Indie developer Clapperheads have announced that their mash-up of psychological horror, bodycam horror and John Carpenter’s The Thing in Zoochosis will launch on September 23 on Steam. The release date announcement has been accompanied by a new trailer, which as you might expect, turns into something out of Rob Bottin‘s dreams in a hurry.
For the uninitiated, Zoochosis is a first-person simulation title that utilizes a bodycam perspective to get that extra personal touch. You play a zookeeper about to start their first night shift. As you suit up and go about your rounds, you notice some strange behavior from some of the animals in the enclosures. It turns out that these animals have a parasite that is causing some nightmarish mutations in the zoo population. The bloodthirsty, murderous, body horror type of mutations. And it’s spreading.
You must identify the infected animals and make vaccines to cure them before the parasite spreads out of control and to the wider zoo. In doing so, you’ll be uncovering the mysteries of the zoo and save the animals in order to save yourself. Your choices will ultimately determine the ending.
Along with dealing with the infected, you’ll also have to keep up with your duties as a zookeeper for the uninfected animals. That means taking care of them, choosing and preparing their meals, as well as restock and clean up after them in their respective enclosures.
