Zoochosis (v3.0)

A routine overnight shift at a zoo turns into an uneasy bodycam-style survival horror story where the cages are not the only things keeping danger contained. As a newly hired keeper, you feed, clean, inspect, and care for animals while noticing that something inside the facility is changing them into grotesque, unpredictable creatures. The mood leans heavily into claustrophobic dread rather than constant action, using dark enclosures, distorted animal behavior, and the pressure of working alone to make even ordinary chores feel threatening.

Daily work forms the backbone of play: preparing food, restocking supplies, cleaning habitats, and checking each animal’s condition before problems spiral out of control. Infected animals demand more than basic care, pushing you to investigate the outbreak, gather information, identify its cause, and develop treatments that may save them. Decisions carry real weight, from how you respond to dangerous symptoms to which animals receive help when resources or time run short, and survival depends on staying observant rather than simply blasting through every threat. Multiple conclusions reflect your choices, encouraging repeat runs to see who lives, what secrets the zoo hides, and whether your actions make the situation better or worse.

Zoochosis stands out by turning the familiar management tasks of a zoo simulator into sources of horror, giving the player a closer and more unsettling relationship with its animals than most monster games attempt. Its first-person bodycam presentation adds a raw, found-footage edge that suits the premise, while the mutation concept creates room for disturbing creature designs and tense encounters. Fans of indie horror with branching outcomes, such as The Mortuary Assistant or games built around stressful job simulations, should find plenty to like here. Players looking for a fast, combat-heavy creature feature may find the deliberate caretaking pace less appealing, but anyone who enjoys investigation, moral choices, and uneasy atmosphere gets a genuinely unusual horror setup.
