I love how Gabs, who is basically the Queen of HOGS, is still finding these rare gems of games AND she is still fascinated by them and the mechanics they use. They never seem to get stale for her

If you want horror HOGs I totally recommend the Campfire Legends trilogy: The Hookman, The Babysitter and The Last Act. They're kinda old at this point (started in 2009 iirc) and I'll be honest it's been years since I played them so I don't know how they hold up both in comparison to newer games with better software and in regards to them being scary because I was younger back then, so more easily scared I guess, but I remember enjoying them quite a lot and finding them quite scary for HOGs, plus the art and puzzles were really nice, they did a good job with the atmosphere (and I vaguely recall the protagonist actually holding onto key items?? I could be wrong though). Also they had my mom actually interested in the story and enjoying the horror, two things she doesn't care for at all when it comes to HOGs, she likes the puzzles and that's it lol especially the latter, she hates horror of any kind, so they did something right 😅

I love how you're actually pronouncing it "hog." The spookiest, most scariest piggy around, this is.

"Hey, a net. I hate that guy." This makes me happy every single time. Great film, and the quote always makes me laugh. Thank you.

Gabs talking about books and her having really good problem solving skills I wonder if she’d be good at solving a Agatha Christie book 📚

i just got off from work and am so ready to relax!! your timing could not have been more perfect

New HOG video with Gab?! Well, that's just made my evening. Time to get cozy and do some puzzles!

Here in Newfoundland we have a settlement called Tilt Cove which holds the record for "smallest town in Canada" with a whopping 4 residents.

I'VE READ CLARIEL SO I WAS VERY EXCITED TO HEAR GAB WAS READING IT. Clariel is definitely a weird one, but I kinda love it, just because of the ending and how it sets itself up to be a reveal. Always so awesome to see other people into the Abhorsen series :)

The spike of endorphin i get when I see you play a HOG is UNREAL. Thank you 💛😭🌻🌼🌼🌼 This game was so creative! Please play the other two in the series!!

Take a shot every time gab goes "is there a morphing opject?" And then finding it immediately after lol

This was so relaxing, but also stimulates the mind as an old guy. I've got your HOG playlist saved, and you will be a pleasure to hang out with as I make my way through. Cheers

Playing a HOG myself: 🤨☹️😭 Watching Gab play a HOG: 🥳🥳🥳 Thanks for entertaining me in the most bubbly and enjoyable way Gab, you make my day so much better! Lots of love to you Sean and BB ❤️❤️❤️

I haven’t thought about Sabriel in years! I read the trilogy when I was a young teenager and loved them! Definitely gonna have to go back and re-read them 😄

1:12:24 if you wanna know about another object that’s labeled wrong, that’s an English Horn, not an Oboe

So glad I found this backlog of HOGs on your channel Gabby! Just a few minutes in and obsessed with how you react to all the funky things this one does with the inventory.

19:25 LOL your easter egg references are always the best.

This reminds me of a game I played it's called Murder In the Alps 😌it is a really good game, where u are the detective a woman (hell yes) and u try to solve murder cases that happen in the different places she travels too 😌 it also has voice acting for the characters. For me the stories are quite intriguing😊

the phantasmat games are amazingly written.. of course i'm one for mystery case files as well

There is a really good hidden objects game it’s called murder in the alps and I think you’d really like because of the story line and it’s fun. I really like it because it’s a true crime hidden object and your solving murders but I thought you would like it to.

Een boek dat ik leuk vind te lezen is elvenblauw van Johan Vandevelde met een taal gebruik voor wat groteren maar waar toch een spannend verhaal aan zit van het boek.

Awweee hell yeah new smolders video!!! Thank you for bringing such comfort and energy to your viewers lives! I’ve been on a binge of some of your series like Alice:Madness Returns and Fatal Frame (you are my first taste of Fatal Frame and I’m so excited to continue with it!) I hope you had a fun time recording this vid and a good day! 💜💜💜

"too heavy to move by hand" I thought it was a kettlebell and about to scream. I was proven wrong lol

Ahhh I love your HOG videos they are extra cozy. Also wow Gab you have become a master at these games holy!

Glad to hear you're reading the Old Kingdom! It's my all time favourite series and Sabriel is my favourite book! I do agree, Clariel is pretty different and I think it's not as good as the initial trilogy, but I think it's nice that it adds a different perspective from someone who isn't actually an Abhorsen.

If I am not mistaken Gab, that piano thing was a fancy dulcimer. It's popular instrument in the United States Mid-west in bluegrass music very pretty music and instrument but takes alot of practice.

Clariel had an ending I really appreciated that ties into other parts of the books! Goldenhand I liked, but still nothing lived up to Lirael and Abhorsen! I still need to read the newest book. Garth nix has a short stoy collection called Across the Wall that contains info for the Abhorsen series as well as his other short stories. They are very good!

it's so funny because I used to live in the city called Oakville for 4 years🤣

Perfect, I wanted something exciting yet cozy to watch while I'm backing and now I noticed this video and I'm excited to watch it

i love these videosss!!! please do moreee i’ve rewatched this like three times!

Yesss another HOG!! Your happiness for playing theses is so infectious:)

This was actually super entertaining to watch, thank you

This is a good one, but the BEST one is the very first Phantasmat in the series. None of the sequels have matched its spooky atmosphere IMO

When I was a child our dad drove us through the countrys smallest town, It used to be a big town, but shrunk over time. The first time we went through there there were only 5 houses... The last time I passed through there was as a teenager and there were only 2 houses left, but they still had the town signs... (I do believe it is gone now)

Finally!!!!!!! I’m so excited to watch this after work! And chill

don't think I've ever seen a HOG ask for a shotgun before

My favorite is always the Mystery Casefiles games! Especially Ravenherst

I swear on my life, I just watched you play this last week. Yes I binge watch your hogs lol. I'm thinking it was 3 years ago. I will 100% re-watch it though.

I think a good book for you would be The Midnight Library. It's a bout a woman who tries to die and ends up in a library where she can pick a book and redo choices in her life to see how her life might have turned out had she done things differently.

I laughed when I saw the title. Oakville is a suburb of Toronto I used to visit pretty regularly because I had some old friends there. I'm sure you find that story fascinating, but if not, I've got others. Some even more fascinating. 😁

it may not be a horror HOG, but i seriously recommend Adera. its honestly an amazing game, great graphics, wonderful puzzles, story driven, and something i think you would really enjoy

The thumbnail scared me!!! Lol

you’re literally a queen, love your content so much!!

Loved the Villain! Major IT vibes~

When I heard “population 11, can you imagine?” I started singing “JUST A SMALLTOWN GIIIIIRL”

Hey Gab! I love your content! It makes me feel all nice and warm inside 🥰

I was promised the spookiest HOG and yet I don't see a cute pig in a Michael Myers mask 😠

I'd be down to watch more phantasmat gameplay if you decide to do another one!

56:28 I thought of “Dremel (tool)” as well, but then I quickly realized that they wouldn’t use that bc it’s a brand name. It’s just a name that’s become synonymous with the product like Kleenex, Band-Aid, and the formerly trademarked Thermos. Thermos still uses their name and logo, but they lost their trademark on the name because it became the word people used for that object. I think off-brand Band-Aids will always be called “adhesive bandages,” but I really can’t think of another word for thermos

I'm just now getting into watching your hogs but I got started with Mystery Case Files and they are still my favorites.

I don't usually like hogs much, but these are pretty fun and funny. When Gab said"okay I've made a locket. We're fighting a puppet, how's that going to help? We should just bring fire!" I lost it!!!😂😂😂

Wow you totally just reminded me of the Garth Nix books, I read those many years ago! I've only read the original trilogy

love these hidden object games

Heck yeah! Just finished watching a previous Christmas hog

This made me feel so cozy 😌

Have you played the original Phantasmat Gab? It’s one of my favorite HoGs, definitely recommend it!

I just started playing Stardew because of how much fun i saw you having in your playthrough of it!

You really should play the first Phantasmat game, it's my personal favorite...SO good. It's just called Phantasmat. As of 2019 there are 13 games in the series :)

Yess the queen of HOG is back 🥳 after a really stressful day, thank you Evelyn

I was waiting for this upload! This HOG was just too much fun and so spooky. Being very cozy and watching this right now on my break.

Love the Abhorsen books!! Read them many times!

I'd love to see you play the Ravenhearst series sometime, Gabs! Weirdest and creepiest HOG games I've ever known. The first one is purely hidden object scenes whereas the others are more like the other games you've played.

omg your reading Garth NIX I love him, the audio books where Tim Curry is reading the first three are my new favorite versions.

I really liked the phantasmat series :D I got all of them from bigfish games as well as a bunch of other fun ones^^ this will be fun to watch

Super Game ! I'm an addict to Hidden Object Games. I'm gonna play it. Thanks for the recommandation.

"an earthquake, I hope she got to safety" Me: "I hope not"

I loved reading the old kingdom books :) My favorites are Sabriel and Abhorsen

Dang I remember when the first phantasmat game came out! Good times

Yay for POG!! I hope there will be a Christmas POG!

1:08:30 I don't like how they just wrapped the wires up in tape and stuffed them back in. What if two of the wires cross and the whole thing shorts out?

Oh I love Garth Nix books! I just finished reading Terciel and Elinor. The first book is still my favorite, Sabriel is the best

how cool! I played older Phantasmat games :D I love hidden Object esp Ravenhurst

Just found this channel. I love horror games. I played the phantasmat crucible peak. Its a good one.

i grew up reading anne rice, rest in peace wonderful storyteller, stephen king and agatha christie. they inspired me to become a writer because their way of storytelling is just so immersive. especially stephen king's books. they have a way of drawing me into it as if i am really there with the characters and sometimes reads as a movie. he's one i truly admire and try to emulate whenever i write.

I'm happy for the new book recommendation lol. Adding it to my wishlist for later. I've been super absorbed into The Rising of the Shield Hero light novel series.

Stephen King's "Mr. Mercedes" trilogy and "The Outsider" were such good reads, I would definitely recommend them. I would also recommend Rob Hobb's Farseer trilogy if you want some good fantasy books.

I LOVE the Abhorsen books. I rarely hear anyone else talk about them. You should try reading the Alanna series by Tamora Pierce. I think you'd enjoy them

everybody's talking about relaxing but I literally got jumpscared at the Irving bit 😂

oh dang i remember reading sabriel like in highs school or so maybe. i don't remember how far i got through it though maybe i'll pick it up the series and re read it again and read the newer stuff.

Whoa...the realism of the characters is so creepy!

So I had this video on as background noise while I goofed off online. And then I heard you say 'Clariel', and my attention IMMDEDIATELY shot back to here. I LOVE those books, though admittedly, the original trilogy is stronger than 'Clariel' and 'Goldenhand'. I would say it's worth reading both, though.

If you like paranormal romance, you can't go wrong with Nalini Singh. Her psy/changeling series is so good. So is her archangel series. PJ Tracy does great mysteries. Any time you or your readers want good book recs, just let me know. 😁

42:32 TELL ME I'm wrong but like, is that NOT 'Baby' sitting on the shelf? I fuckin' swear that's the 67' Chevy impala! In a spooky ghost busting hog?? I BET.

The old kingdom trilogy is one of my favorite series ever! One of the few I've read more than once! Gurrlll if you need any book recs just let me know

i LOVED this game omg 🤩 i still remember playing it and ugh i want to play it again ...i'm a simp for eipix

Mr. Nightingale looks like Slappy The Dummy.

Lol Gab the town i grew up in was in Maine and they currently only have a population of 465 as of 2019. I don't live there anymore but it was always small

That fireman at the end tho damn he cute

One hidden object game you should do is either mystery case files dire grove or Maze subject 360. Both are really really good!

One Book series I might recommend to you is "The Circle Quartet" series of novels by Tamora Pierce, they are one of my favorite set of characters and worlds.

Book series to read: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R Donaldson. 10 books in the series, and while that is awesome, it kind of sucks because there are only 10.

Going to be watching this while I get my tattoo.

YES hidden object game again!!!

This Game is like Corps Party Dark Deception Monsterume Game Resident Evil Silent Hill

I never finished Clariel, but I still love the series as a whole. Personally, Sabriel is my favorite. I like Lirael but I have to be in the right mood to read it since it doesn't have quite as much action.

I looked away from the vid for a sec and I thought that the sound of the airhorn was BB meowing😭😭😭😭

Im excited for the HOG but honestly Im looking into this book shes talking about! I've never heard of it! But I think I might pick it up!

i kind of surprised you haven't played Sanitarium amd Scratches yet. they are such a cool point and click horror games. i m sure you re gonna love them.

I loved the abhorsen books!!!
