Gab muttering "keep making money" while running from untold horrors is peak late capitalism.
The only way to go!
If I learned something is that Gab's viewers have some highbrow sense of humor. Love your comment!
Cthulhu rises from the deep.
Capitalists, "Yes, but where's the PROFIT?"
Executives when they find out there is no profit to be made from the Old Ones and they are in very real danger😦😦
@@sugasweet435large companies when they can't monetise the heat death of the universe
Stardew’s 1.6 update is a lot more intense then I was expecting
😂😂😂
😂😂 good one
😂😂😂
whats that
The contrast between the cute little characters and the absolute terrifying monsters and music is so cool 😂❤
AVOID THE WENDIGO
FEAR THE SHADOW MONSTER IN YOUR HOUSE
Give this sad clown a balloon. C:
you know, giving the deer glowing eyes would actually make sense when you have your lantern out. A lot of animals have eyes that reflect light and it would be both spooky and useful from a gameplay perspective to have a pair of glowing eyes wandering around in the darkness. Especially since they don't need to be very big, which would still mean that you'd have to be vigilant and/or keep track of where the deer is to not be ambushed randomly.
I like the aesthetic of this game, though I'm personally not a huge fan of playing horror games myself. Especially since I deliberately play farming games to chill.
as a person in an area with a lot of forest and deer animals, this is true. you are out minding your business and all of a sudden there are glinting buttons in the dark
Tapetum Lucidum :) It's so cool!
We now officially have 2 different types of farming sims lol 1.) Chill & relaxing 2.)ABSOLUTELY HEART PUMPING TERRIFYING
I didn't know farming could be so scary lol 😂
in the real world famring is hella scary. Bugs at night, ghost at farm, farmer's myth
This new horror farming sim genre is p great too, I just started playing another one called Harvest Island and I'm stoked to see there's also this one to play after!
You missed out the op to say ' Heart PUMPKIN terrifying'
I screamed so hard when you first died! This is way more terrifying than it has any right to be
Seriously! I watched this last night before bed (I know i know I set myself up) and actually had nightmares 😭
I curled my toes 😭 so scary
Starting over every time you die would drive me crazy. And since they don't really give you rules to follow or warnings about all the threats, it's pretty much a guarantee that you're going to die a lot just to find these things out.
Yeah... I kind of wish they'd give you a tip whenever you died, specifically how to avoid dying next time to whatever killed you.
@@kaylenvee8150 There are rules and explanations
If you play properly it states don't stay inside too long, for example, or the shadow will come
That was the sell point of Don't Starve and I have like 500 hours on that game😆
It is impressive how panic-inducing this game actually is. The deer/wendigo part was predictable, yet still startled the hell outta me.
sorry, but what is a wendigo??
@@IsaacPatersonIt's a creature from Native American folklore (specifically Navajo, if I'm remembering right). They're usually people who've eaten human flesh and turned into a kind of monster, but the deer head is more of a recent internet addition from what I understand. It's a pretty nuanced topic in regards to what is and isn't a wendigo and how one becomes a wendigo so I'd recommend looking up some videos on the difference between wendigo and skinwalkers if you're interested.
not a wendigo, they don't have horns or look like deer at all, that's a common misconception in media portayals. Skinwalker or Notdeer, or maybe a mix of both.
@@Slinky_Loki1967 W-----go are primarily from folktales of the First Nations in the northern US and basically all of central and northeastern Canada, since it's primarily from Algonquin-speaking nations, as well as some Cree-speaking.
It's one of the reasons most Western modern media interpretations of it choose to include fur and deer antlers (even though traditional descriptions of them don't have those details); they're thematically tied to the cold months when resources are scarce and cannibalism is the most threatening.
of all the indie horrors that you've played, this one has definitely scared me the most, haha. I think it's because you have actual tasks to try and get done. good job developers
I didn't anticipate actually jumping from a cutesie little 2D farming game but when he followed you inside, man... lol
This game felt like a mix of Over the Garden Wall (pumpkin head? 🎃) and Don’t Starve for me which I am very happy about.
Perfect vid for a cozy fall day 🍂🍁 Thanks Gab! ✨✨
Definitely has very Klei/Don't Starve art style and mechanics.
I thought exactly this~
Gab, if you love this, you would love Darkwood. It's WAY more intense than this but it has the "survive the night, manages your resources while really spooky shit happens around you" vibe and turns it up to 11.
Darkwood is a total horror masterpiece but I'm not sure she'd take on a game that requires that many hours to finish?
@@Mant111 Maybe someday, but I agree it is definitely a time investment. I can only hope! It would so be up her alley.
I adore Markiplier's gameplay of it, and I'm sure that Gab would love it as well, but sadly I agree with the comment above that it is a lengthy game 😢 I would personally even watch 50 videos of Gab playing it tho lol
@@aaelr.740 Same, but I'm not sure if she'd be up for it.
I'd also love for Gab to play Darkwood, maybe even on streams, so it doesn't turn into a longplay
Low key how it used to feel when I first started working graveyard shifts lol. These days I am pretty numb to it, since I’ve learnt to identify most of the weird sounds that used to spook me, and for those that I don’t, my brain has reached peak “oh well, if I die, I die” mentality lmao.
I think two things that could improve this game.
1. A bit more guidance from the crow (a hint and some help at the start of each day, but after the fifth you find its corpse)
2. Improve the effect of the lanterns at night (providing a bit more light to navigate by, but perhaps at the cost of expending more fuel)
I would also add to either decrease the spawn rate of sticks/twigs/caps or increase the value of crops. Being able to sell twigs & sticks for a better price than the crops you harvest just makes it more lucrative to just run around collecting and selling those instead of even growing crops XD
@@Imagin8ioto be fair I'd say that it's still more profitable to harvest crops, especially when the resources don't despawn so there's no incentive to spend all your time collecting them instead of just doing one big collection at the start of the second day
They could have it. You escape the first Island farm, with a smoking boat and it hits somes rocks and you end up at a bigger island. With other animals chasing you. And different jobs for you to do. The boat needs other stuff fixing as well as the engin. But when you die you get the choose the island you want to start from. This could go on for about 4 islands until you get to the 5th island and you have to fix a light plane. Whe you fix it theplane takes you home.
This game genuinely gave me so much anxiety
Having a deer snort at you from about 5ft in the pitch black will get your heart going for a sec.
I didn’t read the title all the way and thought “oh a cute little farming game!” I was half correct 💀🤣😭
I love that Gab goes outside into pitch blackness to get away from the shadow thing inside
well the shadow thing was a sure death the spooky dark outside was a maybe death lol
I love how Gab is the only gamer NOT tryna leave the island 🤣 I love it. I’ve been wanting to see what all the things are lol
That string plucking scary music really reminds me of something I cant quite remember. The Shining, maybe? Either way, it’s very effective! 😅
To me, it sounds like the soundeffect kitchen nightmares uses when something bad happens.
I think a lot of horror movies have that sound. I remember it from the Conjuring/Insidious
Think it’s similar to some of the musical stings in franbow!
It’s the Kitchen Nightmares sound 😂😂😂 it’s in a different key but same interval and almost the same length and it’s just a synth violin with nothing underneath just like KN.
And in this video it starts at 3:05 so you can compare the two
GOD seeing the deer in the dark was so scary. Excellent Halloween vibes!!!
The lack of saves would make this maddening
I had no idea how tense a farming game could be but good GRAVY this game nailed the scares xD
This is one game that would absolutely be worth the money if it developed into a full blown game like a don't starve/stardew mashup with its own twists and turns.
First Dredge, and now Pumpkin Panic??? I love combining horror elements with seemingly peaceful pastimes/professions (i.e. fishing, farming-)
Has she played Greener Grass Awaits yet? That’s another one.
Dang taking you back to the beginning each time is BRUTAL!
I wasn't expecting to start seeing the killer clowns as friends and a slow deer as the most terrorizing thing but here we are!
I mean yk the clown isn't a friend anyway, but the crow surely is. But i get wym.
@@notherepim true true
Just saw a game is releasing tomorrow and figured I would put it here in case you see it (understanding you have soo many games to play already and may not even see this lol) Have you seen anything on Shy Cats Hidden Orchestra? It looks super chill and cute if you were looking for something like that :)
I adore the 2D/3D line art combo aesthetic, especially combined with the gorgeous lighting. So prettyyy. Spooky season fact - deer are actually opportunistic omnivores, so they'll eat anything from flower bushes to baby birds.
this is so creative! I didn't know what to expect with "farming horror" but I was pleasantly jump scared 🤣 I think the clown death was the first I screamed at a horror game in a long time LMAO
There is nothing as cool in horror than when a deer is “wrong”
I love it!
This is so lovely!! I wish the crow would’ve popped up more to give hints about how to deal with certain monsters
Hey I was hoping you'd play this sometime! Perfect game for the autumn season.
I can tell this is heavily inspired by Dont Starve but that makes it LOVELY, amazing concept
Omg I never thought you’d play this game I’m so happy
Me on the contrary I was waiting this channel to upload a gameplay of this game 😂 You need more faith
You know I actually thought about downloading this game but i'm scared shitless just watching your video so i'd rather not have a heart attack 🤣
Yea, I can definitely see this concept in a broader scope, like every time you scape you go to a different region/map with different monsters different tasks to do in order to go to the next region. And a system to save every survived night would be cool too, but that classic "hardcore mode" with no saves could be kept too imo. Very good short game ;)
Love this game's perspective, reminds me of oldschool GC Animal Crossing.
Great looking game for what it is! Has a lot of potential to be even more. I agree with the deer eyes they should glow but blue. Tipping off that it is secretly something else(Wendigo).
I can see this game working fine as a rogue-like if the devs wanted to keep the "start over when you die" idea. It would just need some sort of buffs before each run so the player doesn't feel like they're not making progress. Really cool overall tho! I gotta play it sometime.
This is hilariously adorable and wholesomely spooky. :)
Gab being concerned about deer for 1 hour straight
after a long day this is just the good content I wanna come home to 🎃🍂
I LOVE coziween stuff like this! I’m writing/posting a cozy farming web novel that premiered last week and this has that same vibe! We need more cozy horror (that doesn’t let up on the horror and still feels scary!) stuff and it’s even better when it’s got farming elements! What a CUTE and horrifying game (and the title is perfect!)
This is probably going to be my go-to comfort video, and i have no idea how she makes spooky so comforting LMAO
I've been waiting for this game! I've been recently obsessed with it and was so excited to see you play!
i cant understand how this is so terrifying my god
to clarify i am scared
Gab, do you think you could maybe do a video showing us your puzzle collection? I saw a clip of two of them and they looked really cool!!
When people act like they’ve watched the whole vid already even though it’s only 5 min old 😂
the moment you ran to the well and I saw the deer already there I audibly gasped 😂😂😂that deer definitely want a piece of you. btw if you by any chance like point and click games maybe you might want to try shardlight? A bit old but I think it's a pretty cool game
if anyone was wondering, the music box is “Top Of The World” by The Carpenters
This game look creepy but cool at the same time 🎃 vibes
That edit cut at 39:02 scared the heck out of me! Bc at 39:00 the deer was at the door and it looked like you just ran straight out! 😂😂
i’ve recently loved watching one other youtuber play this, but seeing you post this makes me so excited. one of my favorite people passed away yesterday and i’ve been hanging with my best friend to cope. seeing you post this makes me relieved that i can fall asleep more easily. thank you❤.
I'd love to see a playthrough of The Bunny Graveyard it looks like such a good game lol
i wish there were more horror farming games because this one is SO fun
That was the most anxiety inducing farming game ever!!!
But I also love the original twist the developers gave on this :D
Gabs shock when the deerboy was at her door made my soul exit stage left
Your playthroughs are absolutely fantastic. It's so much fun to watch you go through these lovely (scary) games.
Plus this is the perfect season for it since I'm in the northern hemisphere. Nothing beats the combo of fall weather and spooky games.
The sound design of this game is what puts me so much on edge and I am here for it!!!
This is like Stardew’s combat farm got a Nightmare mode. I love it
I think this will become a yearly watch for me- I love it!
Yesssss, I’m so glad to see you playing this and I’m so looking forward to watching 💕
This was absolutely amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever been this tense watching a let’s play! Great way to spend a Saturday morning. 😊❤
Yooo I love this game!!! I really hope they add more to this because it's SUCH a good aesthetic and SUCH a good premise. I hope they expand on it quite a bit. This is what I wanted from Don't Starve was just farming more and more.
First of all WHAT did that deer turn into, walking on its hind legs, all its muscles flexed!! Just horrifying!! Great game Gab!! Really enjoyed watching you play!! Off to find my next adventure!!❤❤
This is such a perfect game for October!! Love your content Gab!!
genuinely fucking freaky. ive been extremely desensitized by hyper-realistic horror and gore but this thing had me biting my nails
I was very pleasantly surprised at this. I was putting it off until the evening because it was a longer video to watch, but I am very glad I finally got to enjoy it. I love your content, so wholesome and fulfilling. I know it sounds silly to say that towards a mild horror game but still.
Yesssssss!!!! I refused to see anyone else play this since I knew you might play it eventually!! I’m so excited!! Spooky Farming Time!!!
I absolutely loved watching you play this. Indie horror / farming sim seems like it was made for you!
Hey Gabs, ooblets has a Halloween event out now and it just released on steam! Soon we’ll be getting the 1.4 update where the ooblets can drive little cars and UFOs around!
I've been waiting for you to play this, I'm so happy! I loved this game from the first time I saw it, it's stressful but for some reason there's a point where I feel relaxed again after some time. I like how simple it is too. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though I think I never saw someone have that much bad luck when encountering the deer and the ghoul at the door at the same time, lol.
EDIT: I agree that it would be so could to have an expanded version of this, ut I also like the main game as it is. Maybe if it was separated in different modes or if you could customize the events (like adding enabling seasons, monsters, events, etc.).
I'm so excited to watch Gab play this game!
i would looove this as a full game with even more stuff?? loved seeing you play it!!
i’m only ten minutes in and i really didn’t expect this game to be actually so scary 😂 i expected spooky but this thing is TERRIFYING like the build up of the music and the lighting and everything omg
obsessed with the Don't Starve paper-style of this all and oddly, the difficulty reminds me alot of Muck? But I was absolutely not expecting to have a full blown anxiety attack (/srs rip) when that crescendo kicked in LMFAO.. good god the sound design is amazing! Plus that adrenaline spike when the enemies BOLT towards you.. totally reminiscent of old indie horror ♡
so much stress bundled into a cute lil farming game... thank you for playin Gab! Def. gotta give this a shot if my anxiety can handle it 🥲💕
I'm so glad you're playing this!! The second I saw this game, I knew it'd be right up your alley~!!
At the beginning I am like "how can this cute game be scary?" 10 minutes in, I am getting scared along with Gab!
It's so funny that they use such a happy song "Top of the world" for the scary music box music you have to follow LOL
The deer makes sense, since you are a pumpkin
This is AMAZING! Gab is finally playing it!!
I've never heard of this game! Thank you so much for featuring it! I definitely want to check it out now!
This is adorable and terrifying! Thanks for playing and sharing!
I expected you will play this game eventually when I first saw the game for the first time. I mean, it's just really up there in your alley, farming and horror game. Great playthrough as always.
this game was sooo much fun to watch!! gave a good few jumpscares too with the deer haha. Great video!!
Farming game indie-horror is Gab’s brand in a nutshell lol
I saw a clip from this game and I'm so glad you did a playthrough of it!! 🤩It honestly is so terrifying aaaaa
The fact that you need to re-darn-start the whole thing from the beginning once you die...no thank you.
omg, finally! I've been playing this game for a month now, and was contemplating to suggest it myself. haha.
Is it on mobile?
I've been hoping someone would make a game like this! So cool!!!
gab chemistry with farming game is *chef's kiss* no matter if it's a scary or a chill farming game
The music box song was the '70s song "Top of the World" by Karen Carpenter (I think).
So suspenseful, I was so on edge that my stomach growled and I freaked out.
This game is giving Don’t Starve vibes
"except my home is haunted by a man eating deer" ...cue me cracking up. Best line of the year so far from a Let's Play for sure!
Omg I loved this game, it was so fun to watch! Thanks for playing it I felt so tense 😂
I could look at and listen to this game all day! Despite the horrors this is just everything I love about fall!
hey, just for info (for people who are new to this like her), it doesnt matter if the door to the house is open or closed since (i suppose) the game code automatically gives you a 100% survive rate after you cross a special barrier
in short, the deer and white ipad kid cannot cross that barrier, but the angry balloon boy can
works the other way around with the shadow person from under the bed - they cant leave
in more short theres an invisible barrier 24/7 at the door
Such a well designed and made game! I look forward to seeing this played in multiplayer (you know they'll make it!)
