The game combines elements from many different genres of video game, such as puzzles, turn-based combat, and [[3D]] platforming. Many objectives in the game, most notably the obtaining of Pets, utilize a unique mechanic in the form of a mini-game, which is required to complete in order to "Catch" each pet. Such mini-games include [[Rhythm game|Rhythm Game]] sections, which can optionally be played using a MIDI keyboard connected to the console using a [[Capitalism|proprietary]] adapter. These adapters were produced in collaboration with [[Mad Catz]] & distributed alongside a 1GB high capacity memory card with special edition bundles of Petscop from 2000-[[9/11|2001]].

One of the most technologically impressive aspects of Petscop's design was in its Machine Learning System, which would record controller inputs while the game was being played. These inputs would then be used by the game in order to increase player immersion, by making NPCs actions appear more "human". A major downside to this system was the large amount of storage required in order to function, which is the reasoning behind including a 1GB memory card with certain bundles of the game. These memory cards were the largest ever produced for the Playstation system.
