## About Zoochosis

Zoochosis is a 2024 simulation game developed and published by Clapperheads that blends zoo management with survival horror. Players take on the role of a zookeeper tasked with identifying animals suffering from parasitic mutations and crafting vaccines to cure them. The game features a bodycam-style first-person perspective that players describe as amplifying tension and creating vulnerability, while deduction-based puzzle gameplay requires mixing symptoms to craft cures. Reviewers highlight how choices directly affect multiple endings, supported by branching narrative mechanics, boss battles, and a crafting system. Body horror themes and creature design create an atmospheric horror experience. The game is priced at $24.99 USD and is marked as playable on Steam Deck, holding a 61% positive rating from 1211 Steam reviews.
