Petscop 14

The, a long episode after another hiatus.

The YouTube thumbnail for this video doesn't match any of the small auto-generated ones, but only by a frame or two. It does not have the letterboxing seen in some other thumbnails.

The previous video description continues to be used: Everything we wish to say is below:

The purpose of this YouTube channel is to preserve and display the recordings within the video game "Petscop" while keeping some of their content private.

They were first given to us as a Christmas gift, many years ago. The game had an interesting journey, before and after that day.

Paul created some additional recordings in 2017 as a way to show Petscop gameplay to his friend. He created this account in order to upload those additional recordings in video format. He later passed ownership of the channel to us, but continued to record himself at our strong suggestion. Though he had issues with the arrangement, these have finally been settled.

Please enjoy the recordings in Petscop! We do. :)

Marvin's Puzzle
Petscop14-GreenScreen.png Petscop14-ParentRoom-Marvin.png


 * The video starts with a fully solid green screen with a flashing demo marker near the top of the screen.
 * The Parents' Room in the Frozen House appears. The background of the room is a dimmer green that dims and brightens periodically. There are two nightstands; the left one contains a row of CD cases, and the right one has a statue of the Windmill on it. Music begins playing, though the first part of it is just a beat on every measure.


 * The player &mdash; assumed to be Marvin &mdash; walks into the room, and then up to the left nightstand. A few seconds later, he moves down and around the beds. He pauses briefly in front of the green bed on the right, and then continues around to the other nightstand with the windmill.


 * The player checks the windmill statue, which produces a lot of text.


 * The textbox finishes. The player walks down to the bottom right corner of the room, and then begins trying to walk onto the green bed from below, then from the right side, alternating back and forth for some time.


 * After bumping into the bed fruitlessly for nearly 40 seconds, a jump cut occurs.

I can't just wait. Uhm.. Thankfully I have been, Uh.. Suddenly inspired by an idea, that is in a way, similar to the idea that brought me to this house. Uhm.. Because, that idea involved pretending. Pretending something was there, that wasn't there. In this idea involves pretending that this door, right here, this one, is open, rather than closed. You can see that it's closed, uhm.. But, what I'm going to do, and, what I invite you to do, as well, is picture, I'm going to picture in my head, that this door is actually open right now, uhm.. And if I were to pass through this doorway, uhm.. What would happen, I would... Would I bump into a door? No. Because, the door is open, right? I would just keep going, into the room that's there. And I happen to know I'm gonna walk into the room right now. Uh, tuh tuh tuh. I'm in the room. I happen to know what this room looks like, because I saw in a demo recording just today. Uhm.. And you can see it too, I assume it'll be up on the family youtube, along with this video that I'm recording, right now. Uhm.. We can see what the room looks like, on that recording, uhm.. On the, uh.. Re-, right? Left? Left? Right? Side. There's a windmill. Now, I don't have it in front of me right now. I should. Uhm.. On the right side, there's a windmill, on the left side there's something that, uhm.. Marvin does not bother to look at, but we will be looking at, uhm.. So, uh.. The question is, what do I do next, if I were in this room right now would I, uhm.. I wanna go to the thing that Marvin didn't look at. So, I'm gonna go to the right, uhm.. And I think... So, if I go to the right... Ugh, god, I think I went a little too far, actually. Uh, tah, no. Well, I think actually, what happen--s here... The problem is that it's a, kind of a branching point, I could stop, I could be blocked by the beds, or I could keep going, past the beds, to the other side of the room, so I could actually be on either side of the room, right now. Uhm.. But either way, I guess it doesn't matter, but I'm going to assume, uhm.. I'm on the thing, that I got blocked by the beds, and I, if I go up, up up up up, uh.. Just keep going up, uhm.. There will be a question mark, that appears, that will let me go and do something. Uh.. If I press X something will happen. Uhm.. And, what will happen, uh.. I think possibly a text box will open, cause that's what happens with the windmill, right? Uh.. I'm gonna press, I pressed X, and a text box appeared, with text in it, that is probably cryptic, and we don't really care too much about, so we're gonna press X a bunch of times, uhm.. To get through all the text, uhm.. But we can look at it later. Uhm.. And there could be a lot of it, so, it could be, like a book, in there, a lot of stuff I don't care about. A lot of it. Or, or it's not a text box, and it could be literally anything else in the world, uhm.. That happens when you press X. Uh.. So, the next thing I can think to do, is just press buttons, randomly, uhm.. And chaotically. And hopefully we'll, you know, see some results. So I'm... I'm doing that right now, I dunno if you can hear that, uh.. Well. I'm being real, uh.. Chaotic, right now, with the controller. And I'm thinking, you know. I'm thinking I'm being really productive right now. I think I'm definitely being really productive. Uhm.. It's just that we can't really see it. Hey cat, what are you doing? Stupid. (???) Yeah. Do do, do-do-do, do-do-do do do, do do do do do do-do-do-do. I'm playing this game too fucking much. OK-- And so, the... The windmill isn't there. I think I can... So, I-- I get blocked by the... I do get blocked by the beds. Uhm.. And then go up, uh.. I think. Oh god, I could be doing this... I shouldn't be doing this while I'm talking, so, anyway, where was I. So, I've seen, I've actually seen recordings that it made of me, from a year ago. Uhm.. And I had not seen that, you know, recording in the time between, so it was holding onto this thing, and it only decided a year later to play back. Uhm.. There are also, uhm.. Recordings that I assume are stored on the CD, or might even be scripted. But, uhm.. In one of the recent videos, this is-- this is one that went on the public youtube, uhm.. I'd lost the video. I lost it, uhm.. I had the audio. Uhm.. The game had the recording. Even... There were two parts to this, this session, uh.. It had both of them. It played them back, two different occasions, as demo recordings. I got them, but... OK, so here's the thing. Those, uhm.. Those demo recordings can be different, right? They can be different from when I was playing. The one... So, when I caught all those pets and it showed the text, uhm.. That was different from what it showed when I was playing. It showed something-- It happened to line up, right perfectly, uh.. Same number of text boxes, and so forth. Uhm.. And also the music wasn't there in the demo, uhm.. There can be differences, and, this, was part of what made... It seemed reasonable that the door could be opened. Uh.. I'm not saying it wasn't still nuts. So, actually, I'm gonna do this now. So, uh.. Right, so I'm-- I'm assuming that triangle is back, but, it could square, circle, I'm gonna just do all of them. Uhm.. OK. I can actually... I can actually, I think I can rotate, these. Uhm.. K. Uhm.. So, I mean, I could have gone just totally off the rails, by this point, I could be anywhere. So, attempt five was this room, over here. Uhm.. And now attempt six we're going to try to push the bucket into the other room, going back to this room, now. Uh. Again, gonna make sure this is aligned exactly right. Ahh. Hm. This. K. So, this way. And, uhm.. I'm just going to leave it there, and see what happens. Trying again. This is attempt twenty-two. And, tch tch tch tch. I think that's right. Right, now we don't have to worry about that. One, two, three, four, five, six. OK. Now. OK, hopefully we got it. OK, now we're in the scary part. One, two. Now, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Here I am. It, uhhhhh. It deleted my files. I hope it didn't. Uhhh. OK, what's this.

["You made it. Happy birthday!"](Blue)

["Why are you covering your face?"](Blue)

["... Oh."](Blue)

What's that supposed to mean?

["Of course I recognize you."](Blue)

["Those eyes. That nose. That's still you."](Blue)

["Go ahead and have a slice!"](Blue)

["Oh, don't worry about those."](Blue)

[I sure hope you've realized by now."](Blue)

["It doesn't matter how long you've been gone. It doesn't matter how much you've changed."](Blue)

["You aren't lost. Stop wandering and come home."](Blue)

Let me check something. So, what I'm thinking, is that this is either 1995, or... Or it's 2017. Getting that bad feeling again. Hmm.

["Care! Are you okay?"](Blue)

["You ran straight into the door! Did you think it was open? ... Aw, poor baby."](Blue)

["Where is the disk? Where are the discovery pages?"](Yellow)

Uhh. Wait a second.

["What are you talking about? What disk? Discovery pages?"](Blue)

["... Jill, stop fucking ignoring me. Get in here and show me where that disk is."](Yellow)

Uhmmmmmmmmmm.

["Jill."](Yellow)

["No, Care, this is Mommy. This is your mommy. Sweetie, I'm right here in front of you. There's no one else here."](Blue)

["What are you looking at? What's over there?"](Blue)

["... Care, can't you hear me? Can't you see me waving? Snap out of it. Care! Where are you going?"](Blue)

I think... I think... I think... That was based... Off of a conversation... That I had last year, on my birthday. If it wasn't just a coincidence, then that means I'm, uhm.. Getting pranked. But I don't know how that magic trick works, exactly. Game froze. I have to call Jill. Right now. Trapped. I'm feeling very weird. So, through google, I asked the internet, how might one re-write to a CD-R. And the internet's response to that question was: "You idiot. You fucking idiot. What are you doing?"

["You made it. Happy birthday!"](Blue)

["Why are you covering your face?"](Blue)

["... Oh."](Blue)

Some things you can't re-write. So, I'm in the garage now. Oh. Speaking of this. This is the website. For some reason it's in the game, on a computer screen. But yeah, this is it. And this is the... This is the "your child" page, judging by all the text. Wish I could read it. Uh. Jesus. Hhmm. This is a different page. I have no idea what's going on anymore. What even is this. Not sure what I'm doing now. This again. Fuck.
