inb4 "next update when nick?!?!?"

And finally: Petscop, from the very beginning, has *not* been about 'us solving the mystery'. It's been about *Paul* solving the mystery, we're just along for the ride. You were 100% right when you said it's not an ARG. It's *not* an ARG, it's a narrative video series.

"You're the only visitor to 'Even Care.'" Petscop seems to be a story about child neglect. Paul helped Care ("Carrie") early on in the series. Paul is the only visitor to even care.

I feel like im having a bit of a stroke here, theres a lot of re-re-re-reading lines over and over.

The moment Nick asked about the button presses forming words is the moment it became very clear that he hadn't done his research.

I think you might have rose tinted glasses when it comes to Marble Hornets, because I remember there being REALLY long stretches of time where instead of feeling like we were getting more information, we were actually being told "here's even more gaps, time to play catch up with the timeline"

the large chunks of repeated reading of Rainer’s messages threw me for a loop cause i was like “wait didn’t we hear this whole thing already?”

Petscop is not playing out like an ARG it's running like a let's play.

me 43 minutes ago: oh no, why are there so many dislikes? don't people like petscop? :( me now: ah

Night Mind made a part 2 before Pyrocynical!

Pyrocynical: Doesn't release Petscop 2 Night Mind: "Well someone's gotta do it."

Paul didn't censor the items, the people who took control of the channel did. Also it's pretty much accepted that Daniel is Rainer. I know you put this out pretty soon after but you missed a lot...

I disagree with your critiques of petscop for not giving enough clues and such because petscop never presented itself as an RNG kind of thing, they never interacted with the fans, don't have any social media except for the channel and never rewarded or encouraged looking for any clues. they are just uploading really vague videos and trying to tell a story in a way that they want to tell it and nothing more, it's not their responsibility to be interactive because their fans are interactive or to make it a satisfying puzzle because everyone that wants to solve it

I feel like you watched a different Petscop than me. With Petscop I actually feel like I'm understanding it a lot better than I ever did with Marble Hornets... Yeah, the answers lead to more questions, but I still feel like I am getting good answers and besides the wait between videos it doesn't feel like it's dragging on too long to me.

Wait, did we watch the same webseries?? I absolutely ADORE the pacing of petscop. Sure, it gives you a bunch of questions, but as you go on, with each episode, you realize all the questions are interconnected. You dont get many answers but that doesnt change my enjoyment of the series, and I'm suprised you didnt get as much out of it as I did.

I appreciate the video and understand your feelings towards the pace of the story, but I feel like you are ignoring a huge chunk of evidence by not addressing the rebirthing stuff which seem to be the main theme of the series, which was there from the start. Newmaker, rebirth, "quitter", Care supposedly being Lina reborn (and Marvin being excited about that, with Rainer saying to him "I have a guess at which child you'll pick next"), Paul saying that "he bears a strong resemblance" to Care, someone trying to use a machine to make Belle become Tiara (and Pink Tool mentioning a machine "beyond the school basement stairway", where Care was), etc.

Night Mind: "I didn't make videos about Petscop because all I would be doing is summarizing, without evidence to make conclusions." Petscop: *uploads 5 videos in a single day with tons of clarifying information to work with* Night Mind: *Spends 30 minutes summarizing the videos without theorizing, and 13 minutes complaining about how slow and cryptic it is.* I usually like your videos a lot (your House of Leaves series was fantastic), but this is the first one I've watched where it felt like you were wasting my time.

"The only visitor to even care" Why did that only now click to me?

I really dig petscop, I feel like it's too bad to hear you think we aren't getting anything. I've been watching people make all kinds of interesting connections since it started and many still hold up really well.

I never thought I would say "Nick got it completely wrong." And now I have to. I'm not trying to be insulting or anything, but there are a lot more clues and evidence presented than you included in this video. Some of them are absolutely confirmations. I'm sorry but I really think you let negative feelings you have for this series or creator effect your judgement... and that really isn't like you at all.

i think the reason you don’t like petscop is because you were expecting an arg with fan interaction. which petscop isnt

This is my fave web series of all time, so I’m disappointed to hear that you think the story is going too slow. I think the connections were all there, as I remember even pre-petscop 11 people were making connections on the petscop Reddit from new uploads that still hold up to this day. Personally I find that petscop is unique and that I actually NEVER know what to expect from a new upload, and they always blow my mind. I guess it’s just not the type of web series for everyone, but it’s the perfect web series for me, and I love it so dearly

Oof this video. I normally love night mind videos but man this didn’t analyze much of the amazing wonder that is petscop. It was mostly a rant with a lot of repetition.

I am by no means an expert with online horror/ARGs/whatever, but I have been watching this channel for a long time. In my opinion, this is one of the best ARG-type stories I've seen for one point alone; The immersion. When you watch the Petscop videos, you shouldn't look at them like an ARG. This whole story deserves to be watched as if it were an actual game that was given to Paul and you're experiencing and easter egg hunting through the game with him. When I first came across Petscop, I didn't know it was going to be an ARG, and it really got me as a generic story of just another weird, lost game that nobody has played before or was unfinished. It's refreshing and new for the format and feels more realistic than any other online horror story I've seen, including the ones covered on this channel. TL;DR: Looking at the video like an ARG just hurts the experience the creators wanted the viewers to have. Look at it like a let's play of an obscure game.

...I love night mind's content but it seems he needs to stick to completed work. Hes hesitant to theorize about things when he "doesnt have all the information". At least he seems to have become now. If we wanted to just see the information the story gave us....we'd just watch the series... Nick, you asked questions we already have answers to....or at least...sorta answers.

I enjoy the slow drip process of Petscop. I don't need a giant info dump to make it feel worthwhile. I like the excruciating details.

Nick a puzzle isnt fun if it comes out of the box finished is it? just because the moon comes out at night after you said the moon will be out doesn't mean it came out for you does it? This is a story not making sense to you then you might want to change perspective

I feel like you're missing out a lot of juicy details, which I can understand if you just don't find this series fascinating, but this video feels very insubstantial as a result, which is a shame since its so long and you often do such a great job.

stop encouraging him to rush it. petscop has a unique atmosphere specifically because it doesn't present itself as consumable entertainment. it's a voyeuristic view into a family secret that we aren't neccecarily supposed to see.

Night Mind: "all I would've bern able to do making a video would have amounted to summarizing what happened in the uploads and then shrugging my shoulders" Also Night Mind: _summarizes what the majority of the fanbase knew before the Easter uploads and then shrugs his shoulders_

as much as i love your work, i have to say i disagree with your feelings about petscop's pacing. i have always found that the slow, creepy slither of information was the only way petscop could possibly work. those slow connections, that constant wondering and theorizing... it is, in that way, something that viewers can pick up on clues for and theorize about for days on end. i cannot imagine petscop being fast-paced. it is a story that is over twenty years in the making (from within its own universe) and we probably weren't meant to see it at all. that's what makes it so special. that's what keeps me interested and engaged, because there's so much that i DON'T know, that i SHOULDN'T know as someone who isn't a member of the family that petscop surrounds. all will be revealed in time. patience is the essence of petscop and i wouldn't have it any other way.

The Easter uploads really worked for me because they confirmed a lot of the fan theories that have been going around for a while and that felt very rewarding, all the while dropping new clues for further speculation and reveals. I really doubt the gaps in uploads are due to IRL delays, it all feels very planned and premeditated, and they left ample clues that they would be dropping videos on Easter.

Petscop is not a puzzle series with dramatic elements. It's a dramatic series with puzzle elements. The major mysteries simply aren't ours to solve. "This is not for you" and all that. Seriously, if the Daisy-Head Mazie metaphor doesn't chill you, I don't know what to tell you. Marble Hornets was fantastic for its day but Rainer blows Alex out of the water.

Disagree. While not necessarily every video, at least every cluster of videos, every lump upload, with reasonable consistency, showed us something of value. It seems, from what you're saying, your mainly referring to our ability to piece together the narrative. I've always been just as interested in the game. This game is something that was meant to be disassembled, by hand, on the player's end. I WANT to watch the character solve these puzzles. I WANT to see what assumption about video games is going to be broken and exploited. I super appreciate the notion of game glitches and backend nonsense being the only way to proceed. You didn't even talk about episode 21. The layers, Nick! THE LAYERS!

Solid answers are over-rated sometimes. I think all of the theories, creeps, feels, ambience, that almost Lovecraftian sense of mystery and dread are what makes Petscop great. The ponderings on free will, consciousness, child abuse, cyclical patterns, unlikely connections, abstract symbols, new gameplay mechanics, have all been thoroughly entertaining. The confusion is a big part of that, I think.

Eh I'm with everyone else. It's pretty disappointing you think the pace is off. Every bit is satisfying for me because the medium is such a spectacle. I don't think it needs to pick up the pace, because that kind of rush can take a series and throw all the information down without actually thinking or turning it into art. The slow nature of the information provided makes the process feel more natural I feel like Paul is actually playing the game and is in on discovering the mystery with us. A quick edit to every part of the game that gives information would be awful. I get that you think the anticipation is too much but for a lot of us that's why we love this series.

And so, NM fell from grace started. that intelligent, charming analyst is slowly going away.

I love that it's not giving any answers. Some of my favourite pieces of media are that of David Lynch, and he never explains anything ever. The intrigue of the show for me is the theorizing. Picking each new video clean for any bit of information possible and trying it in any way possible to try and find the answer. If they just gave us the answers then it would ruin the mystery. Even the amount of exposition that they gave in the most recent videos felt a bit forced because it was so much more than we had ever expected to get all at once. Petscop has been so incredible so far, I'm willing to wait years for the conclusion as long as they keep doing it the way they are now.

Man, your narrating and editing has taken a turn. That's sad, I really enjoy how you did things a year or 2 ago.

Everyone really added to this. Despite your dissaproval even matpat had something diffrent that nobody else talked about. For example tool is a piano tuner. So indeed. Kudos to everyone who managed to come up with details

Dude, this doesn't even feel like one of your videos. I can see you really rushed it. The video is more than 40 minutes long and you didn't talk about almost anything. You repeated the same lines a lot and missed tons of clues that appeared in those last 5 uploads alone! You barely talked about them. And I thought everybody knew at this point that Paul is NOT in control of the channel, he recorded the footage, but he is not the one uploading or editing it. He wasn't even talking to the audience in the first uploads, he was talking to somebody specifically and using the videos to communicate with this person. Petscop has it's own way of telling it's story, it doesn't follow the traditional ARG structure, and that's great. I hadn't even noticed it until you brought it up. I think that shows just how it's not an important factor. But idk, maybe I'm just used to the Nightmare Masterclass videos about Petscop, where he talks more in depth about each upload.

I believe there were clues, actually. Like what others are saying, it feels like you watched a different webseries. In all honesty, I could probably say a lot more as well, but I'd just be repeating what others are saying over and over again. Sound familiar?

Also like. I think another thing that people might or might not be realizing about the amount of time it takes for uploads to get out, is that our dude is programming a game from scratch. Any time there's a need to put in a feature that hasn't been showcased before, he needs to program it in, then test it, and test it, and test it, and make sure it won't bug out during capture. This isn't like regular acting where if a take goes bad, you can just tell the actors what's going wrong and have it fixed in the amount of screentime the take requires.

Kinda bummed this video spent more time complaining than actually analyzing and discussing all of the information we got in recent uploads. I dont want those complaints to stand as the opinions of the community as a whole when many of us are happy with the pacing and delivery.

Guess I'll just have to wait for Nightmare Masterclass to do a video on Petscop with actual info.

I feel like you're too obsessed with "solving the puzzle" to realise Petscop isn't about that the slightest. It's about how the process of attempting to solve it, finding new pieces is simply unnerving, to the audience, to Paul and to the audience again because of Paul's reaction or LACK thereof that's really been making me uneasy since it feels like he's dead... I get being a highly logical person since I'm one, but when it comes to some media it's just better to observe and experience the whole process of the story unfolding, not just waiting for the end, the final conclusion. I honestly doubt we'll ever get a 100% clear picture of the "plot" of Petscop even after the series is concluded, it's just not that type of thing. Then again, I might just come from a different background since I've never been much of a fan of ARGs, creepypasta etc since they've simply failed to engage me due to their straightforward nature. Because they're about what you're after - the solution. And that's not it to me. It's always that whatever our minds imagine is ten times scarier than what we can see, and the art of series like Petscop is provoking our minds to think these thoughts. To really stop caring all that much about being a detective and instead, delve into the feelings it invokes along the way... Really, the way these findings are completely non-chronological should've clued you as to what kind of series it is. Non-linear, completely, absolutely. I was in absolute awe with the findings during this Easter, the sheer amount of names on the logs truly chilled me, how many people were playing that game? How many more differences did the things they see have from what Paul has seen? Because that's what's exactly been shown there. Also I wish to add to my argument what most people in the comments have been saying: there were actually lots of concrete clues in this series. It would honestly be pretty hard to list them all just like that. Ehhh... so overall.... I'm really really disappointed in this video.

Is this really the same guy who made that wonderful DHMIS video? Years have not been nice to him, apparently.

Came here for spoopy stories. Left with a renewed sense of self-worth as a creator to create at my own pace without shaming myself to "be better" and "make more, faster"

I can see why he didn't want to rush into this. This video felt more like cliffnotes than a discussion or explanation.

I really don't think you poked a bear, I think petscop was gonna update regardless of if you had mentioned it in a tweet or not

oof okay ive got some thoughts on this one nick first of all, its gotta be said: its not a bad webseries just because you cant instantly unravel the narrative within a single night of research. acting like the classic marble hornets format is the end-all-be-all of ARG-like series is frankly narrowminded, and kind of verging on arrogance when one considers your “how to make a webseries” videos. also on that note... dude, we love you, but everybody had been expecting the easter uploads for a while before you “poked the bear”. not every webseries will directly interact with you like jack torrence. thats okay. just. give yourself a quick reality check man like i said, i usually love your videos, but it feels like you were so concerned with releasing a vid because of demand that you didnt put in the level of passion and respect that hooked a lot of us to your analysis videos. and then to end the thing annoyed at the pacing feels kind of irreverent to the source material, and just general bad form i guess. anyway, despite all this, thank you for uploading and i hope to see you back at your best in the near future. keep doing what you love dude

In Petscop the creators aren't going to be the feeding hand. You have to first find the food and then eat it by yourself. That's why I like it so much, it's all about the mystery and being left in the dark

Man Nightmind has really fallen off since the Jack Torrance videos.

Wait, does he actually think that he is able to manipulate Petscop's updates? I feel like this channel has become very cocky and overestimates the amount of power they have over these ARGs. It sometimes feels like the channel attempts to insert itself into these series, believing it's involved.

The first few episodes are pretty good. Early in Paul says that the game has a living presence inside of it. Then he begins descending into madness. It's a great premise. Is the game haunted or is Paul just crazy? Then it turns out that.. it's neither? The game is just a freaky Christmas gift meant to act as a family album and train AI.

For those dissatisfied with this analysis, Nightmare Masterclass has a series where he analyses each episode and goes more into the symbolism that wasn't even touched on here.

>when game theory makes a better video on an arg then you do BIG OOF

A LOT of the questions you asked were easily answerable

They had been planning to update on Easter long before you "called them out", Nick. I love you, but please don't try to take credit for "poking the bear" into updating.

Did he not even want to put out a completion video on Petscop when it wrapped? Finished series are pretty up his alley and he could have some valuable insight. That being said, Nightmare Masterclass has a much more in-depth series on Petscop where he does legitimate and thorough research that takes the themes into account and doesn't treat it like a failed ARG. Go watch that, Nightmare Masterclass needs way more love than he gets.

It's a linear consequential story because it's not an ARG. It's a story in video game format, reminiscent of a let's play format with a creepy pasta. I think the pacing, the upload schedule, and the story reveal is all deliberate and ingenious. I feel like this slow process actually works for this story. Perhaps your expectations is to be able to solve the story before it it ends, but I personally want to unfold this on their own terms. Sorry but I have to respectfully have to disagree with this video, but it's ok. I will personally be awaiting the next chapter of this story.

Nick: [Doesn't bring up several points of evidence including REBIRTHING and a bunch of shit you can find out if you spend five minutes on r/petscop] Also Nick:"There's just not much to piece together"

Is their a reason why you keep repeating the exact same sentences over and over again? I think I was okay with hearing about the windmill disappearing once, but you just won't stop repeating it

Do you HAVE to re-read the entire notes every time?

Honestly, I think this series pacing on answers is fine, at least binge viewing the videos. If it got incredibly specific and clear, the series would lose the feeling of the uncanny that it has going for it. What I deeply love about this series having watched it to catch up with this video is the sense that the game never becomes obviously haunted by a ghost, or directly responds to Paul in a non prerecorded way. Everything that happens is always just within the realms of possibility of what is programmable. Of course, it’s possible that I’m just undergoing the Steven Universe effect and am not yet annoyed with the pacing because I haven’t had to wait extended periods for new uploads yet.

It feels like forever since I've watched a night mind video - but thats because I haven't read house of leaves :'o

About the long distance releases, you can't ask more from Petscop. Because the dates of the events are so important, and you can argue about whether it's a good choice or not, but you can't deny it's original and it makes it feel like it's getting frozen in time. Also, since the major Petscop events range from 1997 to 2000, and the channel is already 2 years old, we can expect the whole thing to be over next year at worst. Nothing sure but I think there's a high chance. Also, remember Petscop it's not ar ARG, it doesn't "need" us to do anything, it's a story that someone wants to show to the world and it's gonna wait all the time it takes to do so.

I had actually expected Petscop to update around Easter; the channel pic was replaced with an Easter egg, and from previous events, where an empty and dark pic meant no uploads were on their way, the changed seemed to indicate that updates were on their way, as well as a clue to when we would get them. I wasn't expecting five videos though.

this was really a terrible investigation. you just talk about the bare bones canon material that the easter update has given us that every other video essayer has pointed out by now and then you spend the last ten minutes of the video griping about how you're not being entertained enough. where are your own conclusions? where's the investigation?? you can't say that there's not enough information to approach it with confidence when you don't even try to piece what you're given together into a narrative, even if it could be wrong. that's the fun of petscop! there are so many ways it invites you to be active and make your own story from the info it gives you.

NM I like you stuff but I felt with this video and the last Petscop one that you had your ARG hat on way too tight. Petscop is more about intertwining themes than clues with a cut and dry solution. I feel like you were looking at it so hard and so precisely that you ironically missed a great deal.

this video was super disappointing with the constant repeating, the "critique" at the end, and the clear lack of research that went into this...

Not an ARG. It's just a slow~burn puzzle.

Nick: "I'm not going to fault Petscop for its upload schedule." Also Nick: "It shouldn't be so long between episodes, why did it take two years to get this far?" Love your content, but sometimes it seems like you're getting a wee bit too big for your britches as it were. On a lighter note: New theory on Rainer. There was an "Uncle Daniel" mentioned in the white text during the "retrace your steps" sequence, and also a Daniel mentioned as having something to do with Petscop. Rainer and Daniel are very close to each other in spelling (swap the N and I, replace the D and L with R's). Clue/lead?

I guess I was hoping this would end up as a 2 parter, because we got so much info to sift through, but all I can say is Im... kinda disappointed. If anything NightMind is the kind of person to go crazy looking into things, but here it felt rushed? Falling flat? At the very least I expected the intricacies to be prodded at more, and you of all people I expected to go digging into who u/paleskowitz is, and taking the connections of toneths description, the passage about Michael A telling his brother about not being able to be found because only Michael B exists now, "Daniel's Game," Rainer, Newmaker and how they are the same person with an indepth of supporting evidence... but this felt unenthusiastic.. for a moment I wondered if you even enjoyed making this? If you even enjoy making content anymore? I'm not saying you have to like Petscop.. I'm saying you should enjoy the content you're creating and it doesnt sound like you enjoyed this...

Totally different perspectives, I'm loving it so far. The slow pace is very enjoyable for me as it makes it more ominous and mistérios, it feels more real to me. It actually feels like he is just wandering around and randomly finding the clues just like most people would in a very big place with very little things, but to each their own, your video is still perfect dude.

Love your vidoes dude, but I have to disagree with you on the pacing of the story. But I guess that's down to personal preference.

The censors have a point. Once you see them, you're family. For them to not be censored might be something, like maybe there's a new channel owner.

Your ego knows no bounds does it.

The only bears you poke are the ones at furry conventions.

Ouch. This felt like watching those “this is how you don’t play” about the game grumps where Arin ignores all the dialogue and hints the game gives him, then spends the whole play through complaining about things the game made obvious to anyone paying half attention. Petscop is a let’s play, we’re watching the character’s thought process play out, which is integral because it gives us moments like Marvin writing “did you di” before he changes it to “did you find lina”. You can’t compare it to MH which is a documentation of a bizarre experience, Hell, I wouldn’t compare any two webseries to each other! That’s something I’ve never liked you doing because I felt like you’d loose many points that way, and this is the prime example of that. Petscop isn’t an ARG because there’s no viewer input, it isn’t a game for us to play and interact with, it’s a webseries. Not everything that appears online will fit the mold of a previous series because they’re all made by different people with different capabilities and limitations and different stories that they want to tell or experiences they want to make, and it all being on the Internet strips away many restrictions they’d have with that. They can do anything they want. Personally I love and adore Petscop, but I’ve only reached this point after a year and a half of following it since the beginning, and these new updates aren’t anything like you described. It all made sense. Maybe “summarizing what happens in each upload and shrugging your shoulders” would’ve made you realize more and more what’s going on with time, and you’d be able to sit on it. Y’know, like with a real video game.

Normally a huge fan of your uploads but I think you dropped the ball here. Normally you take a significant amount of time to analyze this type of content, but its barely been a week and you are already posting a video on it. I don't know why your entire fan base is turning on you but this video isn't up to your usual standards. If you don't like this series you shouldn't feel pressured to cover it, especially if you aren't going to give it the time it deserves. Like others have said it might be best to stick to completed content or shorter series.

I love Petscop, because yeah... like you said. It's not an ARG. It's a story about an ARG. The story isn't "what is this video game telling us" it's "this person's experience trying to figure out what that video game is trying to tell them". I'm way more invested in the OP's emotional journey than the meta-narrative of the game. The game isn't the plot, it's lore; we *cannot* figure it out on our own because we lack the lived context of our protagonist and he only tells us a fraction of what he's thinking. Figuring out lore is fun, but is icing not the cake. But I absolutely respect that that's not your cup of tea. Not every project will be for every one and that's okay.

I knew that Care was kidnapped just based on that damned calendar. The pattern was every other week, then weekends, then everything for several months. The first part is consistent with a divorce, and most kids are abducted by one of their parents when settlement terms become disagreeable to them.

This whole video summarizes why I haven’t enjoyed your content for years.

I think this really kind of has to be paced this way? it's structured like a let's play, and sometimes nothing really happens in episodes of a let's play.

You seriously need to stop pretending that all arg web series needs to follow your crazy specific rules.

Infomation in this video could be condensed into 10 minutes man. You read whole messages over and over, slowly.

Bro literally everyone knew petscop was gonna update on Easter.

You know Nicks huge ego is super pissed off that everyone is talking about pyrocynical

Night mind : releases petscop 2 Pyrocynical : wait, that's illegal

I actually enjoy the fact that petscop uploads so infrequently. It creates suspense for me and makes me excited to see a new episode rather than just having it forcefed to me all at once. I like having the time to theorise and be proven wrong or proven right and then be given more time to theorise

I gotta say, I thought the uploads were nice. The pacing isn’t any different than any other ARG. Jack Torrance literally didn’t upload for forever and then started again. Same with EMH this year AND Tribe Twelve. I figured you of all people would be accepting of irregular uploads. Do you just not like this one? It’s okay to not like it, but at least give people the kind of content they expect from you. We love your stuff man, but this one just. Isn’t it.

With Sockmuppet preparing more Petscop-related videos, I've taken to rewatch yours. And I'm still amused at how you were the only one calling out Petscop's direction -- with even me questioning your take -- and getting flak for it when it turned out you were dead right. You were discussing Unfiction as much as you were discussing Petscop.

Super disappointing. I've been a fan of your content since the start, and yet I find myself finally wondering if I should bother staying subscribed. The issue of the ignorance of the themes and various plot points of Petscop that we've had even BEFORE the Easter update aside... The arrogance. You didn't poke the bear, Nick. We all had expected an Easter update because of the updates to the Petscop page literally featuring an EASTER egg, and talking about an Easter egg hunt. And with all this arrogance like you're the smartest guy in the room, you're ignoring tons of things - Daniel's game. Rainer. Daniel, Michael Hammond's brother, is Rainer. Gara. Lina. Marvin has always been considered, at the very least, to be a representation or recording of a real person, Marvin. The husband. C'mon, dude.

12:55 Actually several games back then had the ability to record gameplay. Doom is the most notable, it records the players button inputs and can play them back as a demo. Most games that have a demo feature (like when you leave the game on the title screen and some recorded gameplay kicks on) uses a similar, if not the same, method. So if this is a copy meant for developers, its very possible and believable that they could have a demo feature.

Nick, it's just that Petscop is not an ARG, it's a Webseries

The feels when MatPat covers Night Mind subject matter better than Night Mind, lol.

You could learn a thing or two from my man *Nightmare Masterclass*

...So you don't like Petscop anymore. Just saying you're not going to cover them because you don't like the series and you don't feel like you have anything to add would have been better than this half assed video, especially for those of us who've been respectfully ignoring your House of Leaves videos because you insisted we not watch them if we weren't able to read the book. You ignored..most of the community's hard work. You ignored most of the inspirations and connections. Some of which were REALLY obvious (come on, you're going to pretend Candace Newmaker isn't even worth bringing up?). And I know you're more more in depth than this because I have been enthusiastically recommending your channel to everyone I know. You're the reason Marble Hornets wasn't a jumble of cryptic nonsense to me - I don't think you quite remember how weird and complicated single uploads of marble hornets were if you think it was more understandable than Petscop on a video-to-video basis. You're the reason I was able to follow everymanHYBRID without giving up in disgust. But this felt rushed, like you did it because you felt like you had to and wanted to skirt by on the bare minimum of work. No upload on Petscop would have been better than this.

Watching this video was absolutely maddening. It felt like parts of the video kept playing over and over again, but the lines were spoken slightly different.
