This game is so gorgeous - the fact that the model name of each item is included means the devs definitely took apart/owned each item and referenced them in creating this game...I honestly couldn't imagine a better person to play this game but Gab ❤️

As someone who restores retro gaming handhelds, this game is so adorable. I hope it inspires more people to learn how to tinker and repair their belongings ❤️

I don't know why or how but when the father started singing the song with the music box it made me go from fine to crying in like two seconds. That voice actor knew what he was doing

Hey Gabs Wanted to tell you that the last few weeks I've been watching after my work. Don't take this the wrong way but I always put it on and then get all chill and comfy and take a nap haha. I wake up and look for where I dozed off and then replay. Love your channel, and I love your vibe. I hope you have a nice weekend!

When Joseph started singing the lullaby I lost it. I lost my dad last year, and hearing him sing like that made all the memories come back

Nah this had me tearing up for real, the pictures spoke to my artist heart and this was so relaxing!! Loved this!

I love that you play games like this, as well as my favorite horror games. Your vibe is just so calming and kind - your channel is a wonderful escape. At 57 I'm not your typical demographic - but I've enjoyed your channel for years Cheers!!

This is some really good voice acting from an indie dev. Also, loving the chill games and variety just as much as ones like Phasmo or Forewarned Edit, I also love how this is all about repairing your stuff instead of the modern consumer attitude companies have of making repairs impossible so we have to buy new stuff instead.

I interned on this game! This is so cool to see!! First time seeing a streamer play a game I'm credited in, the team did such an incredible job ❤️

all these stories hit a lil close to home, so i definitely spent a few tears on this one! other than that it was a amazingly beautiful and relaxing game, and the voice acting was so good as well. i loved the music too, it was just a cozy relaxing time - just what i needed after a hectic few weeks in my life 💕

I was feeling very tense, so I watched this while drawing random doodles. This game drew me in with how pretty, calm and neat it was. Even tho I can tell the 3D aspect of it was a tad frustrating, the story, aesthetic, & puzzles were awesome! What a fun unique game :)

When the Dad started singing along to the music box, wow. My heart is full

This game was wayyyy more serious than I thought it was going to be. Really made me think about my parents. I gave them a call literally the same day and we talked for like an hour straight. It was nice to catch up other than just a text.

Gab’s outfit is sending me to another dimension. I love love love it. I need to know where her shirt is from.

Just as soon as I saw the title, I audibly exclaimed "YES!". Gonna go get my tea and snacks ready for a chill hour and a half with Gab!

I started tearing up right at the end of the game. That "Maria? Is that you?" and then credits roll just really hit. Like Evelien said: goosebumps. This game is so simple but so gorgeous and the creators are so amazing at writing short stories! I'm in love with it

I will say, the "it sucks when people you think are friends only contact you when they need something" literally my entire life, it would be nice to have someone just ask how Im doing or want to play games with me. ahh well. But in happier news! this was a lovely game! think I might grab it for myself to play to chill out

That was so chill and wonderful. The aesthetic made me so happy even after I was getting teary at the story. Seriously, I didn't ask for these all these feelings this early in the afternoon! LOL!

I'm so grateful for KZfaq recommending the older gab smolders videos. I'd have never found this otherwise because I wasn't looking but this gem of a video made my day. Thank you for another comfy cozy tranquilizing video in an otherwise chaotic life. God bless you!❤❤❤

The music box level reminded me of when I found this old broken music box. I tinkered with it for ages but couldn’t figure out how to properly fix it. I don’t think I had all the right parts considering it’s probably older then I am. I would move the cylinder thingy with my hand to listen to it. I wish I had brought it with me when I moved. This game hit a little close to home too. I went no contact with my father a year ago and now he’s divorced my stepmom and is dating an old family friend. He seems just as stuck in his ways as when I left. I wish things were solved as easily as they are in games…

“It’s okay, some people are just little hurricanes ❤️” - Gab Smolders as a person with ADHD that definitely feels like a little hurricane I really appreciated this quote xx

Holy cow, I remember doing that several times with cassettes and a pencil with a rubber eraser on top. I'd position that eraser just so in one of the holes on the cassette and turn it to wind the tape back up. Worked every single time! Good memory. 👍🏻😊 Analog rocks (or rocked). Game's got great voice acting and a good storyline so far.

She is the friend that everyone wants because she's so chill and a delight to listen to! I always look forward to watching your videos! I'm on holiday right now and it's my routine to watch before bed and you betcha I'm keeping up with that routine! Also I love that light cardi! So colourful

The music in this game is so emotional and pretty, I got a bit teary eyed! Along with the beautiful aesthetics and the fun puzzle and your lovely commentary, this was such a comforting game and lets play. Thank you!

Oh my god, Gab. I was here for a relaxing puzzle game but i’m here with my heart getting poked. THIS IS SOO EMOTIONAL!! Love your game choices.

So happy I came across your channel. Your aura is so calming. Even during one of the chapters where the character said that they’re usually more busy (at the restaurant), and you kindly said “I’m not judging”. Definitely all the comfy and cozy vibes seeing you navigate through this game

Well that was precious. I almost cried at times...there were some sweet soft spots hidden in here. Loved the game. Thank you for sharing with us 💓

For anyone wondering, the song that plays on the record player in chapter 11 is - Gloria Please by Gloria Tells

Ah yes another relaxing game to watch. I’ve been going through a lot lately and this is just what I needed. 🥺

I love the over arcing story so far. If I were a business owner, I would never have a flashing sign just because it could cause people with epilepsy seizures. It's irresponsible. It's just not thinking about others and you could end up getting sued all for a "look at this sign, come into my cafe/video game place/bar" gimmick. Also, I wanted to add that because Gab plays such wildly different ends of the spectrum for content is exactly the reason why I've followed her for 3 and a half years exactly this month. She's a chill person even if it's horror games and she gives off best friend vibes.

If anyone was wondering about the song playing on the record player it's called "Gloria Please" by Gloria Tells

the voice acting in this game is fantastic, it sounds so natural and all the voices are so lovely and calming. i love it

"it's okay dude, some people are just little hurricanes" was a lot more touching than it was probably intended to be. damn near cried hearing that. thank you :')

Jesus Christ, I teared up so many times during this game, thank you for playing it Gab :‘)

Ah, I could say this is the first relaxing game I ever played and got hooked to these type of genres. I really thank you for playing unpacking which it leads me towards that game as well. Love it so much.

You've been doing so many chill games lately and it's my favorite thing to watch while working and organizing myself ❤️❤️

I don't know if you'll understand what I mean, but I wanted to tell you what an inspiration you are to me. You play what you want, when you want, on your channel and you have the most loyal of followers. Indie games? Yep! Cosy games? Yep! Blockbuster games? Yep! I honestly love the diversity here. There's really something for everyone... it really gives me the courage and push I need to know that it's okay to do the things you want to do. You're amaIng. Thank you 💜

I love your calmer videos so much and they are the only things that I can fall asleep to. I have an insomnia problem and even white noise doesn’t work but somehow your videos always do so thank you. :)

As you were playing I just had one of those moments when you realize time is finite and asks "how long do I still have to spend with my dad?" And of course, I know that's something no one has the answer for, but I bursted out crying, which was good for I had a lot to pour out from a stressful week. Gorgeous storytelling, it really made me feel things and treasure more the time we have with our loved ones

I’ve been feeling down today but a chill video with Gab makes everything better. I didn’t even realise it had been over an hour when it was done. Thank you Gab.

This was a super nice, relaxing way of spending a saturday evening while planning some D&D stuff on the side. Thank you Gab!

I knew I recognized this game so I assumed you had played it before. Little did I know it was actually the fact I had played it myself on my iPad years ago. Such a cozy game that as soon as I saw the art I remembered everything. Thank you, Gab, for this amazing flashback ♥️

The only videos that can put me to sleep feeling cozy and relaxed. Almost as if i can’t wait to go and watch/ listen to them. Appreciate it so much ❤

The colours the voices the scenery the commentary everything it makes me feel so nice

7:22 When I was little I used to rewind my grandpa's cassette tapes with my pinky finger because his fingers were too big. He could've used the tool that came with the tape, but he liked involving me in his work.

ooh I'm loving this comfy games series ❤️ I just binge watched the last few uploads the other day and it was so nice and relaxing, especially the chat/stories while lawn mowing. I'll have to watch this one later but the art style looks great

Ahhhh yes the Ood! I knew I recognised the voice, love Doctor Who

I’m newer to watching your videos but I absolutely love all the chill games! Even though you do a lot more intense games I tend not to do as well with them. But I love hearing you talk and explore games so thank you for these long relaxed videos!

If you've played "papers please" or watched someone play it. You might recognize the passport at 2:51. It's the passport of "United Federation" from the game. Neat easter egg!

Yesterday and today were a bit difficult for me. I decided to crochet while watching your videos. I'm so glad I did. I feel so much better now. You have a calm, nice energy, Gab. I always feel better after watching the chill videos you upload. Thank you! ♡

For anyone wondering the song that plays on the record player in chapter 11 at 1:02:40 is “Gloria tells” by Gloria Please :)

Really love watching these peaceful chill puzzle games!

Another relaxing video to enjoy on my birthday, thank you Gab! 💙

Listening to this while making lunch and hearing the cicadas buzzing outside makes for a wonderful summer afternoon 💕

I love games like this. I've wishlisted most of the ones you've played on Steam and I can't wait to play them myself!

Aaahhh this game is just too beautiful!! Love the artwork, voice overs, and ofc the visual. So cozy and heartwarming.

I love how chill you are, this is the most relaxing gameplay I’ve had the pleasure of watching. Thank you for such cool content with games I’ve never heard of. ❤️

I just got sick, a calm chill video is exactly what I need, I hate feeling sick!

This video and the organization video showed up recommended for me recently. I love your videos now. You’re so calm and relaxed it’s helped with my anxiety and let’s me unwind.

1:02:39 if everyone wondering, this song is called "Gloria Please" by Gloria Tells. i've been searching this song for months after i heard it first time here, just listening to the lyrics all over again and it so goddamn hard cuz im not an english speaker but finally i found it oh God 🥲🙌

7:35 brought me back. I remember having to use a pencil to rewind my VCR tapes when the film came out. I hope the VCR makes a come back so kids can experience it.

Im so glad seeing you post! Just 2 days ago i had pulled a muscle in my stomach durring work and am slightly bedbound due to the pain it has put me in so these videos are super nice to relax to

the last item on the recipe was lots of love! my heart is wrenched

The vibes of this game are super relaxing.

I don't feel as lonely when I watch your videos!

Currently in hospital, your videos have been making me so much happier!!

Had a bad day, this sort of lowkey chill game with my fav youtuber is absolutely what I need to unwind with after my dinner!

What a beautiful & fantastic game! This is a video I’ll watch over & over. Thank you so much for uploading it ❤️

currently past 60 hours of no sleep and these videos give me life 😅 so calming

I put on the aesthetic calming videos before bed to help me sleep. Not saying they are boring the just relax me to the point I can sleep. Thank you for making these videos.♥️

This storyline is so heartwarming. And the art omg. This game has my heart

"i missed my window today, its already 6;30, no more coffee :(" shes so healthy and comforting i love her 😭😭 3am just finished laundry and made my bed thinkin about having a redbull

The music box reminds me of the one from Anastasia! What a beautiful game. Thanks for this, Gab 💜

The actress who voices Izzy is the same girl who voiced Elizebeth in Sister location. You now live with that

Yesss I love when you play aesthetically pleasing games!!

I love that it has a visual affect for those playing sound off or that are deaf

This is as relaxing as the first one I’ve watched ☺️🤍 I haven’t watched all of it but it’ll be nice to have the rest playing in the background while I do some other things

For the people who want to know what was playing on Carmen’s record player, it was “Gloria Please” by Gloria Tells =)

watching these videos is very calming. thank you for this calming content❤️

I love how casual your videos are! It’s so chill almost like your streaming because I don’t see many jump cuts and when I do they’re really nice and how you looked up what the guys name was bc one of the voices reminded you of it. I guess all I’m trying to say is that it’s really nice and homey, and I’m glad I started watching your videos!

i looovvee to play your videos with some quiet lofi music in the background, i do that while im drawing . your channel has such a cozy vibe-

I looove this game, when I finished it I was sad that it’s so short, great to see someone else play this❤️

As a fan of quietness and calmness, your channel is just perfect. Not a lot of talking or unnecessary noises. It's just right.

I played this game not a long time ago and everything in it is gorgeous. The voice acting is on point (I’ve played it in Spanish) and I actually saved the song playing as the sisters theme, and the story is so realistic and you can actually see your self in the characters. 10/10💕

i came across your channel when i was feeling really anxious, these videos are the only thing that calm me down lol. thanks. new sub here.

i love these types of games 🫶🏽 so nice to watch while falling asleep

A game about repairing things around a town shouldn't make me cry like this but here we are

I really love it when Gab plays these types of games

I played this on Apple Arcade and I LOVED it. I wish there was more but the story was just perfect as is. I'm so happy you played it! It's super cozy and heartwarming!

I wasn’t prepared to cry today ;-; what a beautiful story. Really hit me hard, since I moved halfway across the U.S. away from my family less than a year ago

I love this game! Remembered when I played it all at once from apple arcade. Not only is the puzzle fun per se, but the colors and soothing vibe are also amazing. I was like "No, this is so much fun, I want more!"

Very nice, love these really helps my anxiety especially on a Sunday night when i have to go to work in the morning.

Ooh! Love the style of this game already.

Oh I absolutely love your hair! It looks amazing and frames your face perfectly, 12/10

only the second chapter and I'm already in tears what a lovely game, so wonderful to look at

Thank you so much, I was feeling dizzy and your video help me distract myself until I felt better. Your gameplay and the game both had been very soothing 🤍 your channel seems lovely can’t wait to watch more :)

Gab is like the ultimate comfort streamer-- horror games and cozy games both make me feel like I'm in a warm blanket haha

Hey Gab, thank you so much for the chill video. It's been rough couple of days but this video has really calmed my brain down. Thank you again

Omg, when you played the organising game, I immediately thought it would be nice to see you play this one! I played it myself a little while ago, and absolutely loved it. Such a cute story, pretty art and really nice concept! Oh and the fact that you uploaded it on my birthday is definitively a plus! ^w^ Fun fact; for the neon sign, you could honestly mess around quite a bit with the wiring! Like, you could have everything blinking, or just some of them. I remember trying a lot of different combos until I found the one I liked. XD

I didn't feel very well today, I think I have got a cold.... this game was what I needed: something to drink, a good snack and calm and chill vibes
