The pets really seem to like you. Thanks for playing Petscop.

59:32 dude that "shitting around on the road" bit had me rolling, caught me so off guard i swear

[Hotmail]

I hear the Candace Newmaker story in every Petscop video, but it still makes me cry every time. The adults treated her so inhumanely.

[BrokenFingerParadise]

So what you are saying is the real Petscop is the friends we made along the way. Heartwarming.

[defaultdan]

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

[SniperPlayervr]

I love it when Ryan breaks tone of the usual calm, worried narrator by cursing and sounding just absolutely fed up with paranormal bullshit

[silkii]

I loved it when Paul said “now I am become Petscop, destroyer of pets” and he rode off into the sunset

If Pyrocynical can’t do a sequel video, Nexpo will

[Looking.for.Lilith]

I was zoned out then tuned back in at “fucking bingo. Marvin is green.” Made me spit out my coffee

[billcypher]

Finally, we now have Petscop 2. Thanks, Pyro, for making us wait over almost 5 years for this.

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

[hyperlyne]

I love how despite being generally neutral, Nexpo still manages to slip in some personality like mentioning how Paul is "shitting around" or saying "they bombastically claim that a fucking windmill vanished."

[kizuame]

I'm sure this has been noticed before, but the mashing he does when he's checking the discs beside the bed when he can't see, matches up with the 1 minute pressing of the "bye-bye" soundcheck

[ArcadeTheatre]

The man hit us with a "To Be Continued" after nearly 3 hours.

[Loey]

Congrats on hitting 3 mil any minute now Ryan. Your work deserves all the recognition in the world. love ya buddy <3

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

[Tiredbutmighty]

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

[purplehaze]

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.

[vivid]

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.

I’m sorry Pauls doing what? 59:27
I love how nexpo just randomly goes from dark serious mode to silly little guy and then right back
