ever since I played 8:11, i've been slowly trying to play more games with religious themes to see if i can manage to deal with my religious trauma in a way that feels safe and comforting to me. that's when i came across this game, and let me tell you something... it's really good. not going to spoil anything, just try it out for yourself and see <3

the best game i've never played.
petscop is a series that perfectly encapsulates how it feels like to grow up with childhood trauma, memory loss, and a history of abuse. in a story that doesn't shy away from really dark themes (such as death, kidnapping, and possibly csa)—what made me obsess over Petscop from the get-go are the characters, the way they react and live with their respective traumas, and the found family topics that so heavily influence the series. (also: as a system, paul and carrie's story felt so relatable and oh so familiar to me, augh.)
in a way, to me, the appeal of Petscop was how perfectly it played the "guy who found the haunted video game" creepypasta—but with a twist! everything posted at first felt so genuine and realistic. that, combined with the bone-chilling uncanniness of the gameplay, made it a surreal experience. being alone in this cosmic horror altered state made my chest feel heavy.
this little game, with its gorgeous characters, will forever have a special place in my heart.
