Assemble with Care ♥

[@rdfjfgjyfdhfghy67456]

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 ❤️

[@JasonZakrajsek]

I mean they’re not real model names, but the detail is pretty good.

[@JacqAmman]

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!

[@Asher_Gray]

I do the same thing. Best comfort streamer

[@ashleyguthrie572]

Same tbh

[@Hana-yu1fj]

her videos are the best to fall asleep to. Just such calm and chill vibes, I can watch them whenever and wherever. A comfort in this hectic world

[@Tonton-qh6io]

Same! You have the most soothing aura, Evelien! Even when you played The Quarry 😂 But I definitely rewatch when I wake up from my sweet nap 😌😉 thanks for being your awesome self! :')

[@Whenevember]

Lol, I knew it wasn’t just me. I’m lucky to have a job that involves a lot of data entry, so I’m usually listening to Gab in the background. Other players are like energy drinks, but Gab is like a raspberry lemonade hibiscus iced tea.

[@CrayonConoisseur]

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 ❤️

[@breathe4778]

it totally has me

[@skeletoninyourbody9896]

Id love to learn so, but im not sure where to begin. Especially because I can't afford equipment or anything really.

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

[@mushrooms6630]

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

[@jmfindorff]

I know!! I just played this game today on my phone and I got to that chapter and once I fine the whole time, but once I heard him start singing, I immediately started crying 😭

[@flyingShrimp02]

@@jmfindorffI thought it was just gonna be a silly game but when that part came on I cried what a lovely game❤😭

[@cherrytachi3530]

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

[@LeSethX]

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.

[@mincentprice1041]

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!!

[@jedward1832]

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.

[@YulesArts]

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 💕

[@ClydeOnPluto]

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 :)

[@blahberrypancake]

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!

[@alexschofield8085]

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

[@alexrussell5244]

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

[@rhiannajd4412]

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

[@tvtomass]

I'm so grateful for KZbin 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!❤❤❤

[@curator3539]

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!

[@Mimmzies]

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!

[@emmamccarthy4424]

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

[@joyfullyminimal7185]

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 💓

[@ZoeUnderall]

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

[@Wistful_Thinking]

I'm sorry things are like that. I'm sure one day though you'll meet people who appreciate you for you and enjoy just hanging out and checking on you. Well wishes to you 💜

[@ZoeUnderall]

@@Wistful_Thinking wow. Thank you so much fellow venomous. :).

[@simonpeterms]

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.

[@mv0lution]

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

[@Sebastianmaz615]

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.

[@aquariusfreak_7680]

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

[@Gloomcookie96]

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.

[@ThatOneFur]

Photosensitivity epilepsy is extremely rare! If anything think of other types of seizures that no one else cares about! Such as non convulsive seizures! Also as long as it’s not rapid flashing its typically fine for people. Honestly i wish other types besides photosensitivity would be recognized. People like me don’t have as much support as they do and no one ever tries caring

[@banettenighmare8645]

@@ThatOneFur As someone with both. I love when people even acknowledge photosensitive epilepsy because in my experience they barely think about that or care. But I agree that other forms should be acknowledged as well. I think seizures as a whole needs more attention as it’s often consider a joke by society when it really shouldn’t be.

[@mossdarragh]

"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 :')

[@aphinmedschool]

“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

[@hayde_ink2809]

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

[@xJuliettex]

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 💜

[@mauze6854]

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

[@saltydinonuggies1841]

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…

[@wolfwoods_]

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

[@rainycat3496]

1:18:22 "I think they're going the wrong directions..." I chuckled when I heard this, quietly responding with, "Hmm, you suppose they are, don't you?" I honestly found so much joy in watching you play this game. Every "aw shucks" or "ooh, I get it" moment, makes me smile.

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