Zoochosis

Zoochosis is an independent simulator of the work as a night zookeeper with adventure elements and a horror convention. The title refers to the disease suffered by animals kept in zoos. This is the second production of Clapperheads studio after the episodic horror Sparky Marky.

Plot

In the game we take on the role of a night zookeeper who is doing his first night shift. The main task is taking care of animals. The longer the night, the more animals start to get sick and mutate into bloodthirsty monsters.

Our task is not only to take care of the animals, but also to find the cause of the mutation and cure the animals before it's too late.

Gameplay

In Zoochosis we must properly care for and look after the animals in the zoo. To achieve this, we need to prepare food from the provided resources. Thanks to specially designed workstations, work is easier and divided into stages. We can grind, portion and adjust the food depending on the species we have to feed. In addition to feeding the animals, our duties include cleaning and adjusting the temperature of the enclosures.

In work organization, a handy digital assistant is helpful, in which we can track current goals and missions.

Moreover, we must discover the source of the disease that the animals suffer from. As a result of the investigation, we will try to invent a vaccine that will protect healthy animals. Animals that have already mutated also need to be found. A sound wave detector is helpful in locating sounds emitted by monsters. We are equipped with a weapon containing a vaccine and we must hit the monster before it attacks first.

Technical aspects

The gameplay is observed from a first-person camera view placed on the character's body, which characteristically emphasizes what we see.
