Body Horror Sim ‘Zoochosis’ Announced for PlayStation Consoles [Trailer]

After launching on Steam last September, Clapperheads’ body horror sim Zoochosis has turned to infecting PlayStation. No release date has been announced, but the game will be coming to PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 4.

Just in case you missed it, Zoochosis is a first-person simulation title that utilizes a bodycam perspective to give your body horror experiences 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.

While the concept sounds cool, and even Aaron said as much in his review of the Steam version, but the game’s various issues at the time of release led it to be a frustrating and unpolished experience.
