You're the recently hired night zookeeper, Paul Connelly. The job seems simple at first. Make sure all the animals are taken care of and that they remain in their enclosures. But things get, ''really out of hand'' with discovering a parasitic organism that violently mutates the benevolent creatures into horrific monsters.

->''"Now you're our night zookeeper. The job is not difficult. You've got nothing to worry about."''
-->-- '''Unknown'''

''Zoochosis'' is an upcoming [[GenreMashup bodycam zookeeper simulator psychological survival horror]] game developed and published by [[https://store.steampowered.com/developer/clapperheads Clapperheads]].

You're the recently hired night zookeeper, Paul Connelly. The job seems simple at first. Make sure all the animals are taken care of and that they remain in their enclosures. But things get, ''really out of hand'' with discovering a parasitic organism that violently mutates the benevolent creatures into horrific monsters.

Now it is a race against the clock as your new mission is to take care of the uninfected animals, root out the ones that are mutated, make a vaccine, and cure them. But will you save all of them and survive?

The game is slated for a Q2 2024 release window. Steam page [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/2458560/Zoochosis/ here]], Announcement Trailer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx76uvIDU3s here]], and Exclusive Gameplay Trailer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5XutwxCIYY here]].

-> '''NOTE:''' If an animal is associated with a specific trope and is mutated, the species name will be in red text (i.e.: [[red:Giraffe]]). This is done to avoid repetition.

-> '''AND:''' The game is currently unreleased. These tropes are only what's been observed from both trailers, the game's website and the Steam page. Details are subject to change once the game comes out.
----

!!The tropes currently found at the moment include:
* AnimalisticAbomination: Any animal infected with the parasite mutates into horrific creatures that would give [[Film/TheThing1982]] a run for its money.
* BellyMouth: The [[red:kangaroo]]'s pouch in the announcement trailer is shown to have a wide, gaping mouth when it ambushes you.
* BodyHorror: ''Oh yes''. This game is what happens when you take a zookeeping simulator, add some Creator/JohnCarpenter, sprinkle in some [[Series/ResidentEvil Umbrella-esque creature design]], and blend it all in a ghastly confection of horrific animal mutations and claustrophobic environments.
* MoodWhiplash: The exclusive gameplay trailer starts innocent, showing the zookeeper doing his duties, interacting with the animals, and overall, a peppy atmosphere. Then one [[red:griaffe]] makes their mutation known, and it's serious.
--> '''Paul:''' "Damn, [[RaceAgainstTheClock I need to hurry up]]."
* MultipleEndings: The game's website has a section in the description with the capitalized words, '''CHOICES MATTER''', even stating that your choices will change your ending.
* SpidersAreScary: In the exclusive gameplay trailer, you turn on the TV to see a report about Australia's spiders. Paul is creeped out.
--> '''Paul:''' "Ew! Thank god I don't live in Australia. Gross spiders..."
* SpotTheImposter: Judging from the trailers, not all the animals make their transformation obvious. Infrared sensors are one such measure to see which ones are infected or not.
* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: In the announcement trailer, when Paul scans one kangaroo, they hop to another part of the enclosure.
