⚫︎ Parasites will not reappear on dead bosses
⚫︎ Fixed a bug causing players to appear outside the map after starting a new game
⚫︎ Synchronized subtitles

⚫︎ The credit roll is faster, and you can skip it
⚫︎ Added background music to the game and fixed visual bugs to make scenes more polished

⚫︎ Returned the NewGame+ button to the main menu
⚫︎ Fixed a bug causing Linda to call again in the final enclosure
⚫︎ Fixed the subtitle during the Bathroom Ending
⚫︎ Fixed Sarah’s line being repeated during a phone conversation with her husband
⚫︎ Fixed Paul’s teleportation to the axe after his conversation with the Doc about murdering Sarah
Listening To The Community
Despite a rough release week, Clapperheads released these patches to demonstrate their dedication to making Zoochosis the best zoo-keeping horror game ever. “Your reviews and feedback are very important to us. We are reading and learning from every one of them, both positive and negative,” they shared in their first patch note release. Since then, they have sent out six additional patches to improve the gameplay experience for all players. They also mentioned, “We are working hard to improve the game as quickly as possible.”
Although Clapperheads released several fixes, players are still pointing out some issues in the game. Their seventh and most recent patch included a message assuring players of future improvements: “We continue working to improve your gaming experience,” they said. If you’re already playing the game, you can send your feedback to their official social media accounts.
Zoochosis is currently available at a 10% introductory offer for $22.49 USD until October 15 on Steam.
