Five Nights at Freddy’sfans are certainly not wanting for more games butthose looking for something different but familiar need to check out a new title calledZoochosis. The concept of surviving a night in a place overrun by terrifying monstrosities isn’t an inherently new field for horror butFNAFpopularized the formula.Zoochosismay lack the animatronic villainsand the stationary viewpoint, but it makes up for those factors by introducing some fantastically over-the-top creature designs and anomnipresent sense of fearthat can’t be escaped.
Over onSteam,developer Clapperheads releasedZoochosis, a game it describes as a “bodycam horror simulator"that places players in the boots of a zookeeper trying to care for a collection of warped animals. Throughout the game, users will need to feed the creatures while also making decisions that could determine the fate of the entire zoo and every one of its inhabitants. It’s possible to cure the animals of whatever is turning them into abominations, but the way this is done is down to the player’s decisions and how they interact with the world.
Who Is Zoochosis For?
Not For the Faint-Hearted
Despite generating a decent amount of hype ahead of its launch,Zoochosishas debuted to mixed reviews on Steam. Many users have complained that the gameplay is too repetitive, taking away any of the fear that would otherwise be present when encountering the zoo’s twisted inhabitants. The game is also allegedly prone to frame-rate issues and stuttering but these are problems that will probably be fixed in a future update.
Five Nights at Freddy’sfans will likely find plenty to love inZoochosissince the theme of being trapped insidea building with several hunting entitiesis something shared by both games.FNAFisn’t known for presenting robust and complicated mechanics, soZoochosis' simple gameplay should be enough to keep enthusiasts satisfied long enough to see at least a handful of the 23 available endings. There’s a good amount of replayability on offer, justifying an already decently-priced experience.

Could Zoochosis Get Even Better?
There’s A Good Chance It Will Improve
Developer Clapperheads is a small team so it stands to reason thatZoochosislaunched with some issues. While it may not currently have the polish of theFive Nights at Freddy’sgames, a few post-launch patches could iron out some of the more persistent technical issues. It’s also not hard to imagine some content updates expanding the gameplay, making for an experience that’s both rewarding and terrifying in equal measure.
