Description
PETSCOP: Restored is a playable Petscop recreation based on a Petscop Youtube Series.
The story places the player in a surreal and unsettling world where exploration, observation, and interpretation are key. Progress is driven not only by solving puzzles, but also by understanding the environment, interacting with characters through dialogue, and uncovering hidden details that gradually reveal the game’s narrative and underlying themes.
Gameplay focuses on exploration and problem-solving, supported by an inventory system where items must often be examined to unlock their true purpose. Dialogue interactions play an important role, and different difficulty modes adjust puzzle complexity and introduce new challenges. Combined with immersive audio, dynamic lighting, and interconnected areas, the game offers a distinctive experience that stands on its own, even for players unfamiliar with its original inspiration.
Extra info
This project is not intended to be a 100% recreation of the original series. While the source material proved highly effective as a video-based experience, several of its gameplay ideas did not fully translate into an engaging interactive format. This version takes a different approach by reworking and improving those elements, focusing on stronger gameplay design, clearer progression, and deeper player interaction. As a result, the game stands on its own and can be fully completed without any prior knowledge of the original series.
Features:
- Three Difficulty Modes: Standard Mode offers a more classic experience with accessible puzzles, while Hard Mode and Extreme-Enigma Mode introduce tougher challenges, new mechanics, and additional content for experienced players.
- New Inventory System: A redesigned inventory allows players to collect and manage a wide range of items. Items can be examined in detail, and careful inspection is sometimes required to progress.
- Improved TALK System: The dialogue system has been simplified and refined to make interactions clearer and more intuitive, improving narrative flow and usability.
- Playable Areas: Key locations such as Gift Plane, Even Care, The Hub, and the Underground Area are mostly complete and fully playable, forming the core of the game world.
- Audio and Visuals: Features 3D stereo sound within fully 3D environments, combined with dynamic lighting to enhance atmosphere and spatial awareness.
- Modding Support: Includes an SDK that allows players to create their own mods, expanding the game with custom content and gameplay variations.
