I haven't seen a thread for it yet so I figured I would make a new one.

> The Petscop ARG revolves around an obscure PS1 game called Petscop. The game was unearthed by a YouTuber named Paul, who has sporadically been uploading videos of the game on his YouTube Channel. As Paul's playthrough progressed, it became clear that there was far more to Petscop than initially met the eye.Basically it's a mysterious "Let's Play"-style series for a game that doesn't exist. The first ten episodes were uploaded March - May 2017. Petscop 11 was uploaded on December 25, 2017 and Petscop 12 was released January 4, 2018, which indicates the consistent uploads are beginning again.
There's so many theories surrounding it with no real indication of who made the series, what it's even about, and how it's going to end, but at the moment it's pretty much a crowd-sourced mystery solving effort. The wiki needs desperately to be tidied but it does feature the essentially "confirmed" theories, such as the Candace Newmaker theory, the color theory, and the Dr. Seuss theory.
It is creepy and a little disturbing, featuring themes like child abuse, kidnapping, and the death of children, but it isn't graphic and there are no jump scares aside one startling instance in episode 11.
Watch it. Talk about it with me.
