“Oh yeah my wife will understand me being locked into a zoo overnight. Also lemme send my kids some of the animal’s food.” We have the smartest protagonist of all time on our hands.
"My zoo currently holds a deadly parasite queen. Why don't I keep it behind a single sealed metal door. Also, I will hire a zookeeper for a single night and inject him with a parasite that could turn him at any moment so I can feed him to that parasite queen. I've got a good business here!"

This game gives me the impression of a game that crashed mid way through development and could have been something amazing, but was forced to work with what they had left. And judging by the fact the person who originally had the idea passed away, if my impression is correct, I can see what the story was. Which is beyond sad, a game that could be amazing, but failed because the person with vision for it passed away too soon. Again if I'm right, than it's pretty good for what scraps they had left of, just not what was promised. This is probably going to be my "what if" games, where I wonder if he didn't pass away what the game could have looked like. This might be a game waiting for a spiritual revision.
Yeah. I watched JSE play it, and it was boring at first, and then it just looked SO UNFINISHED and the voice acting sounds rushed. The game just feels really rushed. ):
@@RXJis300 Okay? That still doesn’t mean that they let the quality go to shit. In fact, I think it should be the opposite. If the guy that made the game originally died, the game should be made better, be more polished, and exceeded his expectations. Not this shit. This shit isn’t what we wanted to see, and I don’t think it’s what he wanted to be put out either.
Fun fact: An NDA cannot keep you from telling the law about illegal doings. That said, the protagonist sent a brick of (Spoilers from here on) presumably human meat, so he can completely pretend like everything is A-okay when morning comes, then haul ass to the PD with the brick.
I agree that its a bit weird, but in my intepertation, I think it was meant as things like scientists on other branches that regards to the situation on the zoo (zooologists technically are scientists, but they dont go around mutating and crud)
Okay, hold on - there are more animal enclosures to visit, but the game ends halfway? Firstly, from all the hype around the trailer I thought this game would be much more "open" and, tbh, longer? As many other commenters point it out, it seems unfinished, the animations are janky, the voice acting sounds flat (maybe AI?), everything feels unpolished and the actual mutated animals are underwhelming. I was imagining having to hide from them, them leaving the enclosures and going wherever, you having to figure out which one is infected *before* it transforms (like The Thing). But this ... man, I was so looking forward to it, but this isn't it. I don't know how Ryan does it, but I would not have had the patience with this buggy, unpolished mess of a game. Kudos to him for making this entertaining!

@@Zombina638 not that unnecessary... people are allowed to express their opinions on something that costs money, so people can know what other people think before they buy it
That entire end sequence had to be the worst thing I've ever seen in a game, within a minute Doc just shows up, opens the mother enclosure even though he has literally zero protection, there's a random guy lying there, Sarah knocks him out with the softest pistol whip I've ever seen, but not before her legs clip through the tracks, she says "this is for CJ" even though I was under the impression CJ was the one who got her kidnapped, then just stands there next to the body, until mother finally decides to grab everyone in the vicinity before the game cuts to nothing. Insanely disappointing.

It looks good, but very clearly needs some work. Even disregarding the apparent stability issues Ryan was having, you also have a lot of little things like the game not explaining how to save the animals or the mouth movement not matching the voicelines
It'd help if he wasn't doing the youtuber thing and ignoring text. The game actually clues you in on what to do you just have to be paying attention. For instance the drug making screen if you look at the descriptions on the various drugs you will notice half of them say "Mimicking X". That's a clue that you need to pay attention to what sickness the animal has the symptoms of before it turns and then use the appropriate mimic drug on the one that turned. The core mechanic is literally using your observation skills to diagnose the animals, so ignoring text is basically shooting yourself in the foot. But this is a game designed to be replayed multiple times, so failing isn't necessarily a bad thing. Game definitely needs ALOT of bug fixing though.
@@Zarkyun you're not wrong about that, but if you also noticed, he got caught up on the collectible log saying that one variation of the mimic drug cured the parasites, which made him think it worked on all parasites. That is something they should change since if Ryan, someone who plays these types of games a lot, gets tripped up on something stupid like that, then something needs to change.
@@Zarkyun Problem also is that you don't get previous knowing of what a MIMIC X is and what a NORMAL X is,you won't waste resources on making both if you don't know about them and the first time Ryan encountered a mutated animal(Gorilla),he had not collected the PDA/had payed 0 attention to the PDA talking about how they mimic other illnesses.
Honestly, coming from the comments and trailers , I thought we were there to save as much animals as we could from the incoming virus/thing issue. I feel that would’ve been a more interesting premise. Like imagine having to save a lion or hyena that you personally raised from this virus/thing plague that’s destroying the zoo and the animal defending you from the monsters in turn.
I mean, hey! You thought of the idea, maybe you could make a game like that! It would be really interesting for there to be a game like that. A zoo sim horror game.
@@HoneylemonMelon To be honest, I would LOVE to make a game. But, not on zoos, I’d rather do one with an animal species and spaces that I both love and are horrified of. Azdharchids and Forest settings.
I can't be the only who feel like they took their inspiration from the Happy Meat Farm ARG mid-development. I mean "the Mother", the big tentacle thing who must be fed at the end...come on.
I thought the same thing! Whenever they mentioned "Mother" I immediately thought of Happy Meat Farm - and when at the end it turned out to be this being they were feeding it felt just too much to be a coincidence.
The fact that Ryan takes notes instead of trying to remember things and then being all confused about what the code/password, is so refreshing cuz i keep seeing people just try to remember things and then raging over it
Oh cool. I’ve been waiting for this game to drop for like half a year now. Seeing the animals in these terrible situations makes me sad though, especially the giraffe.
@@Henkiespenk No, I meant the horrible virus infecting and transforming the animals into grotesque forms. I feel that the animals are still conscious during the rearranging of their bodies and are in constant burning agony,
Yea, it’s horrific, both them mutating and you having to feed them humans in order to help them It’s horrible on both the animal’s side, and the player’s side.
@@leoultimaupgraded9914 It’s worse if it’s actually the case that the virus takes over the body, leaving the suffering animal unable to do anything as they attack their keepers unwillingly, like their personal keeper that raised them for example. That would be horrific to be a part of.
I think what happened was that you were able to make a choice between giving your wife food or not giving her food, but the game bugged and did both dialogues for the option
I just got to that part. I was thinking they re-recorded the line and forgot to take out the first one, cause the first one Doc just drops the Mother line right away and in the second one it comes more naturally mid conversation like he slipped up and mentioned The Mother mid talk. Also the second version has the main character get upset over grinding up a person and mentions how suspicious the places seemed before which seems more natural, to me, then his first set of dialog. But it being the result of giving the meat or not would almost make sense. 😅 Hard to tell with this game.
Obviously this game was sadly not finished in terms of screenwriting, the script, and the overall pacing of the whole thing due to Alexander Dagan passing. It's unfortunate because the game as a concept was very interesting, rest in peace, Alexander. 😔
I was super excited for this game when i saw the trailer, but... it feels undercooked. Feels like a demo, almost. The gameplay mechanics are interesting and well-done, but the dialogue feels super stale, the lines are said with little to no emotion, and the models just.. move wrong, mainly when they're speaking - (It's also especially noticeable in the ending, where it ends up just looking like a goofy gmod animation). The fights are super underwhelming, and there's not even risk of death in them, you're just hoping it doesn't go after the other animals as you shoot the monster. Judging by how big the medicine system is and how many more animals there are, it's hard to believe they made all of this with the intention of making it last 1 hour or so. So while i don't really know what happened in there, i definetely think they rushed to release the game, which is sad to see, especially with how promising the original concept was. Edit: I noticed a lot of people in other comments are pointing out how some of the dialogue feels like it's AI generated. I'm not completely sure about it, as some of doc's dialogue does have inflections (such as little laughs and such) you wouldn't expect from an AI voice, but it is definetely possible they used some. AI or not, some things in this game are just low effort and would've taken just a little bit more playtesting to fix.
@@emperordalek102I think saying this is as bad as the day before is a bit disingenuous. While zoochosis has some considerable problems, i wouldn't outright call it a scam. The part up to when you start meeting the parasites is actually not bad. The problem is that it's just super underwhelming compared to what we expected and definitely was rushed to release..
@@D3niz3nAh, that's sad.. This game really doesn't feel like just some slop horror for youtubers made in two days, but sadly they only got to finish 40% of the concepts they had in mind, so it came out super wonky..

ironically i thought it was gonna be much worse. I remember the trailer for the game showing you cutting meat slabs and a parasite coming out of it. i was worried he sent them home with infected meat.
Man, I almost forgot abt the bodycam Paul had until after finishing the video. Was wondering how a certain someone knew about certain interactions when he wasnt around
Who else is kinda feels disappointed with the game? I feel its very janky and underwhelming for a finished game? (or It may not be 100% finished?) , other than that though the monster designs and the whole concept is really cool and spooky! Still an awesome vid!
I am. Everyone thought this game was going to be like The Thing and we would smartly have to figure out which animals were monsters and how to survive from them. Instead we got... whatever this is.
@@GameJunkyard11It seems they focused more on the Rescuing the Animals aspect, rather then the horror/strategy aspect Feels like the concept isn’t being used to it’s full extent honestly
I thought this was just a beta version or something so I was shocked to see that it was already out on Steam. 😟 It has a great concept and story, but 25 bucks isn't worth it in its current state unless it gets some _major_ polishing.
@@Thy_Guardianyeah it needs a lot of fixing. I would say there needs a better explanation on how things work. Really throws the mutated animals in there with no explanation on what to do
@@mephilesthelight4644 Yeah they should make the game longer, like adding a one week contract and having to sleep in a dortroom so endings and gameplay are shown slowly the more days you're in. With more days you can also see every enclosures atleast once. I just hope the game isn't dead and it will get patches
Was really excited for this game, and honestly still love the concept, vibe, and art direction but..... man, its really weird and disappointing how it took a whole 45 minutes into Ryan's playthrough in order for anything to happen (which is pretty bad considering that's half the game's runtime) and when things did start popping off there were zero hints as to what to do gameplay-wise and almost no lore explanation for it either
@@leoultimaupgraded9914 Theres still a bundle of enclosures that Ryan never got to visit, though idk if they were locked by him not using meat to calm mutants or if theyre unfinished
@@nexiledflare5070 you unlock them in new game+, well some of them, the endings are quite disappointing, for that kind of price tag and that amount of content, it's pretty bad
I hope this raises awareness that this is based on a true animal disease and an indication of poor animal welfare in zoos. The reason why tigers pace and why elephants sway.
Technically a disease afaik, but specifically a mental illness from what I've heard, basically I think it's kinda what happens to humans placed in solitary confinement and it can be REALLY bad, like animals can and will harm themselves in some cases and can probably harm others if it's bad enough. Luckily the real life zoochosis doesn't mutate animals into these horrifying things though, but I won't be surprised if some people have/will find out about the real life thing through trying to Google this game. That'll be an interesting and hopefully enlightening result of this game's release (and maybe it'll convice one or two people to stop keeping large dogs in small apartments, though one can only hope, even poor fish kept in bowls get this too)
Well... I thought it's gonna be much better ngl. I was looking for survival, not lore game mostly in this. Then we got 40 minutes of talking etc. not getting everything explained then gg do what you have to do - decide
Same. It was building up to be like The Thing. We thought we would have to be strategic and smart to figure out which animals were fake and how to survive from them. But nah, all of that got wasted.
They could have made like really something out of the game, especially with the parasite concept or just mutants. But I don't know if the game turned out like it did now, because of the screenwriter sadly passing away.
To be fair, I really expected this given how cinematic and repetitive some of the trailers were... and for this kind of genre. Too much to go wrong, too little in gameplay shown. Not gonna lie, I still want to see this story and go through some of the tense motions, but between the bugs and how rigid it seems, not to mention the baited setup... all leaves a sour taste to go spent $20+ on it when there's so many other good games out. It'll be on a steep sale sooner than most, the betrayed feeling is going around pretty hard.
So did I personally I like zoonamly more its kinda more goofy but also more horror its not bad just I thought there would be more it was kinda boring ngl
ngl i knew the game was gonna b very janky when I first saw the trailer, the animations all look wack, the voice acting in some parts could use work and overall the cutscenes, animal transformations and the fights are extremely underwhelming
The animal’s not doing much in the fights does seem underwhelming, but the stress they add balances it out i think but yea it’s definitely pretty jank, but more in a kinda funny way that a game breaking way imo
@@Lonkshi21It’s not “negativity” it’s legitimate concerns and feedback. Plain negativity would be more along the lines of just saying “This game sucks”
@@leoultimaupgraded9914 They really just grab you, scream in your face then just t bag you basically, when I first saw the gorilla I was like "Holy hell that's distressing" then it immediately died down when I realised there's no real threat
There is so much needing to be fixed in this game. It almost feels like they poorly stitched together Alexander's plot points and ideas and rushed the release for some reason. It's sad and I really hope they manage to fix this mess and pay justice to Alexander's story.
@@ObsidianNightFury I think you have to save the journalist, follow her to the basement, call the wife, and get the correct parasite for the poison. Jack panicked and wanted to get the scene over it so he immediately grounded her up instead of answering the phone 😭
Ever since I saw the initial teaser trailer for this game, I was thoroughly looking forward to watching you play through it. Gonna be enjoyable during dinner and my lunch break at work.
i keep hearing this isn’t the full release, but the game’s supposed to have come out today… so is it just an Alpha or something? I’m confused either way, the game needs bug fixes desperately
yeah it s out lol. I m getting this out of my wishlist and never look at it again. was really looking forward to it but no i am not playing an unfinished game
Nothing against you or the developers or anything like that but when I heard about the game I thought we were getting like a zookeeper simulator with horror elements where you had to take care of the animals each night and fight off monsters, not... What we got. I'm a bit disappointed honestly.

@@leoultimaupgraded9914 Maybe you're right, but it's sadly not the only reason I disliked it The cutscenes felt very unnatural, the dialogue would sometimes just feel soooo unnatural, almost like two AIs talking to each other. Which begs the question? Is the game voice acted? I like the monster designs and I also quite like the idea of non linear progression through the game, but like Ryan said, the pacing is not it. Man got into a boss fight without knowing what a mutant looked like, accidentally fighting the wrong gorilla 💀 All in all, this wasn't a very good first impression for me
We waited so long for the game and I rlly like the story in some places but I don't think it rlly lived up to what it should've been. It's way too fast paced despite having 8 enclosures, which I guess is another route, clearly very buggy in some spots, scratchy voice acting, and doesn't rlly tell you how to actually complete objectives certain objectives. Also from the looks of this ending Paul will likely die in every ending which sucks
I think they should update this game, adding like more days and you unlock new enclosures. Like a contract of 1 week so you have to sleep in a dortroom and stuff and not putting everything on one night
Ryans right the pacing is all over the place, why would you they show their hand so fast and have the first meat order youre supposed to do be a human?? It makes way more sense to build up to that like they did in Bioshock with the "would you kindly" requests. Also ive seen from other videos that apparently you dont even get to see the animals morph, theres just static and then boom theyre mutants. Its so lazy and disappointing and i dont know if itd even be worth it for ryan to try and get the other endings at this point. Its bugged to hell and frankly the endings all kind of suck. 😕

@@KattyKitten69 leaving out the fact hundreds of thousands were waiting for the games release, they had a lot of pressure to just push it out. Plus it’s not even that bad, the game looks extremely good, give them time
For people who keep saying this game is bad keep in mind that this is a early version of the game and it is not fully released yet which means it will not be 100% finished because as I and Ryan said it is an early copy of the game thank you
ive been waiting for this game to come out ever since i seen the trailer. i feel like all these animals would feel at home in Australia. honestly imo this game needs some tweaking and stuff to make it better because certain parts of it are not good

It looks good, but very clearly needs some work. Even disregarding the apparent stability issues Ryan was having, you also have a lot of little things like the game not explaining how to save the animals or the mouth movement not matching the voicelines

Honestly, coming from the comments and trailers , I thought we were there to save as much animals as we could from the incoming virus/thing issue. I feel that would’ve been a more interesting premise. Like imagine having to save a lion or hyena that you personally raised from this virus/thing plague that’s destroying the zoo and the animal defending you from the monsters in turn.
Considering these monsters can rip gorilla's in half, i dont think a lion is going to do much lmao
sounds like a much more fun idea
I mean, hey! You thought of the idea, maybe you could make a game like that! It would be really interesting for there to be a game like that.
A zoo sim horror game.
@@HoneylemonMelon To be honest, I would LOVE to make a game. But, not on zoos, I’d rather do one with an animal species and spaces that I both love and are horrified of. Azdharchids and Forest settings.
@@dragodracon7785 OOOOooooo ngl, that sounds awesome, if you're ever able to, you should DEFINITELY make it
I can't be the only who feel like they took their inspiration from the Happy Meat Farm ARG mid-development. I mean "the Mother", the big tentacle thing who must be fed at the end...come on.
I thought the same thing! Whenever they mentioned "Mother" I immediately thought of Happy Meat Farm - and when at the end it turned out to be this being they were feeding it felt just too much to be a coincidence.
Happy I’m not the only one who thought of this IMMEDIATELY when hearing them call it the mother lmao
Oh my god. I didn't even notice that.
I literally thought the same exact thing
Oh yes that’s one of my fav args
The fact that Ryan takes notes instead of trying to remember things and then being all confused about what the code/password, is so refreshing cuz i keep seeing people just try to remember things and then raging over it
God i remember seeing the trailer for this game and it looked insanely good and creepy, amazing to see you play it
Oh cool. I’ve been waiting for this game to drop for like half a year now. Seeing the animals in these terrible situations makes me sad though, especially the giraffe.
that,s a prettey good enclosure wym
@@Henkiespenk No, I meant the horrible virus infecting and transforming the animals into grotesque forms. I feel that the animals are still conscious during the rearranging of their bodies and are in constant burning agony,
@@dragodracon7785 ahhhh yeah fair
Yea, it’s horrific, both them mutating and you having to feed them humans in order to help them
It’s horrible on both the animal’s side, and the player’s side.
@@leoultimaupgraded9914 It’s worse if it’s actually the case that the virus takes over the body, leaving the suffering animal unable to do anything as they attack their keepers unwillingly, like their personal keeper that raised them for example. That would be horrific to be a part of.
I think what happened was that you were able to make a choice between giving your wife food or not giving her food, but the game bugged and did both dialogues for the option
OHHHH so you can choose not to give her the meat, good to hear
I just got to that part. I was thinking they re-recorded the line and forgot to take out the first one, cause the first one Doc just drops the Mother line right away and in the second one it comes more naturally mid conversation like he slipped up and mentioned The Mother mid talk. Also the second version has the main character get upset over grinding up a person and mentions how suspicious the places seemed before which seems more natural, to me, then his first set of dialog.
But it being the result of giving the meat or not would almost make sense. 😅 Hard to tell with this game.
Obviously this game was sadly not finished in terms of screenwriting, the script, and the overall pacing of the whole thing due to Alexander Dagan passing. It's unfortunate because the game as a concept was very interesting, rest in peace, Alexander. 😔
3:13 “welcome to the family son” - jack baker re7
i was thinking the same thing!!!
I was thinking something similar. 😅 👍
I was super excited for this game when i saw the trailer, but... it feels undercooked. Feels like a demo, almost.
The gameplay mechanics are interesting and well-done, but the dialogue feels super stale, the lines are said with little to no emotion, and the models just.. move wrong, mainly when they're speaking - (It's also especially noticeable in the ending, where it ends up just looking like a goofy gmod animation). The fights are super underwhelming, and there's not even risk of death in them, you're just hoping it doesn't go after the other animals as you shoot the monster.
Judging by how big the medicine system is and how many more animals there are, it's hard to believe they made all of this with the intention of making it last 1 hour or so.
So while i don't really know what happened in there, i definetely think they rushed to release the game, which is sad to see, especially with how promising the original concept was.
Edit: I noticed a lot of people in other comments are pointing out how some of the dialogue feels like it's AI generated. I'm not completely sure about it, as some of doc's dialogue does have inflections (such as little laughs and such) you wouldn't expect from an AI voice, but it is definetely possible they used some. AI or not, some things in this game are just low effort and would've taken just a little bit more playtesting to fix.
Literally the day before. All over again. Some one needs to call these devs out for scamming their fans
What happened is one of the team died. It feels like they had bigger plans, or, he did, and the end result was cut short by his loss.
Weird to criticize a game…that didnt ask…🙂↔️
@@emperordalek102I think saying this is as bad as the day before is a bit disingenuous. While zoochosis has some considerable problems, i wouldn't outright call it a scam. The part up to when you start meeting the parasites is actually not bad. The problem is that it's just super underwhelming compared to what we expected and definitely was rushed to release..
@@D3niz3nAh, that's sad.. This game really doesn't feel like just some slop horror for youtubers made in two days, but sadly they only got to finish 40% of the concepts they had in mind, so it came out super wonky..
Damn....i mean the guy shouldn't really accepted the job, but if he had to then at least he shouldn't gave that suspicious cubed meat to his family
21:53 🎶 this is a bad ideeeaaaa 🎶
Disclaimer: don’t feed your kids bricks of strange mystery meat.
RETURN THE SLAB!
49:29 I TOLD YOU IT WAS A BAD IDEA!
You’ve just turned your fam into cannibals man 😔
What's yer offer?!
return the slab I just spit my coffee
ironically i thought it was gonna be much worse. I remember the trailer for the game showing you cutting meat slabs and a parasite coming out of it. i was worried he sent them home with infected meat.
Damn near screamed when Paul gave away the meat, dude you have no idea what’s in there!!
Man, I almost forgot abt the bodycam Paul had until after finishing the video. Was wondering how a certain someone knew about certain interactions when he wasnt around
Who else is kinda feels disappointed with the game? I feel its very janky and underwhelming for a finished game? (or It may not be 100% finished?) , other than that though the monster designs and the whole concept is really cool and spooky! Still an awesome vid!
I am. Everyone thought this game was going to be like The Thing and we would smartly have to figure out which animals were monsters and how to survive from them. Instead we got... whatever this is.
@@GameJunkyard11It seems they focused more on the Rescuing the Animals aspect, rather then the horror/strategy aspect
Feels like the concept isn’t being used to it’s full extent honestly
@@GameJunkyard11 Yeah! Honestly lets hope they fix it up..
@@leoultimaupgraded9914 Yes agreed!!
I thought this was just a beta version or something so I was shocked to see that it was already out on Steam. 😟
It has a great concept and story, but 25 bucks isn't worth it in its current state unless it gets some _major_ polishing.
Love you Ryan. Thanks for getting out a longer less edited video for my birthday
Happy birthday 🥳
Yoooo its my bday too!😅
Happy birthday to you too😊
Did you get presents?
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Nothing2CHere, Happy Birthday to you!👍
Happy birthday!!
First day, immediately steals food...
When I hear of a zoo horror game, I thought of Zoonomaly. But realized this is a different game
If I remember correctly the developer of that game called it that and or made it to capitalise on the hype for this one.
1:25:53 animation error, the hands are reaching to grab everyone preemptively
There are way more errors in this game anyway
@@Thy_Guardianyeah it needs a lot of fixing. I would say there needs a better explanation on how things work. Really throws the mutated animals in there with no explanation on what to do
@@mephilesthelight4644 Yeah they should make the game longer, like adding a one week contract and having to sleep in a dortroom so endings and gameplay are shown slowly the more days you're in. With more days you can also see every enclosures atleast once. I just hope the game isn't dead and it will get patches
@@Thy_Guardian have things progressively get worse as the week goes on
@@mephilesthelight4644 Exactly. Too much is happening in such a short session
Finally a RUclipsr I like playing this. I’m scared yet very excited.
If you want another jack has played this
The old fella was walking like somebody gottem up in his backside 😂😂😂 walking a little sore there brother 🤣🤣🤣
All those poor gorillas
Also that ending 😂😂😂
Was really excited for this game, and honestly still love the concept, vibe, and art direction but..... man, its really weird and disappointing how it took a whole 45 minutes into Ryan's playthrough in order for anything to happen (which is pretty bad considering that's half the game's runtime) and when things did start popping off there were zero hints as to what to do gameplay-wise and almost no lore explanation for it either
26:08 When I heard the Chao Garden music nostalgia hit so hard 😭❤
Ryan trying to save a mutant gorilla instead of killing it and then all of the good ones die,bruh.
Was bouta go to bed, but...
Hope you got a good sleep

Nice to know Ryan actually pronounces Zoochosis correctly
Pyrocynical pronounced it “Zoo-cho-sis” instead of “Zoo-ko-sis”
Ryan: "You just stumbled upon some gold."
Me, who already has an understanding of this game: "HA! No."
16:05 - 16:09 LMAOO not Dawko and 8-Bit basically making the same joke 😭😭
Can't wait for the game to come out fully! Want to see more than a bad ending.
this isn’t the full game?
@@leoultimaupgraded9914 Theres still a bundle of enclosures that Ryan never got to visit, though idk if they were locked by him not using meat to calm mutants or if theyre unfinished
@@leoultimaupgraded9914No, he said he got access before the release at the start
@@nexiledflare5070 you unlock them in new game+, well some of them, the endings are quite disappointing, for that kind of price tag and that amount of content, it's pretty bad
@@nexiledflare5070most likely unfinished
Bro hit Ryan with that devious lick 😂
23:09 Bro that ain't a fish that's a whole ichthyosaur 😭
Damn everything went south for Ryan so quickly 😂
penguins are my favorite animal when I use to go to the Portland Zoo, but the penguin exhibit is quite stinky, from the fish they eat
Finally i was waiting for this as well thanks so much Ryan i am so happy❤🎉🎉
I hope this raises awareness that this is based on a true animal disease and an indication of poor animal welfare in zoos. The reason why tigers pace and why elephants sway.
What’s the disease called? Poor animals 😢
@@wojskambrozyzoochosis
Technically a disease afaik, but specifically a mental illness from what I've heard, basically I think it's kinda what happens to humans placed in solitary confinement and it can be REALLY bad, like animals can and will harm themselves in some cases and can probably harm others if it's bad enough. Luckily the real life zoochosis doesn't mutate animals into these horrifying things though, but I won't be surprised if some people have/will find out about the real life thing through trying to Google this game. That'll be an interesting and hopefully enlightening result of this game's release (and maybe it'll convice one or two people to stop keeping large dogs in small apartments, though one can only hope, even poor fish kept in bowls get this too)
Well... I thought it's gonna be much better ngl. I was looking for survival, not lore game mostly in this. Then we got 40 minutes of talking etc. not getting everything explained then gg do what you have to do - decide
Same. It was building up to be like The Thing. We thought we would have to be strategic and smart to figure out which animals were fake and how to survive from them. But nah, all of that got wasted.
They could have made like really something out of the game, especially with the parasite concept or just mutants. But I don't know if the game turned out like it did now, because of the screenwriter sadly passing away.
To be fair, I really expected this given how cinematic and repetitive some of the trailers were... and for this kind of genre. Too much to go wrong, too little in gameplay shown. Not gonna lie, I still want to see this story and go through some of the tense motions, but between the bugs and how rigid it seems, not to mention the baited setup... all leaves a sour taste to go spent $20+ on it when there's so many other good games out. It'll be on a steep sale sooner than most, the betrayed feeling is going around pretty hard.
So did I personally I like zoonamly more its kinda more goofy but also more horror its not bad just I thought there would be more it was kinda boring ngl
These are shortest dialogues I've ever seen, except the start but it's normal
I hope they'll fix this game
Bro feeds his family with infected meat
Good luck
Death
*begone, bot*
ngl i knew the game was gonna b very janky when I first saw the trailer, the animations all look wack, the voice acting in some parts could use work and overall the cutscenes, animal transformations and the fights are extremely underwhelming
The animal’s not doing much in the fights does seem underwhelming, but the stress they add balances it out i think
but yea it’s definitely pretty jank, but more in a kinda funny way that a game breaking way imo
Why so much negativity?
@@Lonkshi21It’s not “negativity” it’s legitimate concerns and feedback. Plain negativity would be more along the lines of just saying “This game sucks”
@@leoultimaupgraded9914 They really just grab you, scream in your face then just t bag you basically, when I first saw the gorilla I was like "Holy hell that's distressing" then it immediately died down when I realised there's no real threat
They have to fix all of these bugs before launch date. And fix the lack of atmosphere. For Alexander.
There is so much needing to be fixed in this game. It almost feels like they poorly stitched together Alexander's plot points and ideas and rushed the release for some reason. It's sad and I really hope they manage to fix this mess and pay justice to Alexander's story.
Ryan, you did one of the endings, not doing what you’re supposed to do gives you either the bad ending or the good ending.
What can you do to get the good ending? Jack got a bad ending
@@ObsidianNightFury I think you have to save the journalist, follow her to the basement, call the wife, and get the correct parasite for the poison. Jack panicked and wanted to get the scene over it so he immediately grounded her up instead of answering the phone 😭
@ ah ok
Ever since I saw the initial teaser trailer for this game, I was thoroughly looking forward to watching you play through it.
Gonna be enjoyable during dinner and my lunch break at work.
The only reason i could watch though this is because ryan was entertaining. The game seriously fell flat is alot of places
Finally, I'm excited to see Ryan play this
i hope it s an alpha build or something it looks really rough. pretty disappointed if it s close to release in this shape
Besides giving me a good laugh, those bugs at the end completely ruined my opinion of this game. And after such a promising introduction.
@@BIG-BASH the actual game is not even close to what trailer showed us quality wise
Apparently this isn’t the full release so there’s some hope yet!
i keep hearing this isn’t the full release, but the game’s supposed to have come out today… so is it just an Alpha or something? I’m confused
either way, the game needs bug fixes desperately
yeah it s out lol. I m getting this out of my wishlist and never look at it again. was really looking forward to it but no i am not playing an unfinished game
This game reminds me of the Thing, it's all normal until a damn parasite infects and takes over!
This is so hype, I’ve been waiting for so long for this game
Love how Ryan is the first person (that I’ve seen) that’s actually managed to cure an animal. Any other RUclipsr I’ve watched has just gone “Kill it”
5 hours of content in 2 days, what a madman.
Nothing against you or the developers or anything like that but when I heard about the game I thought we were getting like a zookeeper simulator with horror elements where you had to take care of the animals each night and fight off monsters, not... What we got. I'm a bit disappointed honestly.
Finally!! I've been WAITING for this game to come out for FOREVA! Been dying to see this game and 8BitRyan gets to play it first!!😆
I knew it! I knew you would play this game, it's amazing!
YES YES THANK YOU SO MUCH RYAN I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU PLAY THIS YOU'RE MY FAVORITE ANDI LOVE YOU AAAAAAAAAA FLAPPING AND SCREAMING RN WELOVEYOUSOMUCH-
Another peak video
Who?
Ryan is the first youtuber I've seen who actually figured out how to cure the animals! Justice for da Wallaby!
What’s the cure called
@@Owe-g9b123 there are mutliple ones depending on which illness it mimicks, but they all end with 'feralis'. One was toxicus feralis which heals the infection with all four symbols.
@@YannickJur thank you thank you!
@@YannickJur if you can you don’t have to can you name them all you don’t have to because probably finding all of them would be annoying but maybe you can it’s ok if you don’t
When you were dealing with the infected gorilla... I realized it said "Animal blood" not gorilla blood. You could've just went to a diff enclosure.
You can't leave the enclosure you're in until all tasks are finished
Free videos that are more than an hour long in a row Ryan? Wow you really pulling out all the stops for us😂 THANK YOU!❤
I saw the waliby enclosure and immediately thought: PROTECT THE CUTIES!!
I hope they continue to work on the game and update it in the future, it's playable but it does need some polishing, I know they had lost the screenwriter, and the game seems rushed, but I hope they continue to put more love into it on their behalf.
I won't lie I was kinda disappointed with the game
seems pretty underwhelming imo
Me too haha
Idk I like the tension it adds with helping the animals and stuff
Apparently this isn’t the full release though, so maybe these bugs and jank we’re currently seeing will be patched? Best I can hope for
@@leoultimaupgraded9914 Maybe you're right, but it's sadly not the only reason I disliked it
The cutscenes felt very unnatural, the dialogue would sometimes just feel soooo unnatural, almost like two AIs talking to each other. Which begs the question? Is the game voice acted?
I like the monster designs and I also quite like the idea of non linear progression through the game, but like Ryan said, the pacing is not it. Man got into a boss fight without knowing what a mutant looked like, accidentally fighting the wrong gorilla 💀
All in all, this wasn't a very good first impression for me
Yeah same.
Omg yes I saw this game, and I’ve been following it for a while and I’m so happy it’s out finally
Love the channel because there is ZERO dead air,
*Raise your hand if you've been watching 8-bitryan for a long time 🤚*
I raised it
🙌
✋️
You did this for fusionZGamer and now for 8 bitryan okay then
Hands up ✋✋✋✋✋
✋🏻
Dude crushed the parasite that was the most scared to die without realizing it lol..
We waited so long for the game and I rlly like the story in some places but I don't think it rlly lived up to what it should've been. It's way too fast paced despite having 8 enclosures, which I guess is another route, clearly very buggy in some spots, scratchy voice acting, and doesn't rlly tell you how to actually complete objectives certain objectives. Also from the looks of this ending Paul will likely die in every ending which sucks
I think they should update this game, adding like more days and you unlock new enclosures. Like a contract of 1 week so you have to sleep in a dortroom and stuff and not putting everything on one night
i was so excited for this game to come out and the wait WAS WORTH
rip Alexander Dagan🕊
I got sick so seeing Ryan play zoochosis has made my day
Ryans right the pacing is all over the place, why would you they show their hand so fast and have the first meat order youre supposed to do be a human?? It makes way more sense to build up to that like they did in Bioshock with the "would you kindly" requests. Also ive seen from other videos that apparently you dont even get to see the animals morph, theres just static and then boom theyre mutants. Its so lazy and disappointing and i dont know if itd even be worth it for ryan to try and get the other endings at this point. Its bugged to hell and frankly the endings all kind of suck. 😕
Not surprised
one of the main devs died what do you expect
hard to make a game while grieving a lose and short of a main dev
@@AndrewVaz-n6rthat's not an excuse, even If one of the developers died they couldve delayed the game, but instead they decided to rush it for the release
@@KattyKitten69 leaving out the fact hundreds of thousands were waiting for the games release, they had a lot of pressure to just push it out. Plus it’s not even that bad, the game looks extremely good, give them time
According to the devs, there are a lot of endings...
Who?
RYAN ISTG PLEEEEAAAASSSEE PLAY STRAY, LITTLE KITTY BUG CITY OR DELTARUNE I’VE BEEN ASKING FOR SO LONG YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH BOTH THOSE GAMES 🥹🙏
Mumbai I meant big city typo :/
The fact that I am scared by horror that I get nightmares for weeks but this british guy makes it watchable is a blessing for life :D
It melts my heart to see Ryan's pure heart in games like this. He tries his absolute hardest not to kill people or things that don't deserve it.
I've been waiting a long time to come out
For people who keep saying this game is bad keep in mind that this is a early version of the game and it is not fully released yet which means it will not be 100% finished because as I and Ryan said it is an early copy of the game thank you
I guess but it still deserves criticism
And also the screenwriter literally died so
thank you ryan
Great vid Ryan, you never disappoint😀
Super excited for this one, I have been waiting for the game to release
TWO LONGER LESS EDITED EPISODES IN TWO DAYS?!?! How does Ryan manage this?
ive been waiting for this game to come out ever since i seen the trailer. i feel like all these animals would feel at home in Australia. honestly imo this game needs some tweaking and stuff to make it better because certain parts of it are not good
around 54 minutes in and this is harambe all over again
Just watched Jack play this game and the second the lady screamed, Jack just gutted her alive LMAO
Good on you, Ryan, for not being a murderer 😟
YESSS FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING lol THANK YOU SO MUCH-
I’ve been following this game since it was first announced, and compared it to Metroid Fusion.
this game needs to be longer
