Is Zoonomaly worth it?

Zoonomaly is worth it if…

  • you care more about atmosphere, sound design and creature design than about combat
  • you enjoy exploring at your own pace in a nonlinear open world

Monsters you can only outrun

The creatures roaming this zoo share one rule: they cannot be killed. Some wander and ignore you, others lock on and chase until they catch you, and your only real options are distance or a well-timed shot from the Bloom O'Bang, a tool that stops a pursuer in its tracks. It has a second trick too: through it you can see the invisible monster aura spectrum, the glow that shows where the things you cannot quite see actually are. When in doubt, the game's own advice is simple. Run.

An open zoo with no set route

Zoonomaly is nonlinear: the zoo is open to you and any path can lead to the end. Twenty key shards are scattered across the grounds, each one hidden inside an animal enclosure behind a puzzle or a maze. Which enclosure you tackle first, and in what order, is entirely your call. You can save anywhere at any time, which matters, because a bad puzzle attempt or an unlucky encounter should not cost you an hour of walking. Save often, and the trial and error stays a game instead of a chore.
