Wow Pyro, I am truly impressed. This video went an entire minute without a Breaking Bad reference, instead it took a staggering 67 seconds. You have outdone yourself yet again, amazing.
As you mentioned I was a little worried that this was going to be too much of a retread of Power Pak's video, but only 4 minutes in, your humor and those slick animatics add a totally new spin to this story.
Pyro actually research stuff for his video, Power Pak says in the video that GZDoom doesn't remove limitations from Doom, if he took the time to do a 5 seconds Google search he would discover that yes it does, is the whole appeal of the fucking sourceport. On the other hand Pyro mentions and explains in various moments how the mod is working and even recommend DavidXNewton that made very good videos going into a obscene amount of depth about how the mod works (also he is responsible for organizing the biggest community mapping project of the year Ramp 2023), just goes to show how Pyro at least care enough to research what he is talking about instead of just playing the thing and reading forums like Power Pak did. Power Pak video is pure lazy retrospective garbage that is flooding RUclips right now and people are praising just because the run time is long. Pyro did a way better job and there's nothing worth to return to Power Pak video.
7 minutes in and I'm already amazed. The animations, CDawg's incredible VA, the trapper's theme and the petscop 2 bait literally make this video perfect.
too be honest I had no clue, I just saw his name in the description and was blown away that he could do that. Ik he is a voice actor but holy shit.@@AlanLin1995
Finally, after so much time we finally got Petscop 2. This analysis ABSOLUTELY was worth the wait. And the Petscop 3 teaser at the end... I simply cannot wait another 10 years for it! Thank you Pyro!
It's gotta be such a cool feeling to put all of this time into a project only to have people actually spend the time to learn the entire lore. There was such a huge possibility that no one noticed the project. So hopefully the creator is enjoying seeing all the vids
The entire My House story being about Steve’s personal life and all the theories being wrong is the biggest revelation I’ve seen in a Pyro video, ever.
Except Cruelty Squad -- such a long wait, and 50% of the video ended up being either padding and/or Pyro projecting onto the dev who turned out not to have put nearly as much thought into the game as Pyro expected lmao
@@AmorphousGoob What? Gwen's scene literally had the trans flag colors as the background, and its about her parent potentially not accepting her for being spider-man (literally replace spider-man with trans/their gender). If anything, it's a little too on the nose.
what if demons in the bathroom is just a poop joke, like when you take a gnarly shit and someone hearing you describes it like "that man fighting demons in there"
56:54 plane doors are actually designed specifically so that a large pressure difference will hold them shut. If the door is able to be opened, the pressure difference would have to be insignificant and wouldn't suck you out.
You forgot a little detail about the house right from the start: it has elevated floors right under and above. This normally isn't possible in the engine, meaning he used his map making wizardry to give the illusion of a second floor.
@@cringe__6040 it's using a variety of tricks, 3d floors, silent teleports, non-euclidean geometry. major arlene has done a bunch of stuff in doom so i think you're a little silly for trying to correct her :V
Dear Pyrocinical, the world's sexiest lesbian. The gap between Half Life 1 and Half Life 2 releases was 6 years and 3 days. The original Petscop review was posted 6 years and a month ago. You have exceeded the time you had to make a sequel, the internet will not forget this...
I find this deeply disturbing, not because of the horror nature of the game, but because it's just so intimate and a full display of trauma. Im glad to have witnessed it, but I still feel like an intruder on this story.
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote: "The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong" ~ Carl Jung
@@StrawberryCowMoo "I had bad thing happen to me and now its game" is far from the deep revelation you make it out to be. Maybe take your own advice and stop being a little twink in the comments.
I like the idea that there is some sort of entity influencing his desire to keep developing the map, because that means in the story there is a point where an unknown error occurs and both he and the entity are sitting there frustrated for hours on end just trying to understand what possibly is breaking the file.
1:11:38 actually the bfg is not as random as one might assume. It fires one big ball, and then it fires 40 invisible tracers in the direction of where the ball was fired, provided you are looking in the same direction still
They say the actual fear in the horror genre comes from the anticipation of something dreadful happening instead of the actual scare, and boy did the wall Shrek and the staircase accomplish that perfectly.
some games technically arent classified as horror, because there is no scary monsters or any real jumpscares, but instead, do the horror using atmosphere and ambient noises. A great example of this is G-string, specifically G-string:Beta, because it builds such a horror esque atmosphere using heavy film grain (to give a washed out, dilapidated, radiated look) while still making us remember that this is what most of America is now, but instead of total collapse, plenty of people live in the urban hellscape of a city that G-string:Beta presents us with, just that they are barricaded inside their homes so that they don't have to deal with the brutal government and cops and radiation. Also it takes inspiration from brutalist architecture, and mangas like Blam!, which also make great use of brutalist architecture. It too, utilise z "dread over fear" like pyro said in this vid.
To make up for the 6 years he made us wait for Petscop, he made a video about a topic that everyone and their dead grandmother know about, truly extraordinary content
At least he saw through the IT WAS A TRANS RELATIONSHIP nonsense when nothing about the game or other information once indicated that, but so many videos hedged their bets on that single thing.
I’m genuinely impressed at how much I can enjoy this video despite having watched the genuinely excellent Power Pak video. The attention to details that were missed in that video makes this work almost as a perfect sequel. Something that works amazingly on its own, and in the context of someone who has already learned most of the secrets of the mod.
34:15 is actually a reference to the bathroom in the airport house. The seventh image in the second screenshots folder is a hint to the same thing. If you keep the entrance to that bathroom clean while covering the rest in blood, you get the BFG in the picture, hence the "big fucking reward" mentioned in the cheat message.
The similarities with House of Leaves were uncanny from the start, but seeing the Navidson realty sign confirmed it for me - it's not just an inspiration, it's an echo.
Seriously in love with how this video was edited, the animation, the voice acting and the overall structure of the video felt so great. I look forward to more videos like these.
She got the house, the dogs, and likely the daughter based on the references to the still-born baby. While the man literally lost everything and moved far away only being able to create a doom mod to cope. Classic American divorce
dosent mean it didnt cuase hers to also break, i dont think its smart, nor worth the time to speculate whos the worse person in the situation, as frankly its none of our buisness, and the lack of information and knowledge in the situation, we dont and never will know why they split up, so its best to not dwell on that
Woman: Oh I think he took it just fine! We're still good friends. _cut to man hanging from ceiling fan_ But seriously, it is interesting how often divorces play out that way.
The ending of the video is actually so sad just knowing that the creator has done it over a divorce and just filled it with so many memories of his previous life he used to enjoy. But if he were to enter it again it would be DOOM
...huh? Like the animation of a literal black stick figure on a white background during the mirror story? If this impressed you so much, don't watch Astartes. Your tiny little twelve year old pea brain might explode.
Nothing could have prepared me for the theory that the MyHouse pk3 map was Steve's personal trauma loop, or at least that's what I thought before I realised *nothing* could have prepared me for the conclusion of the video. "Happiness has to be fought for" is such a profound message in itself. The idea that a house is only a home with people in it, the fact that life is a series of blank slates filled with memories and the fact that choosing how to deal with your issues is the most important part of moving on, is something so relatable. The idea that, at the end of the day, it's either fight for your happiness or keep reliving your trauma. It's not just trauma from a single event either, life isn't that simple, every problem in your life compounds and builds until sometimes it feels like it's too much. There are so many opportunities where you could pull yourself away from the path of true happiness, even after living a full life - like with the ending where the house is sold and the one where it's sold after collecting all of the items - but if Steven let his problems conquer him - retreating, in an attempt to wipe the slate clean (like with the sold house endings) - he might as well have died when his friend "did", as shown on the tombstone with the QR code. Personally, I think this is the most important messages you could get out of this ARG. Even if his friend wouldn't actually have died, and it was some other big traumatic even (or series of small ones), choosing to wipe the slate clean would be an incomplete way of dealing with it. There is no "final chapter" in your life, like with the "fake beach" ending, which I believe symbolises the desire for all your troubles to end / to feed into the trauma by running away from everything instead of dealing with it. If he had chosen to "wipe the slate clean" or made an attempt to conclude that phase of his life as something separate / that he can just get rid of by running away instead of fighting for his happiness *despite* all the things that went wrong in his life - his stillborn baby being the worst, assuming that was his (as part of the arg hopefully and not a real mishap), then he might as well have died when it all became too much. For example, if the final straw that made him completely broke down was Thomas' death, like was implied in game by the his own Obituary on the Gravestone in one of the Sold House endings. You can take comfort in others, like he may have done with Amy, but even the good moments can end totally separately to the other bad things in your life. His separation (despite being on good terms) is probably one of the things he's struggling with as he's shown by a few of the artifacts' messages and locations. Like with the wedding ring being incredibly hard to reach and the baby bottle saying "it wasn't meant to be", you could even tie an Airport miscarriage theory into this (which would be a pretty messed up reason to have that part of the map... I still wonder what that shirt could have been). All of these problems piling up on each other may make you want to break down or spiral infinitely out of control. Something that once made you feel safe or secure could one day be the same thing that makes you cry down the road. It may make you want to deny that these things have happened, like your life is a movie with chapters that can just be concluded. But you won't find happiness if you just try to mimic what you want happiness to look like. You'll just live the rest of your life with an emptiness inside, eating away at you until all that's left is the wish that things could have been different (like they are in your dreams). Which is why the fake beach ending is in the mirror world, it's imaginary happiness. The winking Steve in the mirror and the winking Steve standing at the beach feeling fulfilled felt like a completely unattainable reality, which is why he dreamt of these dream/mirror Steve's and himself as different people. But, there's nothing separating you and the you you see in your dreams besides the actions that you take and the ones the you in your dreams had taken to reach that point (you don't see these, you just see the results)... The "you" you could be, who could be living your best life and the you who you are right now are only separated by the fact that you could either wish for / imagine that happiness or you could be doing everything you can to try attain it. Maybe what Steve needed at first was to work on the MyHouse pk3, getting all his thoughts out there, but eventually it became something unrecognisable to just being his friends' house and something that was once therapeutic began to eat away at him. The map grew along side his changing dreams, then he started implementing these dreams, then it got to the point where they were a world apart from what he originally planned. He wanted to make a tribute to his friend but ended up making a tribute to his mistakes, tainting his memories until finally realising that the ending all this horror needed was to let the map end with one last *big fight*, finally concluding on the same beach that he saw himself standing on. Letting the player, who is actually Steve, fight for their happiness and finally escape that place (with his doggie). I don't know Steve personally but he made a very good ARG with a very good message.
This mod is incredible in it’s story telling. Even keeping “in canon” so to speak and “in story”, ignoring the direct parallels to the creator’s real life, the story is still deeply powerful and moving. A man consumed by grief and sadness for the loss of his friend, becoming trapped in the memories and emotions of it. He tries to deny it ever happened and forget it by crossing out dreams of the fire (which presumably killed his childhood friend) and literally having an un-killable fire demon block him from his happiness, directly linking to his friend’s death, but in many endings before you discover the true ending, the house just vanishes or burns down. He can’t avoid the memories or change the past, it’s a harsh snap to reality. He needs to accept the past and move forward to find true peace and happiness after the grief. It’s only by reliving the painful memories through objects from their past and processing everything that he can fight for and ultimately find happiness from the grief from losing his friend. Replace childhood friend with ex-wife/love and it still fits hauntingly well.
The funny thing about memories when in trauma-brain is that they actually do all loop around, criss cross on top of each other and become muddled like this. A memory of a specific moment can become tainted with little details from before and after that paint a larger picture than the moment is able to, compounding the trauma vibes. Sorry for th eineloquence lol - I just love how perfectly women the mental turmoil is into the gameplay experience, as you said.
Finally finding out what actually happened to bring this map into reality is so incredibly fulfilling. The theories were great, but knowing what kind of emotional triggers it takes for a work of such genius to come to fruition is so much better.
I see it quite the opposite way. The guy worked his ass off to make a cryptic game, people were creating cool theories and trying to figure the game out with their own interpretation. Only for her to outright say "it's actually about us and our house :)" for a miniscule amount of tiktok clout. In my opinion it takes away from the project. Same reason why creators such as David Lynch often don't want to explain their stuff or magicians their tricks.
@@Kuba-L32she probably saw it trending, then contacted steve. Maybe even asked permission with him if he's okay with her coming out. Maybe steve told her about this arg before it came out and gave her a permission to talk about it
@Kuba-L32 But the game WAS about them. It's ok if you like things with no clear answer, but this actually had one. Not to mention, it could be seen as quite the opposite. Imagine breaking up with someone, only for them to recreate your house and details of your relationship in a mod, and release it to the public. From the first post Pyro showed it seems she had shown the house on tiktok with no connection to the mod and people didn't believe she lived there because of the mod. The mod forced itself into her life, not the other way around. Now I don't blame the guy. Maybe he just thought people wouldn't make the connection, or maybe they talked about it beforehand.
The marriage being real absolutely blew my mind, amazing work Pyro as always 🤯, makes me think is the friend actually real and he’s swapped names/fictionalised him to help get over it, seeing him as a character in a story would help I guess

Clicked on this out of curiosity and ended up watching the entire video to completion. Very well made and the voice over work for the notes is a nice touch. I like the raw opinions and emotions, as well as the present speech used to avoid making it feel like a review, this felt like walking through the story with you. I also liked the twitch clips shared to show the honest reaction and emotions. Would also say I loved when the mention of nothing came up, as if to say the dullness or quiet is so loud that it itself creates dread. Very good video. Surprised a dude I used to watch play subnautica while talking about keemstar evolved to make this cool content.
Y'know, it almost gives the same feeling that The Beginner's Guide gives, especially with the relationship between Steve and Tom mirroring that of Davey and Coda. While not a perfect parallel, the sense of someone trying to "fix" their friend's unfinished work while unintentionally letting their own feelings seep into the work is reminiscent in a way I can only struggle to explain.
wow, the animation and storytelling in this video is such a step up from your previous videos, good job to you and all the people you worked with on this video!
His old friend was the happier him, through you fighting your way to the final and good ending, it symbolises him and you have fought to regain that happiness.
Yup that’s it! Happiness is something you fight for, I think all of us have gone through something or situations that were traumatic that change us for the worse, but it’s always a choice, a choice of how we’re going to deal with it or what are we going to do to move from it, for better or for worse.
cdawgva is an excellent voice actor and am happy that pyro recognized him as a good voice actor by featuring him in the cruelty squad and this video too
I'm glad there's a real true end with explanations in real life, but I also love how convoluted and neat the whole game is. House of Leaves is amazing and this mod captures a lot of what makes that book so good. Bravo, and bravo on finding Amy. It really was just a lot simpler than anyone allowed themselves to think.
It's masterfully created in that people can craft their own theories based on their own life experiences. And also really nice to see the absolute detail he laid down by intermingling the story about his "friend" as well as his true life with his ex-wife. Definitely one of the best mods ever made of anything.
Seriously brother, I hope you're expanding your repertoire of projects, your work is absolutely phenomenal at a very core level, something about the smallest things really stands out (I don't know nearly enough about content creation to explain, but the effort you put in really shows, and I hope you're being made offers from larger agencies than RUclips for your creative talents)
Wholeheartedly agree, these type of videos show how immensely talented Pyro is. His creativity really manages to shine through when he puts his all into something.
Really good video, but just wanna shout out I absolutely adore how you included a clip of Darkwood at 31:30 when you said ''its dread over fear, which is a great subversion'' considering Darkwood is simultaneously one of the most terrifying horror games I've ever played, along with not having a single jumpscare.
This started killing me towards the end, I’m going through a divorce, not even sure when the next time I’ll see my son is, and still stuck in the same house with all of their stuff around me constantly reminding me of them, it’s seriously killing me, I can genuinely relate to the map maker
I just imagine pyro working on this video through endless nights of studying a 29 year old game's mod, hiring voice actors to narrate the diaries and comissioning furry art to then recieve comments like "slopcynical" and "im glad that you made petscop 2"
honestly all of the latest main chanell pyro videos have been amazing and you can really see how much effort pyro puts in the videos with the animations
I was aware of the House of Leaves inspiration, but not of the story that came with the map... Amazing. I feel like this is one of those things that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life
The editing, references and sound design are 10/10 as usual, had me wheezing multiple times! I love the inclusion of all the different OSTs, and especially Skibidi Toilet
Pyro did an amazing job in finding, exploring, and analyzing all the secrets in this map. That ending revelation is crazy. Connor's voice acting is so crazy I didn't recognize him at all. When I play these games, in a way part of me doesn't want to believe that the reality of this game is this personal until I know for sure. The other theories are easier to entertain, but this one is like breaching in someone's privacy, but worse, knowing that this person who made the piece of work you are consuming has gone through hell, and what you had just experienced didn't come from fiction. It was all real. It was so bad you are inclined to believe it's fiction, but it really wasn't. It's the same feeling you would get if you found out that Cry of Fear was an exploration into the mind of the developer.
I mean he wasn't the first to find any of this, and I highly doubt he banged his head against it until he organically figured out some of the more cryptic portions. Very good video on it tho
Dang this has to be one of the best Pyro videos to date, the editing is top notch, the addition on CDawg as a VA and the animations was way better than reading a txt file and putting that on the screen. Just like how the game immerses the player, the video immerses the viewer
This video is definitely my favorite. I find myself saying that to every video you post on these things. It’s incredible to see how passionate you are about these games that other people would know nothing about. Incredible work Pyro
I'm glad you highlighted all the theories from the mod and not just took one theory It really helps understanding all the different aspects of the maps more
@constantinmoeller7411 unless Steve comes out and says anything, the usual way to go about these types of works is that it is meant to have many, equally valid interpretations, no one true better interpretation, the point is to interpretate
Watching Pyro's indie horror vids feels like I'm watching TikTok rediscover stuff that popped up on on another social media first. Dude provides an essential service.
The best horror in my eyes are the ones that start off with you doing typical stuff and you still doing typical stuff for large chunks of it, while the spoopghost stuff slowly creeps in gradually and fleetingly.
32:30 The stairwell is required to transit between the mirror/flood/concrete house versions to collect all the items. It's non-liminal corridor, a part of the puzzle
Are there? House -> Burned down house -> End House-> Daycare -> House House Mirror -|-> Gas Station -> End House -> Concrete houses House -> Flooded House -> Stairwell Flooded house -> Concrete Houses Concrete houses -> Stairwell Concrete houses -> Airport -> House Stairwell -> House What am I missing? @@Duvi0
I remember being physically terrified after watching PowerPaks video, that weird feeling that haunted me and felt almost irreversible, until next day when I immediately found someone speedrunning MyHouse with the lawnmower from the boomer mod, then it instantly vanished lol
Not to pry into this amazing story/mod creator's life but are we sure he really divorced on good terms with his ex-wife, at least at first? To make such a heartfelt game as this, I can't shake the feeling that he really did struggle with the divorce and it forced him to mull over his entire life in a bout of depression for quite some time. There must be some reason for the "date of death". Only for him to fight his way out of the depression and regain his happiness again, by seeing that he could enjoy the small things within his control. Just something to consider.
The split happened pretty soon after Tom's death so it was probably the "double whammy," not as devastating on her end. He probably felt like it was another sign "it's all falling apart" though and collapsed further into himself. The date of death being different than the *real* date of death is I would guess is when *he felt he died*
Pyro I love what you are doing man. You've always been my favourite and to see you innovating and wrapping up the narrative in exactly the same punchy, emotional and atmospheric ending I was hoping for. Keep it up, I already watched cruelty squad 3 times end to end and somehow never got bored, I fkn LOVE YOU!!! Best of wishes!
Wow, that reveal at the end was fantastic! I adore how My House has so many interpretations, because hell, even the real world story doesn't totally tie up to the game's narrative. In. In a strange way, S has made a trauma experience so universal that everyone can read into the game and find something different out of it . Great video
Ive seen both the Pak and Pyro videos and after that I've found my own meaning from the map and its really cemented my idea that this is a work of art. Its just vague enough to be subjective in its messaging
Wow, theory 6 really got to me. The entire video was amazing but the theory that the entire game was the playthrough of someone elses trauma loop is hauntingly immersive. It gives the entire game a feel of being something greater. Especially when paired with the journal entries of his traumatic experiences. plus le epic wendigoon moment
I love how this map was disguised as a simple remake of someones house, if no one dug into this map properly it could've gone completely under the radar.

Pyro actually research stuff for his video, Power Pak says in the video that GZDoom doesn't remove limitations from Doom, if he took the time to do a 5 seconds Google search he would discover that yes it does, is the whole appeal of the fucking sourceport. On the other hand Pyro mentions and explains in various moments how the mod is working and even recommend DavidXNewton that made very good videos going into a obscene amount of depth about how the mod works (also he is responsible for organizing the biggest community mapping project of the year Ramp 2023), just goes to show how Pyro at least care enough to research what he is talking about instead of just playing the thing and reading forums like Power Pak did.
Power Pak video is pure lazy retrospective garbage that is flooding RUclips right now and people are praising just because the run time is long. Pyro did a way better job and there's nothing worth to return to Power Pak video.

Halfway through the video. Waiting for the big reveal at the end.

It's gotta be such a cool feeling to put all of this time into a project only to have people actually spend the time to learn the entire lore. There was such a huge possibility that no one noticed the project. So hopefully the creator is enjoying seeing all the vids
The entire My House story being about Steve’s personal life and all the theories being wrong is the biggest revelation I’ve seen in a Pyro video, ever.
Honestly
ultragay
My jaw fucking dropped
i legit thought that myhouse was a story of someone's life way before this video, the airport seems to me to be moving away from the burned house

They say the actual fear in the horror genre comes from the anticipation of something dreadful happening instead of the actual scare, and boy did the wall Shrek and the staircase accomplish that perfectly.
some games technically arent classified as horror, because there is no scary monsters or any real jumpscares, but instead, do the horror using atmosphere and ambient noises. A great example of this is G-string, specifically G-string:Beta, because it builds such a horror esque atmosphere using heavy film grain (to give a washed out, dilapidated, radiated look) while still making us remember that this is what most of America is now, but instead of total collapse, plenty of people live in the urban hellscape of a city that G-string:Beta presents us with, just that they are barricaded inside their homes so that they don't have to deal with the brutal government and cops and radiation.
Also it takes inspiration from brutalist architecture, and mangas like Blam!, which also make great use of brutalist architecture. It too, utilise z "dread over fear" like pyro said in this vid.

Nothing could have prepared me for the theory that the MyHouse pk3 map was Steve's personal trauma loop, or at least that's what I thought before I realised *nothing* could have prepared me for the conclusion of the video.
"Happiness has to be fought for" is such a profound message in itself. The idea that a house is only a home with people in it, the fact that life is a series of blank slates filled with memories and the fact that choosing how to deal with your issues is the most important part of moving on, is something so relatable. The idea that, at the end of the day, it's either fight for your happiness or keep reliving your trauma. It's not just trauma from a single event either, life isn't that simple, every problem in your life compounds and builds until sometimes it feels like it's too much.
There are so many opportunities where you could pull yourself away from the path of true happiness, even after living a full life - like with the ending where the house is sold and the one where it's sold after collecting all of the items - but if Steven let his problems conquer him - retreating, in an attempt to wipe the slate clean (like with the sold house endings) - he might as well have died when his friend "did", as shown on the tombstone with the QR code. Personally, I think this is the most important messages you could get out of this ARG.
Even if his friend wouldn't actually have died, and it was some other big traumatic even (or series of small ones), choosing to wipe the slate clean would be an incomplete way of dealing with it. There is no "final chapter" in your life, like with the "fake beach" ending, which I believe symbolises the desire for all your troubles to end / to feed into the trauma by running away from everything instead of dealing with it.
If he had chosen to "wipe the slate clean" or made an attempt to conclude that phase of his life as something separate / that he can just get rid of by running away instead of fighting for his happiness *despite* all the things that went wrong in his life - his stillborn baby being the worst, assuming that was his (as part of the arg hopefully and not a real mishap), then he might as well have died when it all became too much. For example, if the final straw that made him completely broke down was Thomas' death, like was implied in game by the his own Obituary on the Gravestone in one of the Sold House endings.
You can take comfort in others, like he may have done with Amy, but even the good moments can end totally separately to the other bad things in your life. His separation (despite being on good terms) is probably one of the things he's struggling with as he's shown by a few of the artifacts' messages and locations. Like with the wedding ring being incredibly hard to reach and the baby bottle saying "it wasn't meant to be", you could even tie an Airport miscarriage theory into this (which would be a pretty messed up reason to have that part of the map... I still wonder what that shirt could have been).
All of these problems piling up on each other may make you want to break down or spiral infinitely out of control. Something that once made you feel safe or secure could one day be the same thing that makes you cry down the road. It may make you want to deny that these things have happened, like your life is a movie with chapters that can just be concluded. But you won't find happiness if you just try to mimic what you want happiness to look like. You'll just live the rest of your life with an emptiness inside, eating away at you until all that's left is the wish that things could have been different (like they are in your dreams).
Which is why the fake beach ending is in the mirror world, it's imaginary happiness. The winking Steve in the mirror and the winking Steve standing at the beach feeling fulfilled felt like a completely unattainable reality, which is why he dreamt of these dream/mirror Steve's and himself as different people. But, there's nothing separating you and the you you see in your dreams besides the actions that you take and the ones the you in your dreams had taken to reach that point (you don't see these, you just see the results)...
The "you" you could be, who could be living your best life and the you who you are right now are only separated by the fact that you could either wish for / imagine that happiness or you could be doing everything you can to try attain it.
Maybe what Steve needed at first was to work on the MyHouse pk3, getting all his thoughts out there, but eventually it became something unrecognisable to just being his friends' house and something that was once therapeutic began to eat away at him. The map grew along side his changing dreams, then he started implementing these dreams, then it got to the point where they were a world apart from what he originally planned. He wanted to make a tribute to his friend but ended up making a tribute to his mistakes, tainting his memories until finally realising that the ending all this horror needed was to let the map end with one last *big fight*, finally concluding on the same beach that he saw himself standing on. Letting the player, who is actually Steve, fight for their happiness and finally escape that place (with his doggie).
I don't know Steve personally but he made a very good ARG with a very good message.

Yo any tldr
This mod is incredible in it’s story telling. Even keeping “in canon” so to speak and “in story”, ignoring the direct parallels to the creator’s real life, the story is still deeply powerful and moving. A man consumed by grief and sadness for the loss of his friend, becoming trapped in the memories and emotions of it. He tries to deny it ever happened and forget it by crossing out dreams of the fire (which presumably killed his childhood friend) and literally having an un-killable fire demon block him from his happiness, directly linking to his friend’s death, but in many endings before you discover the true ending, the house just vanishes or burns down. He can’t avoid the memories or change the past, it’s a harsh snap to reality. He needs to accept the past and move forward to find true peace and happiness after the grief. It’s only by reliving the painful memories through objects from their past and processing everything that he can fight for and ultimately find happiness from the grief from losing his friend. Replace childhood friend with ex-wife/love and it still fits hauntingly well.
The funny thing about memories when in trauma-brain is that they actually do all loop around, criss cross on top of each other and become muddled like this. A memory of a specific moment can become tainted with little details from before and after that paint a larger picture than the moment is able to, compounding the trauma vibes. Sorry for th eineloquence lol - I just love how perfectly women the mental turmoil is into the gameplay experience, as you said.
Finally finding out what actually happened to bring this map into reality is so incredibly fulfilling. The theories were great, but knowing what kind of emotional triggers it takes for a work of such genius to come to fruition is so much better.
Steve's wife is a real one for being as open as she was with the whole thing.
I see it quite the opposite way. The guy worked his ass off to make a cryptic game, people were creating cool theories and trying to figure the game out with their own interpretation. Only for her to outright say "it's actually about us and our house :)" for a miniscule amount of tiktok clout. In my opinion it takes away from the project. Same reason why creators such as David Lynch often don't want to explain their stuff or magicians their tricks.

@@Kuba-L32 fr it ruins the whole mystery of the story
@Kuba-L32 But the game WAS about them. It's ok if you like things with no clear answer, but this actually had one. Not to mention, it could be seen as quite the opposite. Imagine breaking up with someone, only for them to recreate your house and details of your relationship in a mod, and release it to the public.
From the first post Pyro showed it seems she had shown the house on tiktok with no connection to the mod and people didn't believe she lived there because of the mod. The mod forced itself into her life, not the other way around. Now I don't blame the guy. Maybe he just thought people wouldn't make the connection, or maybe they talked about it beforehand.
The marriage being real absolutely blew my mind, amazing work Pyro as always 🤯, makes me think is the friend actually real and he’s swapped names/fictionalised him to help get over it, seeing him as a character in a story would help I guess

Seriously brother, I hope you're expanding your repertoire of projects, your work is absolutely phenomenal at a very core level, something about the smallest things really stands out (I don't know nearly enough about content creation to explain, but the effort you put in really shows, and I hope you're being made offers from larger agencies than RUclips for your creative talents)
Wholeheartedly agree, these type of videos show how immensely talented Pyro is. His creativity really manages to shine through when he puts his all into something.
Really good video, but just wanna shout out I absolutely adore how you included a clip of Darkwood at 31:30 when you said ''its dread over fear, which is a great subversion'' considering Darkwood is simultaneously one of the most terrifying horror games I've ever played, along with not having a single jumpscare.
This is the comment that made him make the 8 hr long darkwood vid
I actually didnt recognised Connor's voice until I red the description, that VA was so good this man continues to surprise me
pyrocinical is the only person to make premium quality content just to trick us with petscop
Fuck yes! Finally, a new real non-slop pyro video
1min 100 likes damn
How much adderall did you snort to type that as soon as the video came out?
How do you get 100 likes already it’s only been a minute lmao
Er I mean 200 in 2 Minutes, he has to be botting lol
I want more sloppppppo
My farts are better than Pyro’s farts 💨
This started killing me towards the end, I’m going through a divorce, not even sure when the next time I’ll see my son is, and still stuck in the same house with all of their stuff around me constantly reminding me of them, it’s seriously killing me, I can genuinely relate to the map maker
I just imagine pyro working on this video through endless nights of studying a 29 year old game's mod, hiring voice actors to narrate the diaries and comissioning furry art to then recieve comments like "slopcynical" and "im glad that you made petscop 2"
Damn... Connor's Voice acting is so good! You can't easily tell until you check the credits.
I didn't realise It was Cdawg until i checked either.
That's connor???!!!
It sounded familiar, but i would not have guessed it to be Connor. He did a great job here.
Yea he's an incredible voice actor. Makes sense why that was his content back in the day
@skaareen Lmaoo, yeah doesn't he do Crane Games with ex-porn stars now?
We need another cold ones episode with these consistent references. Especially with how much they've improved with time
literally hopefully it happens cos he's coming to aus
>clicks video because theres petscop thumbnail
>no petscop
>HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
honestly all of the latest main chanell pyro videos have been amazing and you can really see how much effort pyro puts in the videos with the animations
I was aware of the House of Leaves inspiration, but not of the story that came with the map... Amazing. I feel like this is one of those things that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life
The editing, references and sound design are 10/10 as usual, had me wheezing multiple times! I love the inclusion of all the different OSTs, and especially Skibidi Toilet
I CANT STOP WATCHING SKIBIDI TOILET
Milk ost…
Pyro did an amazing job in finding, exploring, and analyzing all the secrets in this map. That ending revelation is crazy. Connor's voice acting is so crazy I didn't recognize him at all.
When I play these games, in a way part of me doesn't want to believe that the reality of this game is this personal until I know for sure. The other theories are easier to entertain, but this one is like breaching in someone's privacy, but worse, knowing that this person who made the piece of work you are consuming has gone through hell, and what you had just experienced didn't come from fiction. It was all real. It was so bad you are inclined to believe it's fiction, but it really wasn't.
It's the same feeling you would get if you found out that Cry of Fear was an exploration into the mind of the developer.
I mean he wasn't the first to find any of this, and I highly doubt he banged his head against it until he organically figured out some of the more cryptic portions. Very good video on it tho
Sorry, but who’s Connor?
Oh wow, didn't even realise it was Cdawg until reading your comment. Sometimes I forget he is in fact a really good VA
@@JubbJubb_ CDawgVA A.K.A ConnorEatsPants A.K.A that one british youtuber A.K.A Bob
omg... i knew he sounded like someones voice... i thought it was the vtuber bubi
Dang this has to be one of the best Pyro videos to date, the editing is top notch, the addition on CDawg as a VA and the animations was way better than reading a txt file and putting that on the screen. Just like how the game immerses the player, the video immerses the viewer
This video is definitely my favorite. I find myself saying that to every video you post on these things. It’s incredible to see how passionate you are about these games that other people would know nothing about. Incredible work Pyro
Mystery song was found
I'm glad you highlighted all the theories from the mod and not just took one theory
It really helps understanding all the different aspects of the maps more
How? There's one true story behind it and that's it
@constantinmoeller7411 unless Steve comes out and says anything, the usual way to go about these types of works is that it is meant to have many, equally valid interpretations, no one true better interpretation, the point is to interpretate
@@constantinmoeller7411it’s an arg you goober
@@MarcyTheKindaCoolWizardYou should seek some validation from God, as a replacement for the material you're lacking from your biological father.
Watching Pyro's indie horror vids feels like I'm watching TikTok rediscover stuff that popped up on on another social media first. Dude provides an essential service.
yes
It did do before
The best horror in my eyes are the ones that start off with you doing typical stuff and you still doing typical stuff for large chunks of it, while the spoopghost stuff slowly creeps in gradually and fleetingly.
Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion is fucking incredible
You sound like the kind of guy that's played omori
the fact that the song has finally been found
Pyro isn't pregnant but he never fails to deliver.
But he sure wishes he was
But he sure wishes he was
But he sure wishes he was
But he sure wishes he was
maybe he is and he never told us
32:30 The stairwell is required to transit between the mirror/flood/concrete house versions to collect all the items. It's non-liminal corridor, a part of the puzzle
There are routes you can take to avoid the staircase; it's just more optimal to take it.
Are there?
House -> Burned down house -> End
House-> Daycare -> House
House Mirror -|-> Gas Station -> End
House -> Concrete houses
House -> Flooded House -> Stairwell
Flooded house -> Concrete Houses
Concrete houses -> Stairwell
Concrete houses -> Airport -> House
Stairwell -> House
What am I missing? @@Duvi0
I remember being physically terrified after watching PowerPaks video, that weird feeling that haunted me and felt almost irreversible, until next day when I immediately found someone speedrunning MyHouse with the lawnmower from the boomer mod, then it instantly vanished lol
THIS IS THE EXACT SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME WHAT THE FUCK
@@10vue the human experiencie
the lawnmower speedrun was awesome...............the haunting feeling never left me..........
@@user-xf8xk6hw9m you need to live a sillier life
Not to pry into this amazing story/mod creator's life but are we sure he really divorced on good terms with his ex-wife, at least at first? To make such a heartfelt game as this, I can't shake the feeling that he really did struggle with the divorce and it forced him to mull over his entire life in a bout of depression for quite some time. There must be some reason for the "date of death". Only for him to fight his way out of the depression and regain his happiness again, by seeing that he could enjoy the small things within his control. Just something to consider.
The split happened pretty soon after Tom's death so it was probably the "double whammy," not as devastating on her end. He probably felt like it was another sign "it's all falling apart" though and collapsed further into himself.
The date of death being different than the *real* date of death is I would guess is when *he felt he died*
@@Poglavnit_Pferdefuhrer I think that's a great explanation for the DoD.
Even if you mutually agree to split up, you're still losing someone in your life you care deeply for
The wife probably got everything from the divorce. Bro's lucky if he has a car.
been watching pyro since 2014, mad to see how far he has come.
Ikr? It's wild seeing him go from a leafy clone to an actual good content creator
Im glad he was able to tell us about skin insanity. I still diagnose many people with it
How time flies. Can’t believe he went from 45 and living in his moms basement to 14 and living in a real bedroom.❤
So proud!
Pyro I love what you are doing man. You've always been my favourite and to see you innovating and wrapping up the narrative in exactly the same punchy, emotional and atmospheric ending I was hoping for. Keep it up, I already watched cruelty squad 3 times end to end and somehow never got bored, I fkn LOVE YOU!!! Best of wishes!
yeaa cool cool, remember when he got exposed for furry shit porn?
Yea his main channel videos are good, im happy he found his passion.
2 videos in an year, the most consitent pyrocinical have been in this decade
1:13:06 weird that the Song is now identified as FEX Subway of Your Mind
Wow, that reveal at the end was fantastic! I adore how My House has so many interpretations, because hell, even the real world story doesn't totally tie up to the game's narrative. In. In a strange way, S has made a trauma experience so universal that everyone can read into the game and find something different out of it .
Great video
Ive seen both the Pak and Pyro videos and after that I've found my own meaning from the map and its really cemented my idea that this is a work of art. Its just vague enough to be subjective in its messaging
Wow, theory 6 really got to me. The entire video was amazing but the theory that the entire game was the playthrough of someone elses trauma loop is hauntingly immersive. It gives the entire game a feel of being something greater. Especially when paired with the journal entries of his traumatic experiences.
plus le epic wendigoon moment
For a split second, I knew happiness. Then I used my brain and skipped to the halfway point to find out it's not Petscope.
I love how this map was disguised as a simple remake of someones house, if no one dug into this map properly it could've gone completely under the radar.
