It’s so funny that she watches CJU! I love when RUclipsrs watch other RUclipsrs and promote their channels, it fosters that sense of community that is found nowhere else ❤❤❤
To start with, I genuinely am not here to ruin anyone’s fun but I think this deserves to be put out there. I used to love CJU but after being on his Discord server he kinda gave me the ick unfortunately. He has at least one ableist mod who is a friend of his (used Down Syndrome as a synonym for stupid) and a boatload of racist/misogynist members. People called things “woke” for having people of color, and women were called warmongers. His YT content was fine but all this soured me on him since he never did anything about it and just let these people culminate a hateful community under his name. Just his complacency with all of it tbh was more than enough for me (he’s active on there so he’s bound to have seen at least some of it). People are free to follow who they like, but that’s a huge problem imo. Maybe there’s something I’m missing, I don’t want to claim I know everything. Readers are welcome to check it out for themselves. Maybe it’s changed. I hope so. Still love Gab! 🩷
Lol, that's why I appreciated that one she played (can't think of the name) where you go through it thinking you're in a guilt illusion because you're a carnie who killed your acrobat wife and daughter but then you find out you're a test subject in a weird social experiment and the hallucinations were actors and sets and you have no wife or child
Honestly they didn't even get that aspect right. Protag felt so confused and removed from the whole situation I was with Gab all the way up to the end that he didn't actually do it. At least with other ones they actually seemed guilty.
I sat down in bed with a freshly made cup of tea, saw you were playing a horror and jokingly thought "I hope I don't get startled by any jump scares and spill it all over myself." Well that's exactly what happened, all over my new bed sheets lol
Yay! My favorite gab horror videos are the 1ish hour or longer vids with just Gab and no group of people. Its really cozy and I can really get into it.
That doll, gave me a fright, I can't believe that not even one second of opening RUclips I saw this video, it's like RUclips knows your my top RUclipsr to watch rn, love the game Gab, love it!
I really thought Dan was killing people and framing Salo to get out of paying the severances or something, possibly planning to take advantage of his medication or history or whatever to frame him but then Salo ended up dying anyway. Neat little bow. Dan survives, can maybe pay of his debts (monetary, not ethical) and move on.
for real. felt very strange, and definitely like Salo was a fall guy, especially with how friendly he seemed and how much motive Dan had? it was definitely A Choice for the game to be like "nah (: you were the bad man all along. Atone."
Love the CJU call out! Gab: you, CJU, and Manly are my top gamer channels to watch. I don't bother with anyone else except you three (which grants a great variety of entertainment and genres, and the enjoyment of sometimes watching all 3 react so differently to the same games), so it's always super cute when one of you three calls out another. The support and kindness among you all is so lovely and heartwarming and why you're my favorites.
Aside from the usual that I enjoy such as Gab, MBH, CJU, I also like qrow and flamez plays (very small channel atm) if you're looking for very small indie games that practically no one else has played, some of which are actually terribly made. I used to follow a few other American lets players but they become so boring and the snarkiness becomes very old.
I have a super sad theory about the lore of this game. So I bet Salo had been admitted to a psychiatric institution, possibly for a long time (he could also have been a recently discharged service member which makes this even worse), Dan knew him and hired him even as his company was going bankrupt because he couldn’t afford to pay the severance for the remaining staff. Dan maybe hoped Salo would become aggressive and staff would quit, therefore meaning he didn’t have to pay them. However it went completely off the rails. The meds you take during the game could be the when required medication for psychosis or ptsd. I could be completely wrong but that’s my bet.
I thought maybe Dan even pushed the player over the edge to get him to kill certain people? I mean, he kills a lot of the specifically tenured people and all while Dan is away on vacation 🤷🏻
I have to take this one in small doses, the headache effect is threatening to give me a headache, and then the flashing lights and the fire alarm started to push me over the edge. :(
Yeah I think there should be accessibility settings to decrease and/or turn off the effects because even though I don't get migraines they made my head feel so fuzzy
@@magentafox1657 luckily it didn't set off a migraine, because I would definitely not be coming back to it if it did. The occular aura effect was pretty impressive, idk if the dev gets migraines or just light sensitive headaches, but I was like "damn, this is too familiar" when it first happened in the game I was like "Is the horror that you would be desperately looking for a mad killer to put you out of this misery? Because I feel that in my soul, brother."
Stressful Noises: The Game™ Giggles and guffaws aside, this actually wasn't too shabby for one of those "walk around until stuff happens" style of indie horror titles :3 Quite a number of the scares got me good.
So if we didn't choose hell in the first place, why does whoever is speaking at the end think that if they ERASE OUR MEMORIES that we'd choose it the next time? If Salo just forgets every damn loop then they're never going to learn or change, it's just literally going to be an endless loop. It doesn't make any sense when people do this kind of story.
Honestly I feel like the devs set up the story for malo to be framed and Dan really killed everyone or even malo killed them under hypnosis by Dan or something but the last second the devs scrapped it
Don’t know why but I don’t feel comftable working or just passing by block offices, they’re so stressful and full of fears. Also Pls Gab, take a peek at the Bathhouse remake, I’ve seen it has cool new content and is a game worth revisiting. Good video 🤍🤍🤍💚
I sound like a broken record but I really wish a lot of indie games didn’t use AI voice acting 🥺 I understand why they do it but still. I’d rather there was NO voice acting than AI 🥲
The voices were really off putting and unnatural sounding. I couldn't even tell if it was supposed to be a radio news bulletin or a narrator because the way it was wriitten and delivered sounded nothing like either
I don't mind it so much when it's supposed to sound scary and unnatural since that's the main quality it has. It's worse when it's supposed to be a regular person
yeah it sucks, I lose respect for people when they use generative AI you don't need voice acting for your game to succeed just look at Mouthwashing or Chilla's art
I very rarely comment on. RUclips, but it was such a surprise hearing you rely on CJU for your indie horror games. Something that i like about him is he gives every game a fair try, regardless of graphics, bugs, proofing errors, derivative plot, etc. These games are generally made by one person just starting out, or just as a hobby, and his attitude respects that (hence going to the trouble of the secret ending). It must also be a huge boost to the developers to hear him provide the game blurb in first person "this time I'll be playing Observation Duty 36, in the role of Gab Smoulders, anomaly hunter." However, when he does get a real shocker of a game he does not hold back, and it's just all the more entertaining for it! I think a lot of us would love to see a collaboration between you two! (if you've done one recently I've missed it!)
I thought the style of the game looked similar, this is the same developer as Suite 776 and A Girls Fabric Face! He has many more games, wonder if they're all as good. They tend to have multiple endings too
Hi Gab, two weeks ago I accidentally went viral on Tumblr with a screenshot of you playing the cabin factory in the background of a post about RUclips's war with adblockers 😅 it ended up with about 70,000 interactions and a LOT of the comments were people excited to see you on a post and/or promoting your content to their own audiences, even though the post wasn't even about you haha! I am dreadfully curious if you got a random spike of subscribers around that time. If you did and were wondering why, well, that's why 😂
CJU shoutout! He's the only gamer youtuber that I watch everyday (sorry Gab). He always knows what to do too and reads everything so watching him is not frustrating.
This game only just camr out? Are yoj sure? There was a nearly identical game like 10 years ago, balloons and all Its driving me nuts trying to remember the name
Hi Gab!! I don't know if you take game suggestions, but if you want some more office indie horror I suggest Yuppie Psycho, it's one of my favorite games and I'm pretty sure it's right up your alley too (has some puzzles and great humor that i'm sure you'll enjoy c:)
I thought it'd be nice to relax and watch a bit of this playthrough while drinking my coffee... in bed. 9:34 decided to jumpscare the shit out of me and now I'm cleaning up spilled coffee instead of relaxing. 😠 Edited to add- As someone who also suffers from chronic migraines I know there is atleast one medication that you can take again 2 hours after the first pill if you don't experience any relief. Maybe 5 minutes in the game is equal to 2 hours in real life.😉
Gab please play Signalis it is a delightful indie horror game inspired by the first 4 silent hills and Resident Evil 1 remake. It came out in 2022 but i was recently gifted it for my birthday and it is amazing. Its a shame that its so underrated
Hey Ms. Gab. Steelkrill made an interesting game 'Backrooms 1998' that was great fun to watch Seán play a while back. I'm aware your backlog is immense, but I thought it may be an interesting one for you as well.
has anyone noticed on one of the boards there was a calendar for the year 2022? do you think thats how long the main character was stuck in the office? 16 years?
Haha, thanks for the shoutout :D
@@CJUGames u da man CJ.
I love CJUGames!!!
Heeeey, Chris! He's like a young British Sean Astin with a voice like butter!
Collab video of CJU and Gab please? 🙏🏻
CJU mentioned!! Raaahhhh

9:33 can confirm that my soul absolutely yeeted itself from my body, good lord
Same! I haven’t been scared like that in so long😭
Same I was like omg we have not gotten a soul leaving body scream from gab in a while
I'm slightly disappointed that you're not actually a balloon in this game.
12:29 lol the gasp and the casual sip of coffee was perfect. I know a true crime lover when I see one.
It’s so funny that she watches CJU! I love when RUclipsrs watch other RUclipsrs and promote their channels, it fosters that sense of community that is found nowhere else ❤❤❤
100% agreed! Love watching these two, they're both such awesome letsplayers.
CJU is the best!
That really tickled me as well. I very rarely comment on RUclips but I loved this 🥰

Love watching both Gab and CJU, didn't expect her mentioning CJU in one of the previous videos.
Ah, a classic "You're the killer hallucinating a hellscape built out of their guilt" simulator. It's every indie dev's favorite horror genre
such a tired trope 😢
Lol, that's why I appreciated that one she played (can't think of the name) where you go through it thinking you're in a guilt illusion because you're a carnie who killed your acrobat wife and daughter but then you find out you're a test subject in a weird social experiment and the hallucinations were actors and sets and you have no wife or child
More like the classic nonsense game that you have to play twice for the "proper ending " which happens to push you past steams 2 hour refund policy
@@Queenpoisonquinn yeah im so sick of the copy and paste, indie devs. most of their games are so lazy and uninspired.
Honestly they didn't even get that aspect right. Protag felt so confused and removed from the whole situation I was with Gab all the way up to the end that he didn't actually do it. At least with other ones they actually seemed guilty.
I sat down in bed with a freshly made cup of tea, saw you were playing a horror and jokingly thought "I hope I don't get startled by any jump scares and spill it all over myself." Well that's exactly what happened, all over my new bed sheets lol
You spoke it into existence 😂😂
9:33 I haven't seen Gab this scared in a long time 😂😂
I choked on boba when that jumpscare happened.
FML
That one even got me and I barely react to jump scares
So Dan hired the player assuming he’d snap and kill his employees so he didn’t have to pay severance packages.
yaay demonizing mental illness **sarcasm**
And the award for the most nauseating sounds goes to….
Night at the office !!!!
Cool game but damn I have a headache now
Literally was cringing pretty much the whole time 😂
9:33 Damn I got jumpscared by Gab's scream and not by the doll lol
Yay! My favorite gab horror videos are the 1ish hour or longer vids with just Gab and no group of people. Its really cozy and I can really get into it.
Chair: Moves on its own
Me: 😬
Gab: "Oh, hi chair!" ☺
That doll, gave me a fright, I can't believe that not even one second of opening RUclips I saw this video, it's like RUclips knows your my top RUclipsr to watch rn, love the game Gab, love it!
I really thought Dan was killing people and framing Salo to get out of paying the severances or something, possibly planning to take advantage of his medication or history or whatever to frame him but then Salo ended up dying anyway. Neat little bow. Dan survives, can maybe pay of his debts (monetary, not ethical) and move on.
for real. felt very strange, and definitely like Salo was a fall guy, especially with how friendly he seemed and how much motive Dan had? it was definitely A Choice for the game to be like "nah (: you were the bad man all along. Atone."
Love the CJU call out! Gab: you, CJU, and Manly are my top gamer channels to watch. I don't bother with anyone else except you three (which grants a great variety of entertainment and genres, and the enjoyment of sometimes watching all 3 react so differently to the same games), so it's always super cute when one of you three calls out another.

i watch her and fisk and fooster and floppysword and cjugames and hollow and of course jackcepticeye hayden
Aside from the usual that I enjoy such as Gab, MBH, CJU, I also like qrow and flamez plays (very small channel atm) if you're looking for very small indie games that practically no one else has played, some of which are actually terribly made.
I used to follow a few other American lets players but they become so boring and the snarkiness becomes very old.
Hollow is also a really good indie horror RUclipsr! its hilarious when he gets scared 😂. I'm gonna check out cjugames since I haven't heard of him yet
I have a super sad theory about the lore of this game.

Wait I thought this said it was in 2006 at the start- at 6:20 there’s a 2022 calendar!
Came to see if someone else noticed it haha
Same
being a sentient balloon would be interesting
excel spreadsheet got to be the scariest thing in this game
9:33 That was a proper scream Gab! hahaha ❤
My theory was the person you're playing as is the killer, slowly losing his mind and has to take the pills. such an interesting playthrough!
I have no idea how to reach out to Gab, but I have a serious game recommendation that I'd love to see her play. I think she'd really enjoy it!
CJU shoutout! He's the only gamer youtuber that I watch everyday (sorry Gab). He always knows what to do too and reads everything so watching him is not frustrating.
"Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to be a green balloon floating around in an office?" N-no. I...what?
Did anyone else notice that the calendar says 2022 when it’s supposed to be 2006? 6:20
Finally, a new Gab video to watch in this cozy weather ❤
I would absolutely love to watch Enigma of Fear gameplay from you. Really cute graphics along with a great mystery!
Haha I love watching Gab play horror games. It’s like having an emotional support buddy as we go through it 😂
9:34 Been a while since a jumpscare actually got me, i feel like i got rebooted.
41:02 "What is that sound?" Cut to: Ad. Very sneaky!
If the dev is reading this at all my colourblindness could not tell the difference between the yellow and green balloons 😭
9:33 that got me good 😭
I saw Chris play this. It's a great game. Thanks Gab💜
9:38 smacked my head against the wall I was busy trying to read and got jumpscared the life out of me
wow this game is just a headache, also i can't get "IT" out of my head with all these balloons.
That's crazy. Just watched CJU's "Helldiver" video. Clicked on this video next and you're talking about him lol. Love you both equally. 🥰
6:40 I don't think a buffer on carpet would be effective 😂

Its driving me nuts trying to remember the name
One Late Night, I believe
0:14 you like rain and thunder, too? Yus!!! 🌩
It reminds me 2 games the 1st is with a Japanese night guard (night shift)and the 2nd is "is Simon there?"

I always think about being a balloon!!!! But usually pink.
instant click because the vibes kind of gave me similar to One Late Night which is a nostalgic fav - pretty cool game!
Gab + indie horror + night at the office = cozy vibes😌☕️
❤ the fact that you watch CJU gabs 😊 he's one of my fav RUclipsrs too
Oh, dude! That VO in the very beginning was the same one you hear 👂 on the radio 📻 in PT!
It's funny that office environments are so creepy to begin with that they make the perfect horror setting lol
Followed CJU because of your previous shoutout with Sean. Can't wait to go on a CJU bender haha.
Gab !!! please play MiSide !!!!! it’s such a cool/weird horror game and i’m too scared to play it on my own lol
That is how i feel with all horror game, i keep hoping Gab plays it because I can’t 😂
@@KiddyValentine same lol i love horror games but like cannot do it
9:42 the baby killed me my phobia
I can't say I'm surprised you watch CJU. The best with the best

Gods this game is an audio & visual sensitive's worst nightmare
18:20 scared the shiiiet out of my dog 😂😂😂
watching this while working on an excel sheet at the office lmao
“Murder!” *casually sips tea*
i watch CJ religiously now because of u Gab...
I always enjoy your work videos and content,I love indie and stardew also other is awesome and amazing;Keep up awesome and amazing job Gab 👍
Seems like a pretty standard office to me.
Is this a game about TBI and CTE? The notes at the bottom of the inventory are interesting
This is random, but i love you, Gab. Your gameplays are a source of comfort in my daily life. Thanks for everything 😌
This is the moment that Gabsmolders became the bay harbour night shift worker
i love your gameplay! you are my fav youtuber ever!
6:17 that's a BUFFER? What the hell is it doing on carpet??
Yeeeeeeesh cozy times with dinner and gabs
Kind of reminds me of One Late Night just way more complex lol
The lil random clicking and static is exactly what my security cameras do every time something paranormal comes around 😭 nice touch
I'm here do early, feels like a movie pre-showing 🍿
Hey Ms. Gab. Steelkrill made an interesting game 'Backrooms 1998' that was great fun to watch Seán play a while back. I'm aware your backlog is immense, but I thought it may be an interesting one for you as well.
Anyone else noticed that when the voice is talking at 48:00 onwards it is just the words backwards?
5:18 “That’s what she said.”
Reference to the office :v
@jeancarlojavierbrainrios2198 it felt appropriate
I didn't want to make that joke but... yeah 😂
4:59 Hello equate brand of ibuprofen label
I know the game calls her Sherry, but the employee list absolutely says Sherryl.
glad someone else saw this
Yesss another Gab upload
the knives were there you were just panicking hhh
This is giving me PT vibes but in an office
has anyone noticed on one of the boards there was a calendar for the year 2022? do you think thats how long the main character was stuck in the office? 16 years?
the chair following her reminds me of the Rolling Giant LOL
