Manage Your Own Zoo in This Sim Game with Stardew Valley Vibes

If you like soothing pixelated games like Stardew Valley, enjoying the freedom to act, explore, and take on tasks with relaxing background music, here’s an upcoming title that might pique your interest. 

Super Zoo Story is an indie role-playing game where you rebuild the destroyed zoo once managed by your father and bring back its former glory. It features over 70 animal species, including hippo, turtle, tapir, capybara, elephant, penguin, and more, which can be found when exploring mysterious caves or places. Take care of them by building their habitats, providing medical help, and decorating them with various cosmetics. 

For those fond of animal crossbreeding and creating unique color patterns and new colors, the game allows you to combine the DNA of animals and dinosaurs to breed. Except for terrestrial animals, one of the preview images on Steam showcases an underwater scene, which is an oceanarium where you can keep aquatic species like fish and corals. 

Not only do the various animals live on this lovely land, but there are more than 40 characters to encounter and interact with. Each of them has a different personality and lives their own life. Try to build relations with them, befriend them, or find a life-long companion. Super Zoo Story also offers a co-op mode where you can build and develop an animal park with friends. 

If you enjoy the game’s concept, feel free to support its campaign on Kickstarter, which will grant you special rewards. The game is set to be “coming soon” on Steam, so don’t hesitate to add it to your wishlist to be notified when it’s released.
