Released Winter 2023
Zoo Boss is an online multiplayer zoo simulation game, where up to four players can work together to design the zoo of their dreams.
Zoo simulators typically include a single-player, top-down experience, where players place buildings from an almost omniscient perspective.
Zoo Boss instead transforms this experience into an online multiplayer environment, with the design intention of allowing players to feel as though they are physically shaping their zoo.
