Zoochosis: 1 another Way for Wacky, Wild Ride Into Madness

Plot: Where Sanity Takes a Coffee Break

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be the only normal person in a world where everything around you is just wrong? Well, welcome to Zoochosis, a game where sanity takes a vacation and you’re left holding the bag. Picture this: you wake up, and everything seems off. Talking animals? Check. A world that feels like it was designed by a mad scientist who got into the “weird” drawer? Double check. And the worst part? You’re stuck in this cartoonish dystopia with no instructions and a whole lot of confusion.

The game’s story doesn’t just want you to follow along — it wants to break your brain, slap it back together with duct tape, and send you spiraling into madness. You’ll be trying to figure out what’s going on, but Zoochosis? It doesn’t want to make sense. That’s where the fun kicks in!

Gameplay: Think You Know What’s Going On? Think Again

In Zoochosis, you’ll spend most of your time navigating a world that absolutely refuses to follow the rules.

There are puzzles that seem to be missing a piece (or three), rooms that flip upside down for no reason, and NPCs who talk like they’re in a bad improv skit. The gameplay is a mix of “wait, what?” and “okay, now that’s just mean,” but in a way that makes you want to keep going.

The puzzles themselves are devilishly clever. Sometimes, they’re the kind that makes you feel like a genius when you solve them. Other times, they’re the kind that make you want to throw your controller and then realize… you’ve been outsmarted by a talking giraffe. And the enemies? Oh, they’re bizarre. Think of creatures that look like they crawled out of a Salvador Dalí painting after a bad dream. Avoiding them feels like running from your weirdest nightmares — except you can’t wake up. Fun, right?

Visuals and Sound: A Bad Acid Trip (In the Best Way)

Visually, Zoochosis is like what would happen if Adventure Time had a bad trip. The environments are this weird mish-mash of bright, almost childlike colors and shapes that seem a little… off. It’s like everything is just slightly melting, like a candle left in the sun. And the characters? They’re weird in a way that feels both charming and unsettling. Picture a cartoon zoo where the animals have seen too much. Yeah, that.

The sound design is a star player here. One minute you’re listening to a cheery little tune, the next you hear whispers and distant screams. It’s like the soundtrack can’t decide whether to hug you or haunt you, and it’s so effective at keeping you on your toes. You’ll find yourself questioning whether that noise was in the game… or in your room. I’ve checked behind me more than once.

Replayability: The Gift That Keeps on Confusing

Here’s the thing about Zoochosis: even after you’ve beaten it (if you survive with your sanity intact), you’ll have no clue what just happened. That’s the fun part! The story is so weird, so twisted, and so full of layers that you’ll want to dive back in and see what you missed. And trust me, you missed a lot. Every playthrough will have you going, “Wait, that wasn’t there before, was it?” and piecing together more of the puzzle (or unraveling it, depending on how you look at it).

It’s one of those games where the more you play, the more you get out of it. But also, the more confused you become — and somehow, that’s the magic.

Verdict: Crazy Fun or Just Plain Crazy?

Zoochosis is like being inside a funhouse mirror version of reality — where everything is familiar but distorted enough to make you uncomfortable. It’s not going to hold your hand, and it sure as heck isn’t going to explain itself. But if you love games that mess with your mind and make you laugh out loud in disbelief (seriously, why is that giraffe lecturing me on existentialism?), then this game is right up your alley.

Is it weird? Absolutely. Is it frustrating? Oh, for sure. But is it fun? You bet your weird talking animal it is.

Final Score: 8.5/10

Zoochosis is available on the following platforms:

• PC (Steam)
• PlayStation 4 & 5
• Xbox One & Series X/S
• Nintendo Switch

Each platform provides the same core experience, though the game really shines on PC due to its highly detailed visuals and easier controls for puzzle-solving. However, the console versions are equally fun if you’re looking for a more laid-back, couch-gaming vibe.
