebright… Also I want Lady Elsbeth as a neighbor. She’d be so nice to have tea with!
I played this game a few weeks ago! So much fun, one of my favorite relaxing game. I laughed when you said that you pet the cat before ringing the bell so he doesn't get startled, 'cause I did the exact same hahahahah
had this gem of a video in my Watch Later for a over a year and I finally remembered about it! took my brain long enough 😅 it is actually raining rn as I watch this super cozy
I want you to know that I watched the first 37 mins of this vid and I loved the game so much, I just went to Steam and put it on my wishlist. I plan on playing through it first, then coming back and finishing your video.
I remember watching this when she first played, thinking it was such a cool game, but I had too many games on the go. After over a year, I’ve finally played it, and loved every moment.
This is such a chill vibes playthrough that I am actually going to stop it for the second time, for the second nap i take today. It makes me so sleepy and relaxed, its so cozy
I love the story! At first 30 minutes I felt little bit bored but as story goes on I keep get in the edge of my chair. The mystery, the story line, the characters! 4 hours feel so fast. What lovely game.
I started watching you play this but had to stop so I could go and purchase the game myself and boy am I happy I did! Loving all the calm games you've been playing lately :)
20 minutes in, I paused the video, purchased the game, played it 4 times to get all of the achievements because chill is a foreign concept to me. Now I can safely finish watching this.
Watching this on my day off while working on my first cross-stitch pattern is literally the most relaxing thing
This game is based on areas I live near. “Undermere” is based on Windermere which where I go all the time. It made me enjoy this game just that extra bit.
Fully expecting everybody walking around Windermere with at least one potted plan in arms. Don't care if reality isn't as such.
Is it in Northwest England 🏴 sorry if I’m wrong
@@steph8030593 it’s in the Lake District
Ambleside is in there too.
Had a couple of holidays in the Lakes the last couple of years. Been to Windermere, Keswick, Ambleside. We hiked Hellvelyn last year and hubby wanted to do Scafell pike this year but we didn't get round to it. Gorgeous area.
Fun fact: the Wandering Bue does move on the shelves
There's so many little details in this game, I love it
Oh my word. This annoyed me SO MUCH while playing!! I kept trying to keep my plants organized and Wandering Bue kept leaving its spot and pushing the other plants out of place. 😂 I eventually gave up trying to put it back.
oh, no wonder why my shelves are constantly disorganized lmao
I genuinely thought my game was glitching so I kept reorganizing it 😂
A lot of the plants will be randomly misplaced on the shelves each morning.
Huh? That never happened to me..

That was fascinating, thank you.

hope you guys are doing ok ❤️
Everytime she had to wait more for "the will to explore" I was yelling YOU CAN WATER THE PLANTS!!!

Yes! That worried me that she never ever watered ..but I guess the game forgives. Poor plants!!!!
I wish they made a game like this for cellphones. It’d be the perfect game to play while waiting, plus I desperately want to color code everything red-danger yellow-neutral/good purple-elixir.

2:51:32 “Would you really wanna make that?! …I mean, why not?” That chuckle - yesssss that’s the energy I live for!
That was similar to my experience: I didn't know what I was getting into with only one screen, it reminded me of a solo table top RPG I play called Apothecaria, so I gave it a shot. From a tentative start, to "a little bit more", I ended up playing the whole thing twice to get a different ending, unable to stop myself. I really recommend it!
The part where you say "That's how every plant person feels when they get a new plant" after the lovely Ahhhh sound spoke to my soul 😂
YES!! I have been waiting for you to play this Gab! Also, after my first playthrough I always "accidentally" gave Isidore the wrong plants.
Having a sick day but this video with the nice music and rainy day vibes + a snoozy puppy by my feet is just what I needed. Thanks Gab for offering us a space to chill when we need it ☺️✨
This game has immaculate vibes. The completionist in me wants to see every ending
I have never been more enchanted by such a calming game - once again Gab smashed it out of the park

Nothing. Not a single thing. I'm obsessed.

Also love how the characters just fade into the back, gives an ominous vibe 😅
Good to hear you praise No One Gets Out Alive. It’s one of my favourite horror novels of the last few years.
Oh ho ho!

Only just started watching, but I'm looking forward to how you organise the really conflicting patterns later.
Your voice is so calm and soothing.
Love when she pays games with themes surrounding witchcraft and alchemy.
Forgot this had been released, thanks for the reminder. Played the demo and loved it so I'll be back after I've finished the game. Off to Steam I go!
I can’t quite put my finger on why, but this game reminds me of Sunless Sea. Maybe it’s because you get thrown into a world that feels so alive but so foreign it takes you a while to get your balance.

I'm with you there, Gab. That lady don't know nothing about scary dreams. My brain cranks out the most disturbing stuff.
So I apologize for only watching the first ten minutes of each of these episodes because I generally use them as a test to see if I want to play them without being spoiled... that said, Gab is legitimately my favorite youtube. Goobers, you da best!
I love this game's twist on the English Lake District ❤️
Gab is a godess at game choices. Never would have known about this game otherwise🥰
I see this game played by Gab, and the first thing that comes to my mind is 'Pow! Cinnamon!'
Hey Gab! I really like that u play this kinda game. It's so nice to hear u read the clues and identify the plants.
It's nice to watch and hear it, makes me feel sleepy and cozy. Helps a lot for my insomnia and keep me relax
This is my favorite video game (next one is Elden Ring)
((Ps: Sorry for my crap english🤣))
Your English is really awesome actually.
What an unexpected surprise. This was a comfy mystery at its finest ❤ thank you for sharing!
Gabs, your play through of this game is probably my favorite ever. I appreciate you! Thank you for being amazing :) 💗✨
Amazing! I’m just finishing this video up. Made my day so much better!
Man, I want a magic plant that can keep me warm!! Actually, I want several of those plants. Brimlock, Eyebright… Also I want Lady Elsbeth as a neighbor. She’d be so nice to have tea with!
I played this game a few weeks ago! So much fun, one of my favorite relaxing game. I laughed when you said that you pet the cat before ringing the bell so he doesn't get startled, 'cause I did the exact same hahahahah
watching this with the door open to a rainy day, cwtched up in a blanket and cross stitching - 10/10
thanks gab for another cosy wholesome stream!
Cwtched? Hugged? 🏴
had this gem of a video in my Watch Later for a over a year and I finally remembered about it! took my brain long enough 😅
it is actually raining rn as I watch this
super cozy
Watching this game be played made me make a legit purchase on steam for the first time. I needed this game lmao
i watch this full game and come back months later once i’ve somewhat forgotten the gameplay and get to watch it all over again.
Lol that part "I got cat and I got coffee my life is complete" needs to be on merch!! ❤❤❤
the way the UI is designed reminds me a lot of Papers, Please
Fun fact, you CAN actually kill Isidore early in game. I'm impressed with how much of a dick he is Gabs kept him alive.
I want you to know that I watched the first 37 mins of this vid and I loved the game so much, I just went to Steam and put it on my wishlist. I plan on playing through it first, then coming back and finishing your video.
just the game to watch after those intense episodes of the quarry!
I bought this a few weeks ago and thought you might enjoy it! I’m glad you took the time to give this game some love!
I'm glad you found this! I enjoyed it alot
I remember watching this when she first played, thinking it was such a cool game, but I had too many games on the go. After over a year, I’ve finally played it, and loved every moment.
“Just be happy your not dreaming of skin crocodiles as I am”
WHAT?
how did I miss this till now? was fun to watch.
This is such a chill vibes playthrough that I am actually going to stop it for the second time, for the second nap i take today. It makes me so sleepy and relaxed, its so cozy
I finished this game in one sitting yesterday because I saw your video on it! I wholeheartedly trust your choice in games.
This game was intriguing but somehow so soothing.
Thank you.
i fall asleep to this video sometimes, the sounds are very nice
What an intriguing game. Coffee and Chill ahhhhh :)

I love the story! At first 30 minutes I felt little bit bored but as story goes on I keep get in the edge of my chair. The mystery, the story line, the characters! 4 hours feel so fast. What lovely game.
thank you for playing this!! I'm glad you enjoyed it
I started watching you play this but had to stop so I could go and purchase the game myself and boy am I happy I did! Loving all the calm games you've been playing lately :)
Oh I was hoping you might play this! Awesome. Cup of tea and chill vibes at the ready! ✨
