The pets really seem to like you. Thanks for playing Petscop.
PART TWO: ruclips.net/video/a5kDs8I7brs/видео.html
Yesssssssss!!!!!
Thank you bro I’ve been waiting for this one 🤞
Thanks for Petscop 2
:3
Hi
If Pyrocynical can’t do a sequel video, Nexpo will
💀💀💀
Still waiting for sheriff domestic 2 😔
Wait what? I don’t watch goofy tubers , what did he do
I'm pretty sure on a pyro stream, nexpo offered help, nice to see another gaming focused video from nexpo!
Fr bro we got it
i still find it crazy how someone had to either code or animate the gameplay like it was actually playable which is insane for the level of effort this series has
Right?!?!?!
you'd enjoy "Interloper"
It has to be a game they made. With 2017 technology it wouldn't be impossible. You just wouldn't need to make it cohesive in any way, allow the editing to gloss over any programming imperfections.
Yeah it has to be an actual game, even if it's made for the purpose of this series only. The movement, the visuals, interactions, popups, etc, I think it'd be harder to animate them than making an actual game.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282saying 2017 like it’s from the 1950s
I loved it when Paul said “now I am become Petscop, destroyer of pets” and he rode off into the sunset
The part where Paul at the end says "My name is Paul Pet, and I'm here to scop!" gives me goosebumps
And he Copped all over the Pets
when he said "it's scopping time" and started to pets everywhere
This comment has been on my mind for 2 days straight and it makes me laugh intermittently, bless you
Yeah but he pronounces it "scop" which is even better! My friends and I can't stop talking about this.
The people who makes this sort of stuff are incredibly creative.
and/or very traumatized lmao
@@sodakuwun0707Definitely both
@sodakuwun0707 the dev actually confirmed that he has no trauma, or at least nothing related to Petscop, i dont remember correctly. It was answered in their only interview
So its even more empressive that they managed to do with Petscop
@@LosManexStudio666where can we find this interview? Genuinely curious
legitimately better than almost any full-length movie
So guys we did it, finally Petscop 2
this is so epic
We had the same joke😭
wow that was quick!

Luminous He literally explained the whole situation very well, tf you on bro. Also, we’re not even allowed to reference him because of your dumbass worldview?
The man hit us with a "To Be Continued" after nearly 3 hours.
feels like the spider verse movie all over again
Learned it from pyrocynical
For Petscop, that honestly sounds about right.
well he does say halfway through the video that he is 1/3 of the way done
@linnhuman I don't remember that part, when does he say that if you don't mind?
I seriously do not recall Paul catching Amber glitching through the wall. I remember him catching her by deceiving her and waiting in her locked cell for her to jump back in.
You're not the only one
Yes, you are right. It wasn't a glitch
weird i remember both
I also remember that??? Was that video deleted and a different one posted instead??
So I just went back and watched it real quick. There's no glitch. After opening both gates, he interacts with the switch that operates the left gate, and runs in while it is closing.
The fact that the items disappear and then move around after every save makes me realize that petscop is an indie roguelike
Lol
Finally, we now have Petscop 2. Thanks, Pyro, for making us wait over almost 5 years for this.
The closest we’ll ever get 😭😭😭😭 I cant believe we’ve been blessed
Everyone was thinking it
I cannot express how giddy I am that this saga is finally going to be finished. Pyrolazical really kept us starved for so damn long
@@revolverjesus98 he's so busy being an eboi now
@@nachgeben LMAO, hes too busy with slop.
I hear the Candace Newmaker story in every Petscop video, but it still makes me cry every time. The adults treated her so inhumanely.
The worst part to me is that... I just don't see what they were trying to accomplish.
I need to read more about the supposed theory behind it, but the general concept is that they were trying to "rebirth" her, so that her parents would accept her?
If you're having trouble accepting your child, that's a terrible thing that you should deal with yourself.
But, even more than that, the torture they put her through... how does any of that have anything to do with a bond between a parent and a child?
And there's just little bits of it that make no fucking sense. They called her a quitter... Because she was still alive, I guess? What was it that she was quitting and how?
It's just fucking baffling. I'll never actually understand it, but maybe better context will help... Not sure how it could though. lol
@@bronsoncarder2491 I'm not a psych student or anything, but I think I might be able to explain... SOME of what they were supposedly going for.
So it wasn't that her parents couldn't accept her, but that Candace couldn't accept her parents. Or, more accurately, Candace's original, biological parents were abusive, so she was taken away, and then when she was later adopted by Newmaker she acted out, being aggressive and not the most obedient or stable or happy kid at first - like, you know, probably most if not every adopted kid would act. She was probably stressed, traumatised, experiencing mental illness and symptoms of such, having her whole life upended and not knowing if her new family was going to be anything like the old one. (Also I believe she was separated from her younger siblings at that point, but I could be misremembering) Also bear in mind she was I think 7 or 8 years old?
It was Jeane Newmaker, the "new mother" who was concerned or perhaps just bothered by Candace's behaviour and attitude so she started taking her to a psychiatrist. The whole "rebirthing" thing was supposed to simulate being "born" again to "meet" Jeane and thus accept her as the role of "mother". I have zero idea if this is or was even a real treatment. Like I said, not my field. Someone else can round off if this was actually a studied thing that had been implemented before? But to me it just sounds dumb.
On its own though, it doesn't sound deadly. What pisses me off is that they then put weight on her. They made it deliberately more difficult for her to do what they expected her to do, whether or not she wanted or tried to. They called her a quitter because a CHILD was unable to push HUNDREDS OF POUNDS off of herself while at the same time fighting her way out of a pile of pillows and sheets. They called it laziness, essentially. Presumed that, again an 8 year old, would understand ALL OF that psychological symbolism and then simply choose to say, "nah, being that person's child is too much effort". They simply saw it all as Candace "rejecting" her adoptive family. Instead of, her being physically unable to do so??
Make no mistake, that poor girl died because of a blatant misunderstanding of how abuse and trauma work, and the sheer EGO of at least three people. The mother was hurt that her baby wasn't settling down quick enough, and the supposed therapists were mad at her for their "treatment" not immediately working wonders. It's truly one of the most upsetting stories I've ever heard to this day.
@@superskitty9336what’s worse is they knew she was pooping and vomiting herself. and they told her to stay in it. so disgusting. there’s a transcript to the video and it makes me sick
@@polly7141 yeah I think I would have real nightmares if I read more into it than I already have. Being told to "die for real" and "quitter" was enough for me. Nexpo called it murder in the video and that's where I stand on the matter. Nothing about any of the choices made there were accidental. Maybe the final result was unintentional, but the suffering aspect was not.
@@polly7141 Just looked at the case myself and Watkins (unsure about the other sentenced 16 years) got away with only serving 7.. honestly ALL of them deserved 16 for what they did, sick and twisted bastards. There's a special place in hell for them to writhe in.
Dude, the ‘your friend was reborn as your daughter’ is a reference to his predatory attraction to them both.
damn
WHAT 😨
ew
@@28_futaba certainly
@@Myth_Investagator yeah, the main story is that Marvin is a p3do who kidnapped kids after becoming a teacher/school councilor. The ‘your friend disappeared’ is a result of Marvin victimizing her. Then, ‘your friend was reborn as your daughter’ meant that she looked like Lena and Marvin was attracted to her as well, leading to him abusing her at home and then kidnapping her once Care’s mom (Marvin’s wife and Lena’s sister) figured out what was going on and kicked him out of the house.
holy shit, i know it's a small thing, but it's so clever that to catch care nlm he has to set the treadmill to -1, thus turning "he loves me not" into "he loves me", which simultaneously is technically a lie, because it isn't physically possible for something to have -1 petals. absolutely brillaint

The words "Go ahead, die right now" coming from the mouth of one's supposed adoptive parents is such a sickening happening to think about.

Hey, CSA survivor here, that calendar gave me chills. Since this game is very obviously pointing towards child abuse, the calendar starting with some green, and increasing until it's completely green could imply the abuse started gradually and then turned into a daily affair. Again, my hypothesis, I haven't finished the video
Same! i personally don't think it would be appropriate for this to be the case (tired of this being a common horror plot) but as a survivor I feel seen almost. It isn't explicit but I feel that same feeling. especially the phrase nobody loves me
that’s a really interesting interpretation. I’m personally in the camp of thinking it’s maybe a split child custody calendar, where all the green day’s representing marvin’s custody over care, with the calendar turning all green after he kidnapped her. That’s just what stood out to me as a kid of a split custody divorce, the schedule flip flopped around pretty often before eventually i just started living with my mom full time, so seeing similar shifts reflected in the patterns on the calendar is part of what drew me towards that conclusion.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Man, I can't wait for your next vid on this gem.

Wow I had no idea! How do you people even figure this stuff out?!? So cool
I love it when Ryan breaks tone of the usual calm, worried narrator by cursing and sounding just absolutely fed up with paranormal bullshit

I like to think this man in the vid exists in a void of mystery and horror, and the friendly looking gentleman doing the ad is just incidental.
One thing you forgot to mention is that when the treadmill was set to -1 it meant that Care was loved, and that’s why in care’s description it said you lied in order to get her.

Petscop is for sure one of the best internet web series ever made. The amount of interconnectedness between seemingly unrelated videos, the eerie and dark atmosphere, the story, and the music. It definitely is the "creepy lost video game" gold standard in my book.

@@Primordialsoap I've looked it up and you're right (even though you'll find some people mistakenly calling it one). I'll change it to web series then.

A small correction at 8:33 - Paul doesn't collect Amber just by glitching through a wall. He opens both gates, then closes one, and gets in before it closes - thus locking himself in Amber's cage - before escaping through a secret passage in the side, leading to the other gate. It's a small detail, but it's relevant to the context of Amber as a character, and what "catching" her means.
I feel like he’s mentioned that before and about every RUclips I saw has said it like that. Kinda dumb he misunderstood it.
Would love to know more about how that relates to her character, is there more info in a wiki or specific video?
@@sabresister Lol, I think OP was just trying to make a stupid element of the game sound important but it came off as rather pretentious.
what's so relevant about that, just looks like a puzzle
Your comment is ok but there is something I think you forgot. IJR also has a statement, even non customers or wrestling insiders can't state otherwise, that WCW Nitro crew including Paul Heyman kidnapped Amber
Sent: Friday, June 6, 2008 4:00 am
Subject: my powerful tell during tonight's tv ad
On tonight's Nitro, an ad promoting the eBay Auction of WCW "library and more" was aired. My comment, printed in purple font, follows:
Little did World Championship Wrestling know their Nitro crew, includingPaul Heyman, kidnapped Amber during a session on April 19th of this year. Fans can attest to this fact by checking recent PPV results, Awn7mFktpB4
The most unnerving part of this whole video was 1:26:35, when you said "refill that mineral water and grab a couple string cheeses". I just refilled my tequila and mineral and ate some cheese. It feels like it ties into the recording/ predicting movement you mentioned in Petscop.
You gotta love Nexpo and his checkpoints. In one he says "if I were you, I'd grab a Monster" while I was grabbing one from the fridge near me lol
When nexpo said “grab your pp” i was spooked because my pp was already in my hand!
If the conversation about the CDs with Jill is a conversation that Paul had, he knows a Jill. If Yellow is also Care’s “color”, she has an aunt named Jill, looks like Paul, knows Care’s song, and shares the same birthday as Paul… I’m starting to think that Paul might BE Care, but successfully rebirthed, unlike Tiara. I think this game is made for Paul by Rainer to make him “wake up” like he said. It’s a stretch, especially because it doesn’t explain the difference in gender, but that’s my theory.
I think you’re absolutely right on this. I’ve been thinking the same thing since he made a note about how he looked the same
I assumed it meant Paul and Care are twins?
@@RivLabsThat could be one way to look at it.
But I wonder if Rebirthing could completely alter how someone could perceive themselves, i.e., their gender. If I understand the concept of Rebirthing right in Petscop, it could almost completely wipe away their original identity and replace it with a new one. If it can replace someone’s identity with another’s, it *could* be possible that their gender is perceived differently in their minds. How that would work when they go to the bathroom and take showers is a different thing. Maybe their mind completely blocks out their body parts? This is a HUGE “What If” thing that I don’t think I could properly explain on what all this shit could mean 😅🤦🏼♀️ Bc I’m kinda lost as fuck, ngl, even tho I’m deeply invested.
there are many cases of pacients who developed multiple identities whose gender were different from the birth sex, it is really not uncommon between cases like that.
In a recording he mentions a jill to his friend
After watching this again, I noticed something potentially chilling in Rainer's note.
At the very end of the note he says: "Fuck you all, and fuck me as well. Merry Christmas. Check your bathroom now."
We all seem to assume he means the bathroom in game, because that's what Paul does. But this could have a double meaning. Rainer could be asking them to check the house's real bathroom, that Christmas day...to check the bathroom for him.
I think Rainer killed himself in that bathroom.
With other references to Rainer being dead in the note to Tiara/Belle, and with some of his implied guilt/complicitness in Marvin's shenanigans, this would not surprise me very much. That being said, the threads I have given are unfortunately rather tenous evidence-wise, and this is just speculation. Let me know if you find anything else interesting related to this potential plot thread!
Tbh there is a bit more of evidence regarding the idea that Rainer actually DID kill himself inside that bathroom since in "Petscop Soundtrack" there is an "unused" track called "Bathroom Tomb" with the image representing it being the Ever Care's version of Marvin's House, to be exact it shows where the bathroom would be in Marvin's House
@@ellisbros6355this is more of a fact than a theory. I mean, "bathroom tomb" is as explicit as this series gets
@@ellisbros6355confirmed 😮
As if this series needed to be even more bone chilling.
great. it's midnight and now i'm scared to go pee 💀
I like how his video has no jump scares or loud noises yet the random pauses he leaves is more horrifying and unsettlingly then whatever jumpscare Ive experienced in the past
Psychological horror is truly the best
My favorite scary silence was at 7:10
lol noticing an object in care's room that was dimly lit scared the hell outta me
@@heath6802 I've been preaching this for the longest. I don't even remember when the subtle switch of me going from horror to psychological horror happened.
His well-timed pauses are absolutely top notch.
It would be infinitely hilarious if they made a spoof video of the series, but if it was a speedrunner that found the game and they just 100% fc it in like 10 minutes
"Yeah, I had the 'trauma%' WR for a few months but 'Spodermuff' took it from me. I'm working on some new strats, though, and I'm gonna take it back. People say that 'Windmill Skip' is impossible but I think I know a way to pull it off."

So I only just realized this five or six days ago, but I feel that Petscop, the game, wwas made as a tool for child psychiatry... Looking at later videos that aren't talked about yet, it seems to only make sense that Petscop HAS to have something to do with being a "tool" to help dig up repressed memories from children. The board game segment is quite evident of this. When I was very young, my school counselor would do this to me and a child I had issues with: had us play Sorry! together and ask us questions and get us to talk about why we had issues with each other. As Petscop has this exact thing later on in the series is very obvious its being used as some kind of non-verbal tool for trying to dig up something out of a child that obviously does NOT want to speak of what happened to them, I have no other idea for what Petscop ORIGINALLY was made for, and THEN was switched to being made for Marvin(maybe it's the other way around?). I also find it genuinely shocking that no one has equated the daisy getting its petals plucked to possible sexual abuse. Perhaps its just such an ugly thing to talk about, but Petscop already seems to be very in-your-face on the subject of child abuse. Not to mention the Windmill girl was obviously murdered by the "tool" in the game as you can see it begin to plunge into her and fade to black.
In the end I really think Petscop had to have been used as some kind of psychology tool for children, due to the debug mode being used to record what these other children/people were doing in this game and the fact you can find it in the game itself, surrounded by all these other televisons in what seems to almost be some kind of game testing area.

I love so much how smart of a character Paul is. He's a detective, unafraid of the eerie content within. He makes the immediate connection that Petscop is more than just lost media. It's meant FOR him. At first, shocked to see direct connections to him, but he quickly rationalizes what's going on. Paul is absolutely one of my favorite youtube ARG-style story characters
He made petscop for me, it literally would not be the same without him. His method of discovery but ambiguous nature of his information is was keeps me hooked

"To catch her to had to lie"

I know that laugh, for I have done it, too...I think even literally, by this point.
I bet the WoW folks are wheezing on the floor right now.
I remember when Petscop was this little known hidden gem, back when no one knew it was a ARG. It was a lot of fun, people at first interacted with Paul like a normal Let's Player, giving him ideas on what to do, it was great, but best of all, it was incredibly eerie. It could've just been me though, I find old or glitchy 90s CG super creepy. Man... I miss Paul's stereotypical nerd🤓voice...
The meta of the entire Petscop series is pretty insane when you think about it, an entire game created by "Paul." and everything in it was purposeful, the glitches, the "random" events and way in which the game is talked about is all done to sell the idea that this game is real, truly masterful work. I can't imagine how much time was put behind the scenes.
It is art through and through. Petscop has haunted me and stayed in the back of my mind for yearsss!! Anything that can do that to a person is an incredible piece of art. 🖤
There’s a lot of interesting story telling formats that have been coming out recently through ARG’s
The guy doing the player is so convincing, like almost every bit of commentary feels super on-point in both the voice and the writing. You can really tell that whoever did this really grew up with old LP's to get the vibe of things down like this.

this video has been an insane roller coaster. It's fucking crazy and interesting and confusing. Ive been so damn intrigued by it the whole time and then the moment and I mean the *MOMENT* you mentioned Soma I almost burst into tears.

Thank you so much for giving such a shoutout to it because that game has had such an impact on my life and I desperately want others to experience the emotional rollercoaster that is that game.

I think at its core, this is the story of family secrets. What happens when “keeping it in the family,” “us vs them,” “don’t let anyone see we’re not perfect” morphs into being complicit to something truly evil. There’s no way the family didn’t know to some degree or capacity. I refuse to believe that *no one* had an inkling that something was off about Marvin and how he treated his daughter and wife. They saw it but they kept it quiet because that’s what you do. You keep family problems in the family. Don’t involve police, don’t show your dirty laundry, don’t show anyone outside of the family the truth. It sounds so ridiculous like if they thought for a moment that he could hurt his daughter of *course* they’d do something! But no. Family’s like this are the reason we have the “creepy uncle” stereotype that was so prevalent in pop culture in the past (thankfully were moving past it in the last decade but this is still a thing that happens and that some families just accept, putting the responsibility on the young kids to not wear “provocative” clothes and shit like that). The level of delusion that’s possible when you refuse to accept that there are serious issues in your family, is truly hard to fathom. These are the people who stand by their relatives when their accused of rape or murder or kidnapping etc. despite the evidence, the witnesses, the verdict. Care and Michael and Bella never had a goddamn chance.
Oh fuck this is way too relatable and i hate that as the victim in my scenario
That is why teaching children what good touch bad touch is and that people of the same sex as them can also abuse them and such. And what abuse even means so that these monsters can gets what is due.
That makes sense.
I’m the despised black sheep in my family because I don’t give a fuck, if someone is immensely shitty I’ll shout it
and they’ve never programmed me with that “keep secrets and present a perfect image” shit
Fuck that noise

Well that was fantastic, thank you! I'm actually glad I missed this upload so I can go straight onto part 2. Also as another massive SOMA fan I wanted to mention something: The brain scans in SOMA really *were* just intended to be used to simulate medical treatments and their outcomes for each individual person's brain, I don't think there was any shady or malicious intent behind them. It was only after the impact that the scans were retrieved and essentially misused by the WAU to produce new 'living' conscious entities with all the questionable ethics that entails. At least that was my take. Incredible game I think about a lot.
I remember when Petscop came out on RUclips, I was so convinced it was real, as I was only 13 or so. This documentary is so easy to follow and really wraps everything neatly into a gift for viewers to enjoy. Thank you Nexpo, I will 100% be checking you out more often. :)
(You also have a witty style of content, love it!)
The completely authentic PS1 aesthetic, the genius synchronicity of scripted events, the incredible symbolism, the nuanced use of mechanics to reveal the story, the odd blend of 2D and 3D, the speed run-like button recreation, and everything in between cement this "game" as the greatest portrayal of meaning in the history of modern digital "punk" art.

@@TheElectricCheeseProductions22 That looks dubious to me. What do you think?
My take on the whole thing with Care's father, or at least his obsession with her, is that he originally wanted to be with the sister that 'vanished' but settled on his current wife. They had a daughter that looked somewhat like the vanished sister and the dad's fucked mind believed it was his 'second chance' to be with the woman he actually wanted. So he thought about her in the bath, he got excited over something that was perhaps similar to the sister's behavior, and kidnapped Care to groom her into being the person he wanted and do whatever monsterous things to her.
Well damn

Eerily enough, there is actually a real story who married his own daughter and eventually killed her as well.

(I think the Pets have very faint connections to the human characters)
The quitter part is actually crazy. The programming required to make the mirror image copy you but not quite get it right would have to be extremely complicated.
Considering that it isn’t a real game that part could just be a cutscene entirely. Or it could just have a follow player/don’t follow player movement mode
@@rsh9032 who says it isn't a real game exactly?
@@MidRankedDeity From what I understand, it isn't. No playable version has been released despite it being several years since the videos were uploaded. Excluding fan made games of course. It would be much easier to make a basic walking sim in some free engine and have certain triggers set up for basic events, while also having cutscenes or animations for more complex movements. Sure, it could all be coded, but that would be a large time investment alongside recording, scripting, and editing these videos.
Mirroring in that era was also done on Bomberman Hero N64
But Lore wise the lettering is correct on left and reversed on players side
It's quite easy actually. Here's one way that it could be done :
The mirrored characters is a second player object with a different sprite. Store the player movement in an array and reverse it by adding a *(-1) in the player input and add a delay when a trigger hit.
The array allow to still mimic Paul movement 1:1 but with 1 step delay so you see the two synchronize when paul stop moving.
Edit : it seems that the movement is only reversed for left-right.
Fun fact : in old 3d games, mirrors were expensive to render so they duplicated and mirrored the room ( usually a bathroom ) and the mirror is just a window to that other room. I think silent hill did it.
Tsk. I had to get my headphones out for this. Your BGM choices are always so on point.
Perfectly balanced between "RE4 safe room loop" and "help, my spine is attempting to flee my body."
Thanks to you, that Survival Spheres channel is now on my playlist, and their Bandcamp discography is in my cart. XD
Also, the moment you said "Don't touch that dial" at the end of arc one, I waited on pins and needles for THE ENTIRE INTERMISSION, just to cheer like a dork when you finally said "getting started." Because anything that even tangentially reminds me of P.T. fills me with joy.

I'm at around 1:36:00 and I want to write down a thought to see if it's right. Marvin and his wife divorced and had split custody of Care. At first they switched custody every other day. But then they changed to Marvin having custody on weekends and his ex-wife having custody during the week. On June 5th, 1997 Marvin kidnapped Care, and then she escaped and returned to her mother on November 10th.

@@offthetrail636there’s definitely a few tiny details that go unsaid you could just watch the videos on the Petscop channel or check out pyro’s analysis
How many years passed since Petscop ended...? Nostalgia's hitting man.
The "room impulse" menu is full of "impulse responses," which are ways to characterize the acoustics of a room when a very simple sound is played in them. They can be used to make a sound heard as if it were played inside that room. The "gen." parameter likely allows you to choose a sound to test the effects of the impulse response.
35:50 I just wanted to say thank you for making sure to include this information. The Petscop story is one of my favorites web horrors but i always get a bit worried when people find the Numaker connection and suddenly hijacks the story's lore for that of a "True Crime" AU.
All stories are up to the reader's interpretation, but its good when the author is able to encourage or discourage particular readings of a text.
Yup and Tony even apologized for using a real, murdered child in his arg-he definitely wasn’t trying to make it about her
1:45:42 "I'll come out in a minute. Keep playing" and then later when Paul checks the description for Care A, which presumably was the big moment the game was leading up to, it says "Check your bathroom now". Idk if you'll ever get back to this, but it's strongly implied that Rainer offed himself in that bathroom after showing the game to the family.
Wait woah im really interested
Mind briefly explaining how it is implied that rainer offed himself??
@@starsreachshreya2017 i think its the combination of the tone of the message (fuck you all and fuck me as well. merry christmas. check your bathroom now) and that to get to this dialogue, paul has to jump into the bathtub. you could interpret that as drowning himself
@@fiend-ish1090 exactly. Rainer prevents them from checking on him prematurely by saying that he’ll come out soon. Then at the crescendo moment he pretty much orders them to check on him, because he won’t be able to come out himself since he’s dead. It’s the tone of the message and the sequence of calls to action that Rainer makes that made me think this, plus the importance of the in game moment of catching Care A and shining light on Marvin’s crimes.
2:22:40 I have a thought about what that censor could’ve been. Firstly, I think it was a text box.
Secondly, this connects back to the other “caskets”(the censored items). One of the caskets was related to a chalkboard.
It’s description is…
“Five words. Written on a chalkboard, in the dirty building you inhabit.” (We later see that in petscop 23, this refers to a chalkboard in the school).
I believe that those five words written on the chalkboard was a question central to petscop.
*Do You Remember Being Born?*
And I believe that that is what the censor was at the end of Petscop 14. The game asked him “Do you remember being born?”. and I think the reason why it unnerved him so much was because it was the moment he realized that Care was meant to represent him in the game. I believe this because we’ve seen this question in the Quitter’s room, more than likely being for Belle. And Belle, as we have assumed, is a victim of Marvin (and possibly Rainer) trying to rebirth her into Tiara.
So, hear me out, according to Nexpo’s explanation, Care was never a real person. Care was meant to represent Paul. And that when Marvin and Anna had a child, it was a boy, who they named Paul. Marvin couldn’t stand this, and he tried to essentially force Paul to be like Lina, doing things like showing Paul his reflection in a flower vase and describing his “grisly deformities”, and possibly plucking his eyebrows. Now, the connection between Paul and Belle is that Belle was a victim of attempted rebirthing because she fought back against, and in Marvin’s eyes, she was a quitter. So like her, Paul was not what Marvin wanted him to be and thus, would also be seen as a quitter by Marvin. And So the censor in Petscop 14 asking Paul “Do You Remember Being Born?” unnerved him so much because it was the moment when everything clicked. The flower vase, the conversation care had with her mom paralleling a conversation he had with his mom, and finally, this question, first directed at Belle, is now directed at him, almost like the game is asking him if he remembers the abuse he suffered as a child. “Do you remember being born?”.
Sorry for the long comment!
Love this theory
@@palmerscott23 thank you!
I can actually hear the fear in his voice and when the warning said "amnesia" he said "I don't remember" he clearly is losing himself in the game to be honest
About your final point:
Compare it to Black Mirror's "White Christmas" episode. That punishment of being stuck alive in the virtual world for thousands and thousands of years would be torment, yes, but that's because it's powered on. If we look at Simon in SOMA, all of that time passed without him even perceiving it because he simply wasn't connected to something that was powered on. Like sleeping without dreaming, Simon could elect to just crush/deactivate his new body, and he wouldn't be trapped forever, he'd just stop being.
For Petscop, if you melt down the memory card and the disc, nobody would be trapped, right?
The best episode imo

I know this is just an elaborate and genius gourmet creepy pasta, but this just makes me yearn for a sandbox game that just progressively gets weirder and weirder the more you discover and peel back each layer. You could happily play the base sandbox game filled with hundreds or thousands of different activities from tons of different genres. But with with each activity, the longer you stay the weirder things start to get, and it leads you down a rabbit hole. And as everyone starts to discover all of them they just keep stacking up and leading to crazier and crazier stuff. So fun.

I find it interesting that the main events of the game are apart in 20 year gaps, Lina’s death in 1977, Care’s kidnapping in 1997, the creation of the channel and Paul’s playthrough in 2017. For it to be consistent and this precise has to mean something, knowing petscop, but I honestly can’t pinpoint to what exactly.
Idk if it's this but the average generational gap is around 20 years.. maybe symbolism around intergenerational trauma, made more precise to 20 years like that to fit the themes of time repetition?
And 20 seconds before Tool responds to the question “Who are you?”
Waiting to see what happens in 2037 😊
@@finn_in_the_bin5263 yep, I think the time gaps being 20 years represents that a generation has come and gone. If we’re to assume that the characters are at least 10-12 while the events happened, the characters that were alive in 1977 would be around 50 in 2017, those alive in 1997 would be at least 30 in 2017, which should mean that a generation has passed. But each generation doesn’t heal from it because of petscop, aka the story being retold, either through verbal recounts or active abuse which are like the abuse of Marvin

The channel seems to have been deleted but from I remember it was videos of a guy talking about his life with people in the background sitting on a couch motionless and every video had a different person/people on the couch. I can't remember exactly what he talked about as this happened a while back but I remember thinking that it was related to Petscop. I vaguely remember videos talking about his mother/his home life, giving updates about his life, and introducing/talking about the people on the couch.
