Zoochosis

About

You’re on night shift at a zoo that’s officially closed. Your bodycam records everything as you patrol enclosures, but something’s off. Animals display violent, unnatural behavior. A secret parasite is turning them into bloodthirsty mutants that want you dead. Your job isn’t just to survive, you must track infected creatures, gather samples, and brew vaccines to reverse the infection. Every choice matters. Save too many and you risk exposure. Let too many go and the zoo becomes your tomb. The game thrives on tense decision-making and claustrophobic horror. Mutant designs are grotesque and inventive, with animations that lean into visceral horror. The bodycam perspective amplifies realism, making every creak and growl feel immediate. While it lacks multiplayer or open-world variety, its 8-hour runtime and branching outcomes keep replayability high. Early access reviews note a few glitchy AI behaviors but praise the atmosphere as “relentlessly creepy.”

Storyline

Zoochosis is a spine-chilling bodycam horror simulation game where you play a zookeeper about to start their first night shift. As you strap on your bodycam and go about your rounds, you notice strange behaviour from some of the animals in the enclosures, behaviour unlike anything you have ever seen before. A terrifying parasite is spreading, mutating some of the animals into grotesque versions of themselves, blood-thirsty and ready to do anything to kill you so they can escape. You must identify the infected animals and make vaccines to cure them before the parasite spreads out of control and to the wider zoo. Unravel the mysteries of the zoo and save the animals to save yourself as your choices will ultimately determine your ending. Will you survive the night? ​
