- In this video game essay I delve deep into the intricacies and hidden meanings layered within the amazing indie game Sable. Whilst it has its shortfalls when it comes to technical robustness, the core meaning and messages within the game struck a chord with me.
This video will tell you about why Sable meant so much to me, and how it packs so much meaning into it's world using the limited tools and resources at their disposal. Please check out this game for yourself, you won't regret it.

Hi all, hope you enjoy this video! Bit of a different one than usual as it's a bit more about my own experiences than anything else. As usual, please sound off in the comments if you have anything else you'd like me to make a video on! Thanks for watching
I'm glad you were able to do what I always wanted: show hundreds of people how great Sable is and that it's more than just a game.
Please, everyone who is thinking about playing Sable, do it; don't spend another second thinking about it and go play the game.
It was worth every second I spent playing it and I feel like my life has changed ever since then.
To Watki, my favorite Sable song is Badlands (Daytime)- this is besides the masterpiece song when you leave the tutoral (which i won't spoil either)
I was in a similar boat to so many people with Sable. I had heard good things about it but kind of played it on a whim, and was so glad that I did. Totally agree on this game being life changing, and unpacking how it really made me feel in this video was really cathartic in a way.
In terms of my favourite song, I love the different energies you can get from Better The Mask or Beetle Detour - Japanese Breakfast has such wide range. But the one that always sticks with me is the Main Menu theme. Loading the game up and having that piano play really set a tone I wasn't expecting initially, and intrigued me to play even more.
Great video :)
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Sable is a weirdly fantastic game. When I was playing it, it didn't feel *that* special moment-to-moment, but when it came to the ending, everything kind of came together and the final choice of mask felt incredibly impactful all of a sudden. It's something I've rarely felt with other games.
Exactly how it felt for me, I was going through the motions like I would any other game, but when I reached the end it made me realise all those little side quests I was doing really added up to something meaningful and character defining for Sable - it was such thoughtful game design to make that possible.
Hi, Watki. I have a pretty good eye for up-and-comers in the CZcams creator world. Repeat this quality of video with other popular titles at least twice a month and I wouldn't be surprised to find you with more than 10K at the end of the year. Until then, you have at least one more subscriber today. I hope my full watch time helps you with the algorithm.
Thanks, appreciate the kind words! I definitely have a few more videos in the works for the next couple months, stay tuned :)
