Zoochosis

Very cool! I was looking forward to this game release since it was announced! When it first came out, it definitely needed some improvements and I'm glad to see that devs have cared and updated the game based on user feedback. I would love to see more storytelling or see what they could come up with if a dlc is possible. Tasks can be repetitive but monsters are creepy. I would love to see it get even scarier!

This game definitely saved itself. Started buggy, confusing and weirdly paced. With recent updates, tutorial revamps, and added content, this game is definitely worth playing now!

I saw the mixed reviews when I bought it but I still wanted to try it myself. It's actually a pretty fun game. Still a few bugs here and there but overall I've had fun playing it. The mutations are terrifying and the gameplay of taking care of the animals is satisfying when you get the hang of it.

I've always loved this game, even though it was nothing like advertized when it came out, sure the game isnt perfect, but even after 1 1/2 years they're still giving it updates, making it better than it already was in my opinion. despite all of it's flaws, if you like a little bit of horror, a little bit of action, and story, i think you'd love the game.

Game have some problems, but it's idea and animal visuals is worth to try.

Just finished the first ending! Great game so far! First time i actually want to beat a game many times to find out the different endings! Love the story!

Hay! New update. Good to see it still getting support.
I give it Positive out of pity. Spoiler heavy review.
I did enjoy it. Its differnt than what is on the market. The premise alone was a sell for me. It’s janky but it made me smile throughout.
I can see why there is a split in opinions. The trailer was a cinematic marketing video. The released game has scaled down and has fractured people's expectations in comparison. I think the game suffers the same fate as Aliens: Colonial Marines - the trailer and the released game felt like two different products.
I had completely forgotten the game existed up until now.
The overall gameplay loop.
It's part zoo-keeping game (complete the tasks), horror themed story and a deduction puzzle game.
The goal is to deduce what symptoms animals have to mix a cure.
The parasite animal will always turn, which then starts a boss fight. Shoot the monster with lethal darts till its health bars reach 0. It will be incapacitated, not dead.
Use this opportunity to continue deducing the other animal symptoms. Each sick animal shares the same symptoms as the parasite animal, so mix accordingly, but shoot the downed monster instead.
If correctly mixed: The animal lives and deposits a parasite.
If wrongly mixed: All sick animals die.
Eventually, you have to deduce which parasite is female, then use that to create a poison to kill the main villain monster.
Personal pros:
Personally, I enjoyed the deduction puzzles and helping the animals. It reminds me of the old Zoo Tycoon games. The premise of the story and gadget use is so wacky! Care was clearly put into the animation, level design and monster design. The use of trains is interesting, as though the zoo was a modified train depot.
Cons:
The story lacks that eerie, suspenseful build-up to the point where nothing is actually scary. It's more in-your-face plot exposition dump. Everything escalated fast and became very obvious.
Every enclosure will have a parasite and monster boss fight. The battles are unintuitive because you just run around collecting lethal syringes and shooting the monster eight times. There is no strategy of hiding or outmanoeuvring the monster.
The story endings are boring. You either end up dead, turning mutant, or saving the animals by killing the source of the whole problematic zoo.
I don't know how such a game can be better. Some think multiplayer would help - but that's a fallacy. I think it needs more subtlety than loud cheap scares.
Multiple boss fights I think were a bad combination for this genre. There should have been just one fight.
