our Ranger bestie really left to work in the woods with nothing but a chapstick in his pocket and a spring in his step huh

[@gunmandoo]

Well, he didn't have his compass anymore after he pooped it out and it got stuck in the pipes.

[@FuriosasWarRig]

That's just called being a man lol

[@thelexicon7294]

@@gunmandooHate it when that happens

[@Stike354]

Maybe the people aren't lost or missing. They're just stuck in the woods doing puzzles.

[@patriciamaeperez3968]

I'd get stuck there on purpose just to do those puzzles

[@lauralennon5615]

This made me giggle thank you.

[@PoetJordan]

I cant stop laughing at this comment lololololol

[@mirthevanhoorn]

The detail😮 even the windscreen of the car is dusty at the edges where the wipers cant reach. Very much looking forward to the rest of this!

[@blublugamingchannel]

Very intrigued indeed❤

[@KD-xx]

I love your little backstory of the ranger pooping out his compass and blocking the toilet 🤣

[@BeingIris]

*Grabs the popcorn* 🍿

[@VorpalSnickerSnack]

Read that as Gabs the popcorn.

Imagine if you had to go through daily life like this. Time to make breakfast! Oh, the fuse in the toaster is missing, the spare fuse is locked in the cellar but I need to rewire a car engine first in order to retrieve the key. 😒

[@azakiri752]

Gotta love the logic in this kind of games - it's your own office but everything is either locked (and you don't have the key for some reason xD) or you have to solve the puzzle. That said, the game seems incredibly atmospheric, and I liked it 👍👍

[@slartimus]

I just imagined the eventual reveal that Aurora Hills and its park had architectural consulting by George Trevor. (iyk,yk.) Meanwhile, the ambience gave me a bit of Alan Wake II feels. Ethan better hope that replacement lantern battery doesn't run out of juice.

[@clovercomics]

"People go missing 'cause the forest's so nice, they just wanna live there" Me, everytime I go to the forest :D

[@fourcatsandagarden]

that radio news report at the beginning was the most realistic news report I've heard in a video game in a long time lol like, not just its delivery and its words but its sound was spot on

[@MaksymIvanenko]

Great you picked it. Aurora Hills and Meridian 157 are the ones that deserve more recognition

[@Jaehyuns_Dimples]

I just made some coffee and some chocolate chip cookies this is perfect timing to sit back and relax and watch this!

[@blublugamingchannel]

I love your vibe in that case...add some marshmallow❤❤❤

[@braynjohnson4302]

Oooh can I have a cookie?

[@rhkips]

I bet the culprit was a Root Bear! Seriously though, I gotta thank you for playing these types of games! I lack the patience to deal with puzzles like this, but I love all the visuals and storytelling behind them!

[@fancydeer]

maybe if they hadn't flushed the one compass in the state of West Virginia down the toilet they wouldn't be going missing.

[@jtrex2249]

A park ranger without a pocket knife at minimum is amusing to me. Lol Love these vids! Not my type of game I like playing, but I really enjoy watching you play them!

[@garnettekken]

i have a pocket knife on me at all times and i’m not a park ranger. I can’t imagine not having a pocket knife on me

[@noelitaprado]

I was like oh yay new series and then Gab said we have to wait for about a year and my face went from 😍 to 😢 real quick

[@stargirl7646]

What?! Oh noooo I was just getting into it!

[@noelitaprado]

@@stargirl7646 same! But we'll have to wait 😣

[@gunmandoo]

Park rangers should've called in Nancy to deal with the alchemical stuff.

[@twicethess-ratedghoul7859]

As soon as you said it was from the devs of meridian, I was instantly excited. Can’t wait for the next chapter !

[@itsJenMae]

9:35 "That's Jen!" That me! I'm definitely looking forward to the next chapter 😄

[@inspiredworld]

Me on the West Coast of Canada: That news reporter at the beginning sounds so familiar, like someone on Global News... *looks up game dev studio* They're based in Alberta, Canada! I couldn't see from the credits but I wonder if they asked a real news reporter from one of our Canadian channels to do that voice acting part! :D

[@pepewo1688]

Will do my schoolwork with this in the background. It's gonna be a chill night.

[@abrilarrondo4757]

I don’t know what it is about your videos, probably the calm but enthusiastic way you approach mystery games like these, but they’re perfect for me to put on when I’ve had a bad or chaotic day. This one is no different. Thank you!

[@WitchlingSimmer]

We are so in sync lately that I have a terrible time deciding if I should watch or play the game first 😂 It’s hard when your fav streamer/KZbinr has the exact taste as you.

[@darkwickgames7175]

This is giving "Goliath the Soothsayer" vibes, it's an ancient point and click to drive out a demon summoned by an Ouija board from the house.

[@mandolyngambino9327]

@darkwickgames7175 True. It also reminds me of the famous Hoia Baciu Forest in Cluj County, Romania. With all it's supernatural history esp of people going missing and strange lights (if the game later has those strange lights features). And these graphics are fantastic. ^^ Sad we have to wait for chapter 2. I'm so engrossed in this. ^^

[@abistoxks]

It feels like we're all just friends playing a video game together I love it ❤️

[@Wuptidoo]

Using Unreal Engine 5 to make the environments and the animations for this game is such a good use of its features! It saves a lot of time for the developer and gives, even smaller games, a quality feel.

[@MaskedReviews]

31:17 The triangles and trapezoids, like the lines, are only counting the ones uninterrupted by other strings. I was surprised by the low number too (I got 13, 6, and 6) but we were apparently solving a harder puzzle than what was written 😂

[@AncientG]

Oooo new Gab series? Time to grab my crochet project and a coffee

[@ZelleZeno-sz2vy]

I'm almost finish watching you left 4 dead playlist and I wished that I discovered you earlier. I love you so much Gab!!! Keep up the great work!

[@ChaoticDragon5]

Love watching you play these kind of games Gab,. I enjoyed watching you play all chapters of Meridian. can't wait to see you play Chapter 2 when it releases. Always fun seeing you play these puzzle type games :)

[@simonableifertaite5628]

Dinner time and at the same time watching Gabs video is such a vibe.

[@courtneyneubauer3660]

It's giving Nancy Drew 😂

[@orchidrose1410]

❤❤I had a crappy weekend definitely needed me some Gabs!!❤ new game, hour vid, I feel better already!!😁

[@blublugamingchannel]

Maybe I can also help

[@ambermayersky7192]

love it! already can’t wait for more episodes!

[@shoob6298]

this game looks beautiful

[@puffinpeddler2827]

Ooh yay, I’m so glad you’re playing this! I had a lot of fun with this game! Here’s hoping the next chapter comes out soon

[@toolzshed]

Meridian 157 was an awesome game! And this is a lot of fun too!!! 😊❤

[@aprilm8476]

Reminds me of the "James Patterson Women's Murder Club: Little Black Lies" game I used to play as a kid. Major nostalgia vibes.

[@stargirl7646]

I love how your character walks backwards when you go back through a place 😂

[@UmbralGoddessAria]

A new gab video is a good day.

[@oliveee297]

this is just the vibe I wanted rn!! I've been trying to pick something to watch for hours😂 Perfect timing

[@swishingtail3752]

I absolutely love the games you play, Gab. I haven't been able to watch your streams since I changed jobs and had a baby, but your videos still bring me absolute joy and fun during my free time.

[@taytay0012]

I love the mystery and the setting and of course, the puzzles! I’m looking forward to the next chapter.

[@blublugamingchannel]

Got my coffee, my popcorn and my popsicle 🎉🥰🥰🥰

[@GhostHelwig]

I really love the games these developers have made so far. The puzzles are so good, and the story is really interesting. I love the mystery. It’s going to be a hard wait for the next chapter. 😊

[@jackrabbit.]

Me during the driving scenes: _"SLOW DOOOOOOWN!"_

[@mrs.johnwinchester420]

So excited for another game from the developers of Meridian 157! Especially super excited that Gab is playing through this for us! Thank you! ❤

[@xdisBme217x]

😊 definitely relaxing with this later!

[@JustinW332]

This looks really pretty and interesting. I do like these types of adventure games. It looks so realistic

[@panthyrrvod]

That coffeepot brought back memories. My parents had one exactly like it in the 80s.

[@gaelmorgan6271]

GAAAABBBB i hope you're doing well im so excited to watch this after work today to deompress!!!! keep up the amazing work :)

[@abigaylejackson3845]

God the atmosphere of this game is making me feel some type of way I haven't felt in so long😫

[@victoriafrye6834]

I really loved the vibe of this game, it was so peaceful while being very story telling and the puzzles werent something I was horribly baffled by so it was nice to understand with you this time! I love that jen just went off without us by herself in a town where people are disappearing 😂 girl of course your going to disappear

[@kelknox]

Cant wait to see more of this game. Lovely puzzles and intriguing story

[@SirXer]

I can't wait to see the next chapter when it comes out, your commentary was delightful!

[@furiscafynn6275]

Ohhh, love watching Gab plays these games!!!

[@lauralennon5615]

Enjoyed this Evelyn. Calming also good puzzles was stumped a few times truthfully. Can't wait till chapter 2. Please play this more when out. Think you will. Hopes so. Take care xx

[@dimwarlock]

I have to make a bingo card with these games, it always takes me off guard when Gab says "shows my age, huh?" I have other phrases like "It's so well made", "reminds me of that other game", "it's just a little guuuuuy", "Bluuuud, not funny!"

[@kath032000]

So excited. I just finished watch you live and now this.

[@aettic]

This was really solid. I once played a game called Enigma on Playstation, which was also a point and click mystery / puzzle solving game. I wish this was a bit longer / had some more story. But now knowing that this is a thing, I'll check out Meridian.

[@dorothy309]

I love my recommendations today

[@freakishuproar1168]

Nothing beats the slow burner atmosphere of a point n' click game :3

[@JorgeTorres-vf3ph]

I literally played this a few weeks ago. I personally think it’s a good start to something big. I can’t wait till the other games are out.

[@ace_of_cups4096]

Suuuuper excited for this. Working thru one of my last shifts at my job and desperately needing the distraction to pass the time ❤❤❤

[@cassyfire5889]

Lol had some amazing timing! Super excited

[@H.h.creates]

I need to know the story!!! Her boots were standing there still!! I want to play and look at every detail for hints in the pictures of what it might be

[@hollyterry6843]

You said Mario style. Instantly “ here we go” in my head

[@marcbrunson6986]

1979? My birth year. Heavy duty coffee maker ha ha. Going through stuff in the attic, I found my reels to my viewfinder i use to have. I'll have to check this out.

[@brihna9522]

29:09 Boy kitty jumped up on the tv stand when you started moving photos around and tried to grab the cursor, lol! I think the thread might have caught his attention, he LOVES yarn. He doesn’t usually watch much tv. 😸

[@Doubles.H]

Omg so awesome! 🔥😍 I love this and can't wait for more! You're picking great games Gab! 🎉❤ made my weekend! 😁👍

[@evelinemartens5179]

[@phe_day1603]

I kept thinking I’d seen you play this game before but I just played it the other day! 😂😂

[@jamila0019]

i wish i can get Gab to play Shadows of Doubt :( it's such a fun game with all the actual detective work in that game, i bet it's going to be fun for her

Looks good ❤ !

Gab would be the best investigator in the police force she'd be taking in every little detail and she'd capture the culprit in no time

[@jenbraunstein865]

West Virginia? It's the Mothman. Solved. This game looks so fun and the details are SO NICE.

[@leesmith5921]

As a WV native, I RAN to the comments section with excitement! I get the human version of the zoomies when I see my home state represented in games. Will come back and edit once the video is done with my thoughts! Holy crap I love it!

[@nobleheart9802]

I. Love. This type of long lets play. I also grab my popcorn with glee❤

[@Val_Emrys]

What a fun game! Like you, I don't want to wait.

I look forward to seeing more of this game

[@nctr3791]

oooh so much fun! Ive been binging StarDew 1.6, so this was a great palette cleanser!

[@InktheImpassive]

I remember playing these kinds of games on my Ipad (was an ipad kid) and they still creep the hell outta me.

[@Miss_Siti]

Awesome game! You should definitely play the rest of the game ❤

I just finished watching a video about creepy moments in camping videos on KZbin and now this pops up on my feed OMG

[@wildboar173]

i was going to say this looks a lot like west virginia! wow, im impressed.

[@EmbeRobin]

I loved this game I’m looking forward to more content from it

[@alexisasheep6554]

you know you're online too much when just hearing "missing" and "forest" makes you think missing 411

[@Deathbyswordpoint]

My parents had that exact alarm clock

[@katiekatdubui]

I need chapter 2 now! 😭🥺 such a cliff hanger!
