Strange Investigations: Becoming (Hidden Object Game)

[@dems1978]

the dude is like 'Nyeeh WE solved another case' while Dana was doing all the work and he was browsing advertisements for advertisers

[@Amethystar]

I was sitting at our local cat cafe, and one of the "kittens" (he's about 1) is growing slightly more affectionate. He came over to the table I was at, and after trying to taste my drink and lay on my notebooks, he settled down and started to watch this with me. I had my phone propped up and it was fun watching him watch you. :) He's a little white cat named Mildew (not my choice of names, but it's thematic to the place), but I call him Dewey. I'll have to show him some of your other HOGs to see if I can get him hooked. I definitely enjoy them!

[@petradegroot3578]

that's so sweet🥰 please gif him a pet for me next time; i love to wacth gab to with my cat Nigreos🙂

[@Amethystar]

@@petradegroot3578 Will do! Give your kitty some love for me as well!

[@melaniep8761]

That is absolutely adorable! 🥰

[@maxsaboofpiu]

oh my god. the opening ended with the bees coming at them because the title of the game is 'BEE-COMING'

[@Sh1roNekoshi]

.... Oh god

[@liveinthenow6426]

😂🤣

[@maltemoj]

Beauty lies in the eye of the bee holder...

@@maltemoj Seeing is bee-lieving, after all!

[@Iva744]

​@@RivkahSong If they were bee-leaving they would be flying the other way

[@seanandrewl]

The casual "Thank you murder child!" honestly made my day.

[@kbabergo]

-gets head piece “we’re getting *ahead* in the game now” GAB LMAO

[@alyssa8102]

As a life-long fan of the Nancy Drew games, I personally think this engine would have suited the game style much better than what they tried to do with the last one. I completely agree with you.

[@malwaremal]

My favorite part about these games is the 'why is that happening' reaction when you complete a puzzle and the game just does something completely different from what you'd expect, like 23:42

[@EmmyVidCenter]

When the Theater dude tries to shoot the detective and the mini game pops up I immediately thought: “HE’S CHOSEN THE BEES!!!” 🐝 🐝🐝

[@Chocibunny]

I liked how Gab was wondering if something happened to Ursula after all, clicks on the photo after and just doesn't see the mc saying "I'm sorry Ursula, I was too late." xD comedic timing

[@XKillerXKittenX]

"so he left the house only to come back into the house" gotta love hidden object games only they could pull something off like this

[@nekromimi]

If you're wondering what the note says at 2:44:26, it says "Dana Strange caught another criminal and saved someone! When I grow up, I'll become a famous detective like her."

[@RivkahSong]

Thanks BB, you won me a Bingo with your magnificent cameo. I got Game Crashes, Bad Voice Acting, BB Cam, Indication of Missing Collectibles, and Fight With Matching Symbols! Seriously tho, thank you Evelien. I'm having a rough go of it because my beloved cocker spaniel Dante died yesterday. My father bought him for me when my mom died *and* I found out I couldn't have children in the same year and that pup saved my life so I'm devastated at the loss of him. Watching your videos are so relaxing and make me smile when I badly need it so thank you.

[@buildyourwalls]

Since I'm watching this playlist backwards it so cool to see how this sorry connected and continues and find it's origins. Still loving the animations and ridiculous hog life

[@amythelunarwarrior1343]

I love how throughout the video the bee at the bottom in the corner of the screen was shaking it’s little butt 😂😂😄

[@Laudanon]

It's funny, because if I remember correctly "Who goes there" was partially inspired by Lovecraft's "Mountains of madness", and later Carpenter, when he was making his own adaptation of "The thing", brought it back to its true cosmic horror roots :) It's my favorite movie of all time.

[@phantomcomposer]

These are comfort videos for me, and since I have to get kidney surgery soon I know I’m gonna be watching all of these! Thanks for making this type of content, Gab!

[@sophie.bee.]

i like that she saws through the fence thats right next to the front gate she doesnt want to enter through

[@tinacluff2793]

I think it would actually be fun if they did a Nancy Drew as a HOG.

[@petradegroot3578]

Agree😄

[@246kisses]

Heck ya!

[@xkh0bssessedx]

They actually did a little while back! There are a few Nancy Drew "dossier" titles that are hidden object games.

[@olliolli4882]

the logic of "oh no, don't walk through the front door, let me instead be noise and climb ind right next to the front door" ... makes no sense XD

[@victoriafrye6834]

The editing during her finding stuff in the picnic basket was so smooth, I didnt notice there had been any editing at all to be honest until all the sudden the three items left in the basket were magically found

[@geoclem]

a nice relaxing HOG on a late Sunday afternoon before the start of a new week, thank you Gab!

[@lexylily]

First time playing bingo for me! I got all, but 5 squares filled. Only 3 bingos though. Pretty fun! Highly recommend playing along!

[@SakkaraKirax]

I am absolutely fine with bees, but wasps make me panic! Bee storytime! I was walking home in a terrible rain storm one day, and felt a really intense tickle on my leg, just below my knee. There was a fuzzy fat bumblebee clinging onto me for dear life and trying to get some shelter under the overhang of my denim skirt. I shooed it off, but it immediately went straight back to my leg. So I walked home with this bee under my knee, trying to protect it a bit with the umbrella that kept trying to rip out of my hands in the wind. My house at the time was the first in a mews so our door was under the archway of the old coaching entrance and quite well protected. I shooed the bee off again before going inside and it settled itself on the underside of the arch, where I assume it stayed until the storm ended. He was just the cutest little fuzzball and I'm glad i could help, although I expect he was *really* lost after being blown about on the storm and then going for a walk with me.

[@SnehaR1309]

Omg that’s the cutest thing ever 😭😭

[@maddieb.4282]

Check out the book Endless Forms. It describes the difference between our perceptions of wasps and bees and how that can backfire environmentally (wasps are huge pollinators, just as valuable as bees) although wasps by and large are fascinating creatures that don’t want to harm us.

[@tigerlove525]

Her interactive actually did make a couple Nancy Drew HOGs! They're the Nancy Drew Dossier ones

[@rose0189]

Man I can’t imagine going that far for some art as an artist myself it’s unfathomable

[@notsokeen]

Gosh, that bit with the pressure cylinder had me cackling! Really needed a good laugh today. Cheers to a great week ahead

[@64sunshine64]

I love the story of this! It’s so good! Some interesting puzzles that I haven’t seen before too

[@housey2]

I remember the Xanth book series being pretty good, if you cant display magic by your coming of age you are banished to the land of no magic. First book is "A Spell for Chameleon"

[@petrifiedbread5343]

This bee is jiggling it's ass like there's no tomorrow 👏

[@UntitledSpy]

The squirrel sounds in the second case sounds like the rabbits from Don't Starve.

[@hofficalz]

Strange investigations? More like dilf investigations! All jokes aside, this was a gun lil game and easy to watch! The puzzles were surprisingly well made, it was nice to wind down from work with this

[@lindseyreisker]

BB is such a chill cat.

[@BeckyJay]

I'm only 25mins in (and I've only listened on my dog walk) so I don't know if this gets mentioned but I get X Files vibes from this. Woman called Dana has a missing sister so she joins a force to look for her, and there was bees and corn fields xD

[@elzi8391]

if gabby ever were on game grumps i'd need them to do another hidden objects game. or another nancy drew game. lol

[@JJ2DAHEYHEY]

Hidden object power team right there

[@Maninawig]

Second for HOG. Cause Arin still can't do Nancy Drew.

[@jimmyrossmeissl6644]

He’s doing it on Paw-pose

[@UnlimitedPocky123]

Me staring at the bee intensely shaking its ass in bottom right corner.

[@hey-it-meghan]

I highly recommend the Dark Arcana hogs, my personal favorite was The Carnival. Very spooky

[@elvingearmasterirma7241]

Ooh im gonna check those out I love spooky ones

[@talliaconner-flores5763]

Game opens up and Gab's screaming about bees, but here I am, channeling my inner Children of the Corn.

[@kabukigames]

I was so sad when BB left and so happy when he came back haha

[@Everykittyalways]

The running animation with the arms

[@hiimdeadinside5649]

For other Hidden Object games: you could try Dark parables series 3 - 6, or Puppet Show 2 - 5.

[@RedRose-kj3dz]

I love those games I have the Dark Parables series and they're all amazing

[@TechKnowCat]

@46:14 that's a crochet hook not a knitting needle. LOL as a crocheter we tend to get our knickers in a knot when someone calls crochet knitting ...because they always do LOL wonder if knitters have the same aversion when their work is miss identified as crochet? LOL probably knot .. i mean not LOL

[@promptowithsnakebites4851]

I always get so happy when you upload hogs! Thank you!

[@dapperhatgirl1543]

It’s always a good day for a hog!!! Thank you gab !!

[@katiebarber593]

I love watching you play games and I would really love to see you play the dark parables series I would recommend playing them in order 💜

[@abbienormals1669]

2:45:29 Beebs: I boop your snoot.

[@early_morning_sd_team]

If you are looking for a good horror game to play, might I suggest Madison. It’s based around a polaroid camera.

[@mikek5977]

Binoculars with a handle = opera glasses

[@FruitiestSushi]

Riding in a dumbwaiter after just seeing the skeleton of a guy who died of suffocation in a small space is a no from me.

[@saracarman3925]

With that opening to the bonus game I thought it was going to be "Strange Investigations: Marketing"

[@nathanielking2008]

Just so you know bees don't want to sting you. Wasps and hornets are jerks and want to sting you. If a bee stings you you must of had your hand in the nest.

[@emmawells55]

My kitty gets those little tubes too she gets one everyday at 5 which is when it dogs get their treats

[@lilylovell7162]

Since you have a knack for hidden object games, you might like the Dark Parables games. It’s on big fish games, and the games themselves are fairy tale “retelling” where you play a detective, with more action to the tales. The plots and art are beautiful and the games are slightly linked together with mentions to previous cases and characters reappearing. Now the first two are called “the Curse of Briar Rose” and “The Exiled Prince”, but the games are a little older quality. But I personally started with the third game “Rise of the Snow Queen” and it didn’t affect my understanding of the plot.

[@starlightblackhole8409]

I love it when HOGs have animals in them

[@marybelkle7172]

I rarely comment on videos anymore but seeing your pretty kitty boy bat at your nose made my whole week! So adorable!

[@Tazerboy_10]

😀 I think your perception of 🐝's is wrong; I don't think 🐝's will attack or sting unless you provoke it or it directly lands on you. I understand why you would want to be catious around 🐝. Also, more if your allergic to 🐝 stings... (⬆️ - Wasps and Hornets those just straight up sting you no matter what...)

[@crystalrainfall]

The highlight of the whole video was bebe, he stole the whole show! So precious so sweet!

[@Baallbaal]

My first bingo! Sting and hook, cobwebs and duster, missing handle, oil on rust and free BB space. Hogs are my favourite!

[@marybeth0604]

This game looks really cool. I love your commentary on games like this!! You’re so funny lol.

[@MavraTealSun]

This was really neat! I hope there'll be another game too. 🌞

[@blacksoulart6991]

Ooo Sunday HOG time!!! 🤸‍♀️🙌

[@milesandhisdemons6222]

Idk why but Mr.Sheen reminds me of Preminger, the old dude from that Barbie movie “The Princess and the Pauper”. I don’t know if it’s because of the way he looks or the way he speaks but he faintly reminds me of him.

[@schmeat2717]

Strange Investigations: Not the BEES!

[@samuelball668]

If you are looking for a game with purely hidden object screens, then you should Hidden Expedition Amazon or Everist. They are pretty fun, but they are longer that the normal HOG games.

[@katjosephperez8772]

HOGs are so funny bc everyone and their businesses are messy. They just left a wrench on top of movie theater posters and junk inside of the newspaper stand and a broken cane in the catch part of a popcorn machine. THEY BOLTED HALF OF THE ENTRANCE KEY ONTO ONE OF THE MOVIE ADS!

[@Rainbowcloud91]

I love watching these videos so much ! ❤️😍

[@AianaRaven]

Not the beeees!

[@Murrlin27]

You make me giggle so much

[@BeautifulBrittanie]

i love love love loveeee when you play these games.

[@persgodiva]

Hey Gab :) There is one game from Big Fish I played years upon years ago that REALLY really spooked me. It's called Dire Grove! Maybe you'd want to check it out? It's a hidden objects game and I still remember how genuinely scared I was playing it.

[@embadly]

Her name isn’t Gabby.

[@persgodiva]

@@embadly okay? I didn't call her Gabby?

[@AmyaTatortot]

Just played this one! How cool!

[@soullesscarbon]

Definitely think Gab should check out the Enigmatis HOG series. One of my favorites that I’ve played. There’s 3 games total. Another series that was always cool is the Snarkbuster series. I forget how many games they made but I think it was probably a Big Fish Game or something. The stories have steampunk themes and you play as a person hunting this mysterious creature. I always had a blast playing them as a kid.

[@PauletteStaMaria]

Ahhh I use to play Big fish games with my sister all the time, her and I bought the Briar rose game so that we could finish it. Totatlly worth the money. I would recommend that one, please play more, these are so good.

[@dbwhab4150]

me at the beginning: becoming? MORE LIKE BEE-COMING

[@serakayle7903]

1:57:50 Denzel Freeman? Is a developer (or maybe 2 devs) a fan of Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman? Cause I'm all for it!

[@freakishuproar1168]

You know what, I haven't watched one your HOG videos for quite a while! (I'm sure I was arsing about with something else) I should remedy that :D

I love to watch hidden objects but jts bother me so much that you start to collect collectibles and often forget about them. My ADHD brain goes wild and loses interest in something ai love to watch lol. If I had been in the chat I have yelled so much there the puzzle piece where 😂🙈
