Our take on ZooKeeper
The zoo-management focus leaves little room for combat or conventional exploration. Progress instead depends on arranging habitats, caring for animals, managing employees, paying salaries, and adding attractions for visitors.
What is ZooKeeper?
ZooKeeper is a low-poly game about building and managing a zoo.
Players construct species-specific enclosures, paths, decorations, visitor attractions, and biomes suited to the climate of rare animals. Zoo management includes feeding animals, cleaning their enclosures, treating illness, and maintaining their mood through fun. Players also manage employees and pay their salaries on time. As the zoo develops, its collection can expand to include extraordinary species, including long-extinct reptiles. The main objective is to make the zoo as popular as possible while developing its facilities, animal habitats, staff, and visitor attractions.
