I think you might have missed the story of this game, it seems from the notes you drowned and died and the marsh was limbo, some people find their way out, others don’t and stay stuck in limbo, but you make it out to join your place in the stars forever. It’s really a melancholy tale with somewhat of a happy ending depending on how you look at it.
I guess the main character is a kid in this game? Based on his or her size and height at the end (plus catching and collecting bugs is a childhood sort of leisure activity)
This game reminds me of some happy memories of my childhood. When i was kid, every year during school holiday I would go back to village to live with my grandparents. In Chinese village, at summer night we can always hear very loud swamp sound, frog sound. I slept while listening to those sound, they are loud sound, but they are very lovely and very calming. I had a very hard childhood, lots horrible things happened in my childhood, but the memory of sleeping while listening to frog sound is very beautiful and very sweet.
I love that the bugs are talking about each other, having some sort of connection together. Like the Cricket trying to decipher the love letter that the Monarch dropped near him!
I'm about 15 mins into this one so far, and I have literally no idea what is going on at all. Gab is saying, "So Cuuuute" a lot, mixed with slightly psychotic glee at pouncing on unsuspecting bugs. And the world looks vewy pwetty, and the sounds and colours are relaxing. But no idea at all, still. This is the happiest I have been in ages. I think I'll just stick around a while and listen to her mumble the same things that are mostly going on in my own mind. Only she has a far cuter voice. And maybe it'll make sense at some point. Or not; don't care. This will probably still be playing when I fall asleep. I might miss the end. But that's not because it's lacking in something. Like excitement or entertainment or whatever. It's the opposite. It's because it _has_ something. Calm. Friendly, positive, cuuute calm.
Toad: Lurks in unusual places. Yeah. I found one in my washing machine once, after washing my clothes. I think he was fine. He jumped onto the wall and slid off before finding his way back outside.
@@discordiacreates6669 That's what I dreaded, but several people convinced me he could survive it. I use only cold delicate cycle with a small amount of soapnuts (reetha), it's the quickest wash cycle with the biggest rinse. He was also gigantic and possibly an invasive species. 🤷♀ Wish I could know for sure, either way, I'd just like that knowledge.
@@Ajlez ah, well idk about the kind of soap you used but if it was little and washed off quickly, they might've just been sick for a while. They can absorb moisture through their skin though to avoid needing to ever drink in the traditional sense so that's why pretty much all chemical based products are pretty bad for them. Whether or not it was invasive though... Can't help much with that, if you had a picture or a really good description the list could be narrowed down, but hopefully you just have one or two bigger native species (I've seen bull toads get massive with enough nutrients) and hopefully they are fine either way. They were well enough to run so I'll hope as well
I have a pet chameleon and she is a master at catching bugs!! This looks like one of those relaxing stress reducing background games, can't wait to come back and watch it through! 😊
Holy cow! I remember playing this game a few months back and thinking this was a total Gab Game. I absolutely adore games with journal logging for different species and stuff along those lines and this just checked all the cozy boxes for me. So glad you’re playing it!
This game was so cute in so many ways, I didn't know anything about it before watching this video. And I was pleasantly surprised by how thoughtful and cute the game was. So many little details and tid bits of fun and information. I enjoy the variety in your game play
Very cute game. I really enjoyed dragonfly, tadpole, bee, and moth. Not sure why firefly considers the spider to be polite. Although, it bugs me (pun intended) that you catch amphibians in a bug catching game.
Oh, this game looks interesting! (I normally used to get up around 11AM to watch Gab's new video, but I've been waking up 1:30PM in the afternoon...) Game recommendation: Lil' Gator (I think it's made by the same people that "A Short Hike") The Snail: _"Momento Mori"_
Ah, bug catching. I used to carry rolly poly's in my pockets as a kid, take them out and roll them across the floor like mini marbles. I'd release them outside at night. I never killed any, but I must have traumatized them, so..... Sorry bugs!
Sad but beautiful game, also, I'm french, and I can tell that your french accent is really good. You speak french very well for someone who has just heard it sometimes, congrats ! I wanted to ask you if you could play the game called ColdSide, it's a really good and atmospheric horror game inspired by the universe of the SCP Foundation. The sountrack has also been made by the same person who has done the soundtrack for the game Soma, so, it's not nothing. ColdSide has 4 different endings depending on your choices in the game, I hope you'll see my comment and play the game ! Thank you for reading and thanks for all the awesome job you're doing for us, it's a real pleasure !
Gab i love watching you its so relaxing and i have a recommendation, I would love for you to play slime rancher 2. I rewatch your playthtough of slime rancher all the time and wish i could watch you play the second one pretty pretty please!
Was the "Hey Annette!!" in reference to The Princess Bride "Hey Abbot!" where he whispers "I hate that guy" after because if so can we be friends? Hahah
Hi gab if you love this game I think you'd like beasts of maravilla island. You play as a photographer in magical hidden jungles in maravilla island. It's really cute about an hour long. And there's toem it's really cute I don't wanna spoil that one but give it a look! If you record it or not I don't mind I just think you'd enjoy it
I think this is so cute but also I wish they told you the species name in lay terms or used the genus names instead of species names. because the latin name they give isnt like any cricket or bee etc its a specific species of that insect but if they gave the genus name that would be all of that insect type (nit picky i know but i feel like its misleading)
I wasn't fully paying attention but was listening to what all the constellations were saying. And it kinda sounds like your character has died and is seeking peace before moving on.
I think you were meant to talk to each star as you got them. It might have made it more immersive. But the game maybe could have set it up better so that you were more aware of that mechanic.
Thank you so much for playing my little game! 💗
Can't wait for the upcoming content update 👀
It’s so cute 🥰 you did an amazing job
Whys your game so cuteee
your game is beautiful ❤
Such an adorable thing! Love it.

Dang, I don't think I would have picked up on that...
@@Tazerboy_10 really? It's pretty much spelt out for you though 😅
But that’s just a theory…
I guess the main character is a kid in this game? Based on his or her size and height at the end (plus catching and collecting bugs is a childhood sort of leisure activity)
@@sophisticatedchaosgb A GAME THEORY 🟩 🏆 ⬛️
Poor cricket. His conspiracy was right. 5 stars were missing for the net at the end. And the blackmail.... the upside down skeleton nose 🖤
Gab: “A net?”
Me, Annette: wha?
Oh, not me, an actual net 🤣
lol i think the frog would've appreciated that joke
lol 😅
I was not expecting this game to become an allegory for death, but it did it in such a charming way. Amazing 😊
8:02 Oh, look, it's Blathers from Animal Crossing, and he's in his own personal hell, surrounded by "wretched things"
This is giving me Animal Crossing vibes.
Welp, I'm crying at that ending. Not with sadness really. My soul could just use a celestial bench
I hear that 😔😴
Same. As long as I’m not alone 🥺✨
This made me feel better. Depression is hitting kinda hard right now, this is helping me get through the night
🤗

Yelling at my screen: collect multiple of the bugs!
SAME i couldnt stop saying this
SAME I was like GIRL! I love you but PLEASE REALISE YOU HAVE TO COLLECT MULTIPLE BUGS OF THE SAME, NOT DIFFERENT SPECIES!!!
Me when she realizes: FINALLY!
@@tatianamolina5706 Yes.
sameeee
1:06:15
wow such nice french skills! as a french, I'm flabbergasted! even "merveilleux", you pronouced it well on the second try!

@@Sh1roNekoshi I like your way of commenting, lol.
Looking forward to a nature themed collection game! Cottagecore and hoarder instincts = satisfied!
The subtle Wilhelm scream at like 1:13:41 got me good 😆
Toad: Lurks in unusual places.
Yeah. I found one in my washing machine once, after washing my clothes. I think he was fine. He jumped onto the wall and slid off before finding his way back outside.
Atleast he was clean?
Soap is... Toxic to them. Rip little guy

@@discordiacreates6669 I can't remember the finer details to add more to this, but just wanted to say I appreciate what you've shared, thanks!
I think it would be terrifying to watch her hunt bugs IRL
I've caught bugs in real life... she had the correct method lol!
I have a pet chameleon and she is a master at catching bugs!! This looks like one of those relaxing stress reducing background games, can't wait to come back and watch it through! 😊

I adore naturey games!!! As a natural scientist I love when there are field notebooks and exploring and collecting in a game.
Ahh “It Follows”… the movie didn’t scare me when I watched it initially, but over a year later it keeps me up at night on occasion lol.
Didn’t expect a game about bugs to get so existential!
Very cute game. I really enjoyed dragonfly, tadpole, bee, and moth. Not sure why firefly considers the spider to be polite. Although, it bugs me (pun intended) that you catch amphibians in a bug catching game.
This was a really sweet and chill playthrough, it was awesome. Seems like a charming game

The Snail: _"Momento Mori"_
I saw lil gator's trailer with a friend yesterday and it totally reminded me to that penguin game but I couldn't recall what its name was
The sounds the bugs make when they were talking as constellations sound like the robots in stray!
Ah, bug catching. I used to carry rolly poly's in my pockets as a kid, take them out and roll them across the floor like mini marbles. I'd release them outside at night. I never killed any, but I must have traumatized them, so..... Sorry bugs!
This game is so relaxing and beautiful! Love the art style❤Thank u Gab for playing this
this gives me bugsnax vibes!! if you haven’t played it you definitely should 🥰
Sad but beautiful game, also, I'm french, and I can tell that your french accent is really good.

Please play Spiritfarer, similar vibes but with a bit more going on! Absolutely stunning game, since you liked this you will love Spiritfarer
I'm so sad that Gab is such an avid reader but isn't reading the description paragraph about the insects that she's catching😭
You can see she's not feeling well so we must understand uwu
@@alliah2764 ya surely no hate, hoping both of them get well soon
yeah she was having brain fog from c0vid
she's better now though, i think this was from last week or something.
This is on my ‘possible to playlist’, thank you for playing it so I can get perspective on it
wow as a french your accent is very good :O even when you're guessing!
looking forward to seeing you play more short games! i love these types of videos as well as the videos that turn into a series!
I loveddd this I wish it was much longer, this game has so much potential !!!
this is very random but i love the sounds in this game
fr the sound design in this game is very satisfying
The animation/game design is reminding me of BEFORE YOUR EYES, and i already loving it.
Happy wishes
Compliment of the Season 🎄🌲🌲
Massage me right away I've got something for you 🎁🎉🎊...
Love the Yoshi's Island reference (touch fuzzy get dizzy)!
Would love to see a Hyper Light Drifter playthrough!! Always a fan of the cozy content, keep it up :)
This completely gives Elysian Fields vibes
41:53 that WAZAAA brought me back to the phasmo days with da boiz HAHAHAHA
This was such a lovely and enjoyable journey with you
I saw a frog in the thumbnail and that gab posted it and didn’t even hesitate to click on the video
As a native French speaker, you guessed the French words absolutely perfectly. Like I'm in awe, your pronunciation is 🔥
"BY THE TORCHES OF HECATE"
🤣 Yep, dragonflies my favorite.
It's gonna be a good day at work! Thank you for the video💙
This game is GORGEOUS. Wow.
Oooh that's seems like an awesome video to watch when I get home from my musical theory exam 🤗
You show those triplets who’s boss!!
@@Ragnar_Aevarsson I showed them I studied well 😂💪🏻
So cute! love the frogs the most! Please try out the game spiritfarer! I feel like you'd really like it - its another cozy game.
1:57 the fact that this plays the right note
Gab i love watching you its so relaxing and i have a recommendation, I would love for you to play slime rancher 2. I rewatch your playthtough of slime rancher all the time and wish i could watch you play the second one pretty pretty please!

Men in Tights actually!
@@GabSmolders OOOH That's what it was. I guess I only remembered it was a Cary Elwes movie XD
Gab if you really liked this you have to play Spirit-fairer! Similar vibes very very good game!
This! I just bought it the other day and I'm in love with it!!!! I think Gab would like it too!

Chill tadpole & pessimism snail are great!
This video felt relaxing and homely. Great video. 👍
Beetle be angy boi 🤣 and of course they have a god complex 🤣 loved this game
This game would be absolutely insane in vr

Absolutely love the Bo Burnham reference like 53 minutes and change
loved watching this game!!!
this is sooooo relaxing ~
I hear as much audio as I have purposes in my life
First impressions = POV: what your ooblet character sees minus the ooblets. The graphics are very similar.
Omg, I'm a few minutes in and I love ur voices already, Gab 😁
👍👍👍👍
I think this is so cute but also I wish they told you the species name in lay terms or used the genus names instead of species names. because the latin name they give isnt like any cricket or bee etc its a specific species of that insect but if they gave the genus name that would be all of that insect type (nit picky i know but i feel like its misleading)
Games like this make me happy ^_^ Reminds me of Proteus
Dis is a total Gabz gang type of game!!! Yayyy 😊🥰❤️
You should play this game called Mutazione! It’s a beautiful story game with musical gardens and it’s amazing!
This game would be perfect if it weren’t for the goddamn spiders! My Arachnophobia is getting worse!
😭😭😭😭
Dragonfly's voice reminds me of the robots in Stray
Snail is mood.
What a cute game! 😊❤️🐞
This is so cute!
No; It's "Sooo CuuuuuUte!!!"
I wasn't fully paying attention but was listening to what all the constellations were saying. And it kinda sounds like your character has died and is seeking peace before moving on.
Love your glasses.
Spider confirms that all spiders are French. Muffet reinforces this fact.
Netjes 👏🏻
You should play Cult Of The Lamb I think you would love it
By the Forge's Flame! you play as a sentient bug net?!
I think you were meant to talk to each star as you got them. It might have made it more immersive. But the game maybe could have set it up better so that you were more aware of that mechanic.
Is Gab going to go back to Plague Tale: a Requiem? Its such a good series
ok, if she and jack get married, they have to yell "LIKE A BOSS" at the wedding
Wonderful
the tadpoles are more like chadpoles
I have never been to a video so early
literally 25 seconds ago
oh sick, gab killed radahn at the beginning of the game
Gab time
I really hope you play Bugsnax some day
omg u singing bo burnham
Didn't know Snails were such downers 😂🤣😂🤣
The game is nice but it's full of bugs
Touch fuzzy get dizzy 😋
Moth Jon moth Jon moth Jon moth Jon
Is this a minecraft?
(Dunno why, but I'm getting 2D minecraft vibes looking at this game)
Hey is the give away gab doing a real thing?
No, its a bot or fraud. Report or ignore it. It happens to all content creators I follow - so annoying.
@@sekijawi oh thank you! Yeah I felt like it was.
Has Gab played HyperLightDrifter on a stream?
