Zoochosis

Zoochosis follows Paul Connolly, a man desperate for work to put food on the table for his wife and daughter. He joins the Pine Valley Zoo as a Night Zookeeper, tasked to feed and cure the animals of any sicknesses. The game starts with a huge red flag as Paul signs a non-disclosure agreement that prohibits him from disclosing any information to third parties. His probation period starts immediately after signing, when his employer, Doc, seemingly drugs him. We quickly find out, however, that this drugging wasn’t something as simple as chloroform.Paul’s first night on the job consists of moving from enclosure to enclosure, feeding each animal the correct amount of food, and diagnosing them with ongoing ailments. But as these mundane tasks occur, Paul’s not feeling too good. In fact, worms are moving underneath his skin like a scene out of FROM.You aren’t the first, nor the last to enter the Pine Valley Zoo. This Night Zookeeper position has been available before. The lockers lined up in The Hub prove this. You can find former employee’s records of events, giving insight into what happened to them. Someone is observing your behavior, but what for? Employee records imply that it’s to make sense of the parasite and how it affects humans. Could the Zoo Keepers be unwilling participants in the Pine Valley Zoo’s experiments? It sure looks that way.Getting out of this situation alive doesn’t seem like an option—especially after signing that concerning NDA. That high salary is likely out of arms reach. But if you decide to defy Doc and use your time to explore Pine Valley Zoo, you may just find a way to make it out of your first shift alive.Paul quickly learns that the Pine Valley Zoo is far from an ordinary animal facility. Behind The Hub lies The Mother, the source of all parasites. She secretes these small organisms from her body, waiting for them to latch onto a new host. Their purpose is to live off food but aren’t specific to a particular host. #Zoochosis
