The pause menu
The pause menu in Petscop has various options and displays the amount of pieces a player has along with a message.
Selections[]
- Resume Game: Unpauses the game. (This can also be done with the Start button.)
- Options: Changes the game's settings such as the volume, graphics, controls, and the sound test.
- Pets: View the list of pets and their descriptions.
- Book of Baby Names: Brings up the "Petscop Kids" Credits Section. (Paul stated that this selection doesn't do anything, although in Petscop 24 it shows this "credits" section.)
- Quit Game: Allows the player to save and quit the game. (Recording playback typically does not show this option.)
Secret Menu[]
- Main article: Secret menu
In the Sound Test menu of the Options section, playing the correct sounds in a specific order will cause the player to access a secret menu that allows the use of direct recording playback, Room Impulse, and images shown in "Extra Stuff".
