Clapperheads has announced Zoochosis, a bodycam horror simulation game in which you play as a night zookeeper. It will launch for PC via Steam in Q2 2024.
“We are thrilled to unveil our latest horror project, Zoochosis, to the world,” said Clapperheads CEO and co-founder Oleg Gaze in a press release. “We’re always on top of trends, and we think bodycams are a killer way to amp up the tension and really get players really in the heart of the game. And trust me, in Zoochosis, there’s a lot going down! We have handpicked a theme that we feel is a real crowd-pleaser, not just for our team but for many more people; animals. Not just animals, but the big focus on saving them, stopping them from vanishing off the face of the earth. Then bam! You’re thrown into this crazy scenario where as a night zookeeper, a parasite infects your animal friends, and it’s a matter of survival for you and the animals in your care.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Clapperheads:
About
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 behavior from some of the animals in the enclosures, unlike anything you have ever seen. 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 to 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?
