Review
An apocalypse (of an unspecified nature) takes place, and you decide that it’s best to take refuge in a Zoo. I’m not sure I buy the game’s reasoning, but let’s keep going anyway.
Much of the game consists of making decisions to maintain this zoo and manage the animal inhabitants within. You may also get a companion to join you, for better or worse when it comes to the zoo. There is some level of branching, as well as a final battle of sorts where you can reach a bad end.
Unfortunately, it’s just hard to have an engaging story and gameplay with this sort of setup. The writing is good, and it is interesting to think about choices regarding the different types of animals within, as well as to learn more about them. The product, as a whole, just isn’t as entertaining. The game’s branching does allow for some replay value, but it was difficult to motivate myself to go for another round.
All in all, it’s a polished and competently made game. Just that it wasn’t something which I really enjoyed.
