Video

I really like your video and I think you did a great breakdown of the series. What I didn't like was the volume of some of your sound effects, they were too loud and it was hard finding a good volume to watch the video on.

6:14 finally, someone says it.

A thought- what if the windmill used to be in the spot where the school is now? And thats why Paul and Belle seem to recognize the location as they went to school there? That would mean “the windmill wasnt there” is Rainer mocking Marvin, because he went to its location and discovered it was where he and Marvin now worked.

i’m sure i’ll have more to say, but mostly i want to say thank you for not going into depth about the real candace newmaker tragedy. what happened to her was disgusting, and with the way domenico distances himself from the story later on it really bothers me how much detail many youtubers go into

Nice theory, but Prey is not set in Dishonored’s universe. It has been confirmed that Dishonored and DEATHLOOP share the same universe, tho.

very sincere THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for including that bit about paul potentially being transgender. (havent finished the video yet, i'm literally halfway through so i'm not sure what conclusion you've drawn yet) one of the major reasons i got into petscop initially was because of the trans paul theory, i resonated with him a lot and came to the conclusion [of my own theory] that he was trans and experienced dissociative amnesia because of it. a lot of people don't mention the dissociation side of being transgender, and thus rule out paul being trans entirely in their theories because "why doesn't he remember himself?" it probably means so much to thousands, including myself, that you brought it up AND did research, even if it might not have been a lot!!! it was so so so refreshing to hear you discuss the heavy topics with full respect and an educated mind. thank you.

Oh god he wonders if the monster is a Jehovah's witness I'm not sure which one is worse Also making videos could be a coping mechanism

Low budget special effects are my favorite they just have a charm to them and they often have a bit of horror and comedy to them

When is the next upload? its been a while since you last uploaded.

5 words. Written on a chalkboard. _Do You Remember Being Born?_

This is a very good video, thank you for sharing...!!!

For me its strange,weird,unsettling how much of petscope reminds me of my own past and how i see this time for myself. Maybe it sounds weird, but somehow as if Petscope knew the version of myself from back then and is able to bring the way/ this kind of feeling into its episodes, not all, but so many things in my memory always looked and felt similar disturbed. this rediscovery something terrible had happened with oneselve and knowing something was up and not right and in hiding all the time in the back of my head and this suffocating feeling in fear of it. If it was intended by creator or not, or if this Care->Paul transformation is just one of some versions how the community is interpreting it, but even this change of Care into Paul was the way i instantly intepreted petscope while watching it, and it again resembles my own life so god damn fucking much, even the ages are the same. Like i said previous, as if i saw the whole time a version of myself. In the end at least Paul got a hopefully happy ending and closure with his past, and it may sound stupid, but it made me happy and cry in joy, because its something i never was never able to get. Even 30y later i am still disturbed Care NLM and still wandering the newmaker plane like being stuck in a fucking nightmare.

1:29:36 Definitely, absolutely NOT the S.O.S.... it isn't even close to 3 long, 3 short, 3 long. It is closest in sound to someone picking up and placing down something like a mug on a glass tabletop, with doubled "thunks" on the placing down.

Also your theory in the end falls apart, mate. The "boss" you see at the end of the soundtrack is Lina from behind, not Tiara. I don't think Lina is actually dead. Overall, you glossed over some things. It was a good attempt at explainging the story. But so far I have not seen anyone to come up with a convincing story. It's frustrating, since the creator of Petscop even said that he withheld certain aspects of the story, so we might never know what was happening 100%.

Little note here, the song that Paul plays at the very end on the needles is called "Pauls Tune".

On the topic regarding 'gender dysphoria', that isn't what is happening. This is closer to Dissociative identity disorder. Victims of abuse might adopt a whole new persona as a result, and in some cases it's possible the gender of that persona can also be different. Gender dysphoria is a very different thing and can not be inflicted/caused as a reaction to trauma. Just to clear that up. ^^

the vibrating green object seems to be a pile of chains after paul makes the knocks, it... sort of? sounds like he's rustling the chains if the chains are only one of the possible "tools" that hurt people when the playstation is on, it would make "you can stand up now" make a bit more sense (other vague possibilities include the game itself, the controller, or a literal piano tuner that was at some point used to punish a particular child by stabbing them, creating awful memories that the game is supposed to fix but did not)

Finally! You’re the third person I had to watch to find out what the hell the story was in Petscop. Game Theory left it on a cliffhanger, Nexpo left it on a cliffhanger, but you actually went ahead and explained everything in detail! Thank you so much for making this video! I can die in peace

Ok so I have some issues with the particulars of your timeline. Before I get into criticisms, I want to clarify that any and all theories about Petscop are going to have holes, even my own. This is because the in-universe game of Petscop only has a fraction of the information, Paul only play through a fraction of that, and we only see a fraction of Paul's playthrough. We see a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the story. That being said, your timeline has some issues. 1. You said that Marvin hit his friend, Tina, with his car. Tina was nine at the time, so unless Marvin was just casually friends with someone seven years younger than him, I kinda doubt this. Resolvable if we just assume that Tina is much older than Anna and that Marvin was really there to hang out with Anna. Also don't get how hitting a Windmill with a car just makes it disappear into thin air, or why Anna took a second photo, but that is taking Rainer's word as actual gospel which I probably shouldn't do. 2. You say that Michael found out about Marvin's crimes, and so Marvin ran over Michael. As far as I can tell, there is zero evidence for this. This is in no way impossible, but I've always personally believed that Michael died an unfortunate death not at the hands of Marvin, since Rainer almost certainly would've acknowledged that he killed Michael in the "hi Marvin" thing. 3. To my knowledge there is no evidence that Rainer helped Care leave the basement, and though it certainly is not impossible, I would think that Rainer would include some sort of reference to this event. The rest is pretty good overall. As someone who's been massively engrossed in Petscop for six years now, I really like this analysis. I would like to add that I've never seen someone connect that the child library indicates that Care was put up for adoption. That makes so much sense and I really do like this idea. That explains a lot about not only Care/Paul, but Belle as well. The Paul is trans theory doesn't hold up too well (I write this as someone who is trans and has dissociative amnesia). It, again, isn't impossible, but It's never been my favorite. I've always believed that Marvin accidentally rebirthed Michael into Care's body instead of Lina, hence why Paul's room in the child library is Care's face with Michael's eyebrows.

Nexpo did a good job on the game analysis video.

i wouldn't want anything else 😩

batman 100% has a screwdriver on his belt

that room looks familiar 😳😳😳

the poison throwing is giving me rykard flashbacks

omg i loved the part where shadow died twice

mrowr😊

Some things are missing from the analysis (ie: the hidden message when Paul reveals his location; the real name of "Boss" in the finale, that's Lina and that's the most confusing thing ever, and so on) but nonetheless it's a huge work, and a lot of stuff here is very spot on. amazing job, ty

I'm so excited that I finally found a full explanation and theory about the whole petscop thing!!! Thanks so much for making this!!

Much as I like the "Boomer" joke, when Marvin looks at the controller it should be noted that left and right are on the wrong buttons

hottie

I think your take on what happened in 1977 is mostly bang on though. IMO this video is a smorgasbord of legitimate narrative breakthroughs (many of which haven't been majorly touched on before) along with some personal opinions pushed due to confirmation bias and deliberately ignoring any contradictory evidence or stuff you can't explain.

Also, this video mostly MASSIVELY ignores the real world PS1 connected Needles Pianos and their critical importance to the story... There's a reason there's one in literally every single Garalina testing room. When the characters are shown "playing the Needles Piano" they are LITERALLY playing on actual physical/real-world devices called Needles Pianos which are directly wired into the PS1's playing Petscop (via a controller port).

2:47:00 The link system being wireless is basically impossible unless Rainer was also handing out modded PS1's with the game that had some kind of magical WiFi, pre-WiFi. What's far more likely is that the 8x rooms in the Garalina facility are the only place you can actually play Petscop (being the only places with the required hardware ala linked PS1's + Needles Pianos) and Martin was in one of other ones (likely being kept there playing the game by the family) but somehow figured out how to escape. The amount of time between him saying "Here I Come" and physically getting to Paul is so short to make any other explanation practically impossible.

I don't buy the Care literally = Paul because he's transgender theory for a freaking second (they still very well could be the "same entity" but it's not about gender dysphoria but rather the rebirthing machine that Marvin built in the school basement). If Paul was trans, he'd be FULLY aware of that fact even if he had a mental break & dissociation with his earlier "pre-transition" memories. No surgery (ESPECIALLY F2M), no matter HOW good will leave you with junk identifiable as the real deal. Aka he'd know full well he used to be a girl which doesn't make sense with the other established lore. The thematic parallels to the trans experience could most definitely be intentional/legitimate, but I think a literal interpretation here is mostly just confirmation bias than anything else. Many people really want Paul to be trans, and thus they perceive him and the story as such.

your videos are too good for this few veiwers i wish you luck

that holy shit at 20:46 made me almost piss my pants it was so quiet the whole time

it was nice hearing someone else come out of this series with the interpretation that paul is a trans man and not immediately have that idea discounted. i've seen people say that this interpretation is harmful for whatever reason, but as a trans man myself, i think calling it harmful is more harmful in and of itself. gender dysphoria can come from many different places, and to call this interpretation harmful just because the gender dysphoria emerged from abuse is more harmful than anything else and may make people whose own gender dysphoria stems from a similar experience feel isolated and like their identity is fake, less valid. of course i'm not the end all be all on trans stuff, but neither are other random people in the comments section of petscop videos lol. this interpretation may make feel some people feel heard and represented, and i think more than anything that that's wonderful super sorry for the long comment! your interpretation lines up exactly with my own, so i was feeling a bit emotional and passionate. this is by far my favorite video breaking down petscop. very concise and well documented, it really helped me understand some parts of the story more as someone who is really bad at parsing information lol. regardless of the interpretation, i'm sure we can all agree that seeing paul finally set free to be with his real family and live his life was cathartic and the best note that the series could have ended on

1:14:39 there’s a hidden image in the pause between Paul climbing up the ladder and breaking the air conditioner

I've been watching this on my TV so I didn't even notice, but the fact this only has 9.5K views is illegal. This video is so long and packed with information, breaking down the story of Petscop like nobody else on the platform has... Definitely glad you shared this here and I'm rewatching as we speak

I don't get how this has so little clout, this video is great! You got some great takes on the whole story!... My only problem is with your view on belle, in the game she's refered as Belle and Tiara, Reiner Says "I was over-eager before and started calling you tiara" inplying they are the same person (Also if Belle meets Paul and also the Game AFTER the game is ready and Reiner is dead, how could Reiner know so much about her? Qnd the same text implies she went through the Rebirth process but did it wrong. Still great video tho, i've been listening to it while i work ;)) keep it up like this bro, this is a great vid

Dude, this video was absolutely amazing. Your story makes so much sense. When I watched petscop myself I really after some point just had no clue what was even going on. But either way awsome job my guy! Brutally underrated

Criminally underated channel

Incredible video! I love the ending of it 😂 You touched on a few questions I had there, too. I have to say, you did really wonderfully with your voice acting, really great work adjusting your inflection for different characters. My favorite has to be the dull "I dunno" from the tool

I'm so happy I came across this video, I never really comment on youtube videos but I had to for this one and can I just say "WOW!" the effort that has gone into this video!!! I've watched MatPat's and Nightmare Masterclass' video on Petscop but your one is the best by far. It was perfectly edited, you reading out the text and the way this video was put together is so so good. There are so many questions that I now have answers too- thank you!! I'm trans myself, and I can semi-relate to the idea that Paul disassociated from his childhood/being Care because I can't truly remember aspects of my childhood when I was a girl. I didn't go through was Paul did (at all) but I experienced bullying and mental health stuff and just not a great time, I can remember some parts but not like fully. You handle this topic well (thank you). As someone else in the comments stated, I'm not scared when I think of this game anymore, sure there are some scary moments but, as you say, it doesn't rely on jumpscares (apart from Marvin just randomly appearing at times and Belle/Tiara appearing suddenly in the quitters room when I first discovered this series). I'm just happy that Paul found out who he truly is and found his true family :] I've been obsessed with this game for the longest time and I generally want to get a tattoo based off of it all <3 There are so many questions that still remain unanswered maybe someone will figure it out by watching the whole series again :P Wow this is a very long comment, but just thank you so much for making this video :DD!!!!

This is by far the GREATEST coherent story of Petscop I’ve ever heard. I agree with it 100%. The questions at the end made it better too. I appreciate the time you took to make this my man. Cheers.

I don't get it. Why would removing the outsider make any big impact on the world? The world was normal even before the outsider existed, right?

Amazing video! Though i defiantly prefer the alternate timeline theory over the "Paul is trans" one, but I love the how you ended up tying a lot of the story together!
