[@Кыскивмиске]

Zoochosis is an animal psychosis, it usually manifests as repeated movements like walking in circles, shaking heads (often seen in elephants and can be misinterpreted as dancing), can also manifest as self harm.

[@melodytrueblood4044]

I’ve seen this happen to some animals at my local zoo, they try very hard to prevent it by giving tons of thing to do and give the animals open areas but I guess it’s not enough for some of the animals

[@gretchen8100]

Sounds like the animal version of cabin fever, just a VERY advanced version

[@thefiretailedweasel6206]

Fun fact: there's a theory out there that humans are currently experiencing zoochosis! Which would make it the largest scale case of zoochosis ever known

As a zookeeper myself I can confirm that we do not feed human flesh to our animals to prevent them from turning into horrible, mutated horror monsters.

[@magicckmike]

Sounds suspiciously like what a zookeeper who feeds human meat to his animals would say...

[@Smitty1Werbenjägermanjensen]

That’s something a zookeeper who does feed human flesh to their animals to prevent them from turning into horrible, mutated horror monsters would say. Not judging though I’ve seen Jurassic Park series, I know how much people love to see horrible mutated creatures that would love to devour people.

45:00 now imagine if that reveal didn't come out until a few nights of work, where your character would periodically steal meat packets to feed his family, only to have that shit revealed to him! now that would be even more fuckin horrifying!

[@lunaxnovx]

i feel like that would be cool but removes how they get the meat so its kinda needed otherwise hed need another guy doing meat but ik what u mean

[@knightimeknight3605]

​@lunaxnovx they could just have a stockpile of meat but after a couple days you run out and then they tell you to make it

[@Inkspeckle]

yeah, real missed opportunity. for a horror game there really isnt enough buildup to the reveal to be effective. Especially with Doc just infodumping you about how there is something called "Mother" and "yeah btw the animals get infected and then they have to eat human meat" is way too sudden and casually delivered to be really scary. Would have been much more interesting if you spent the beginning getting comfortable with the mechanics, exploring a bit and finding cryptic messages from other employees. after a while the animals develop symptoms that aren't listed among the regular illnesses, and then Doc comes in with "oh don't worry, when they get like that they just need some extra protein in their diet" (aka meat). and as you explore the facility your find more evidence of something messed up going on until one of the animals does a full mutation and THATS when you get a call from Doc with something like "only fresh meat will do now" and thats when the body on the meathook comes in. especially if they did what you suggested and give the player the choice to sneak meat packets to their family before (and maybe even after) the reveal

[@deltasweetashoney8880]

@@InkspeckleI think it would have been interesting if they implemented something like Papers please where you could steal the meat and give it to your family putting your job or safety at risk by making infection more likely or don’t give them the meat and resulting in your families potential starvation as clearly this guys family isn’t in a good place. Not only would it make the decision the players fault but make it feel stronger

[@DracoHandsome]

I think the reason Jack died is because the MC's infection proceeded too far. It looks like it progresses every time you get attacked by a mutant AND regularly over the course of the story or over time. I suspect Doc hit you with it to force you to develop a treatment or cure, and maybe taking certain actions knocks it back a bit.

[@thamojster]

jack immediately dropping the lady instead of answering the phone again when she started screaming made him miss a bit where doc tells him hes infected

[@lupinelp9226]

This is why you also memorize important family phone numbers. Also, even if the meat wasn't human, why would you assume that meat that is being used to feed zoo animals is safe for humans to consume? "Food Grades" exist for a reason.

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

Definitely not worth the price for how short it is.

honestly applies to pets as well. keeping an eye on your pet's poo is king, esp when they're not feeling well. doubly applies to stuff like birds that tend to hide their symptoms until its too late, sometimes you can catch something before it gets bad just by monitoring whether they're pooping normally or not

26:52 We’re starting to wonder if hippos do in fact eat meat. We’ve been saying they’re herbivores but omnivore might be more accurate. They have a nasty habit of swallowing the creatures they attack. So eating meat might be kinda normal for them.

[@rumpeltyltskyn]

Most herbivores opportunistically eat meat. Deer will eat carrion, horses have been known to eat chickens, I’ve seen a video of a cow eating baby chicks. Even gorillas occasionally eat each others young. It’s an easy source of protein and calcium to supplement their diets. Just like even ‘true’ carnivores like cats will chew on grass for various reasons. There’s no real such thing as a ‘true’ carnivore or herbivore, just has to do with the majority of their diets.

[@raindeer9787]

Yeah. They hunt and eat more meat more than just "opportunist herbivores" imo They will sometimes wait downstream when zebras are crossing rivers to eat them if one gets swept by the water. Deer are also suspicious, too. They'll eat corpses in forests (more like an opportunist) but they'll also eat small birds, mainly out of their nests. Seems more like hunting them to me. Polar bears will also eat kelp when they can't find seals or fish.

[@fish5645]

To be fair as someone who uses those chopsaws (for wood not... other stuff) you always have the piece you want to keep on the left when using a right handed machine like that. What the game looks for and sends down the shoot is called an "offcut" which is usually either the bit that gets cut again or is thrown away. It is completely backwards to how those tools are used normally.

[@BurritoRoll]

There’s just something so comforting about Jack playing games like this 😊

[@complex2live]

Pros and Cons of this game: Pros: -A lot of fun mechanics and a tutorial that keeps you interested. -Detailed designs. -Doc's voice acting and dialogue. -Scary transformations. Cons: -Doesn't give you enough time to experiment or tell you how to use everything. -Sarah's voice acting and dialogue. -Anticlimactic ending.

[@slurpy-f3k]

I wasn’t a huge fan of Doc’s dialogue. The intro was a bit clunky and the subtitles didn’t exactly match the spoken dialogue at the times. I think the game doesn’t tell you everything on purpose so you have to experiment until you figure it out, but that can def lead to frustration for some people. It’s a really interesting concept though!

[@xXadelaydes_paradeXx]

I like the premise of the game, but I admit the execution isn’t all there. The writing could be better, the plot could do an overhaul and the mechanics need maintenance. You could do A LOT with a zoo horror game. I know I saw it from a few other comments, but having a zoo where you are slowly starting to piece clues together to get the picture would really up the ante. It should be more strategic to get the player more invested. It would also help if the dialogue had more than a somewhat monotone structure to build up the suspense. Finding the meat grinder and learning what you are really feeding my the animals is something that should’ve been closer to the end after discovering more about the animals from testing and watching their behavior. I also love the idea of trying to figure out which animals are real and which are the monsters, then finding a way to survive until the morning. But for a small game that’s under 2hrs (from the video) it isn’t bad. Needs some patches and a bit more tinkering to get that sweet spot. If this is their first game, it’s impressive. I know designing and creating games are difficult and time consuming, not including expensive, so kudos to the developers for it. It’s a lot easier to make an amazing game when you have the funds and team behind it to create it (although I’ll admit, too many games nowadays are failing on that front).

I dunno, I was super disappointed by this game. It was built up to be intelligently scary like The Thing, where the player must be smart, strategic and alert, and use their skills to determine which animals were monsters who would try to trick them into being killed, and how to survive / escape from them with skillful gameplay and a tense atmosphere. What we get here instead is incredibly boring and basic gameplay, barely any horror, zero strategic gameplay, and dreadful writing to top it off. It could've been so much more. A game where you must be smart to determine which animals were fake and save your own life from them. What we get instead is a great idea wasted.
