Zoochosis

You take the role of a zookeeper working the night shift at a strange zoo. When some animals begin showing signs of infection and mutation, you investigate what is happening and try to save them.

Your duties include feeding animals, restocking supplies, cleaning enclosures, and examining animals for symptoms. You use what you learn to identify illnesses and prepare treatments.

When animals mutate, you may have to face them directly as you work to cure them. Decisions about which animals to save and other story choices lead to different outcomes and endings.

Players who enjoy Zoochosis often praise its unusual mix of zoo care and horror, especially the premise of diagnosing infected animals and trying to cure them. Mutant animal designs, the atmosphere, and the chance to replay for different choices and endings also appeal to some players. Others find the animal-care routine repetitive or the game’s instructions unclear.
