Zoodemonium
Can I play with friends who bought Zoodemonium on another PC store?
Yes. Co-op works across PC stores and is on by default: the host shares a join code, and friends type it in, whichever store they bought the game from. Up to four keepers can play together, and friends can join at any time, even in the middle of a run.
Do I need to be online?
No. The whole campaign, all the way to five stars, plays offline, and Common monsters are always out there. Going online adds the registry's rare monster hunts, the Daily Dispatch, weekend world goals and Zoo Tours.
What does "numbered" mean?
Epics, Legendaries and Enchanteds are capped each season by the Zoodemonium registry. In Season 1 there are 100 numbered captures of each of the six Legendaries. Every rare you catch gets a certificate signed by the registry, and anyone can check it on zoodemonium.com.
When does Season 1 start?
Season 1 of the registry starts on December 1, 2026 at 6:00 PM ET (3:00 PM PT). Seasons last about three months, and each one brings a new set of numbered rares.
Is there public matchmaking or voice chat?
No. You play with friends you invite with a join code. There is no voice or text chat, only four quick-chat calls, so it's easy to play with people you don't share a language with.
Are there microtransactions or loot boxes?
No. There's nothing to buy inside the game, and nothing sold ever changes the odds. Rares can't be traded or sold.
Does it work with a controller?
Yes: keyboard and mouse or a controller, with button prompts for Xbox, PlayStation and Switch controllers, and every control can be remapped.
Which languages are in the game?
English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish (Latin America), Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Japanese and Russian. The translations were drafted with AI help and are being checked by native speakers.
Was AI used to make Zoodemonium?
Yes, as an assistive tool. I'm a disabled veteran, and long hours of typing and sitting at a desk aren't possible for me. AI tools do the keyboard-heavy work so I can still build the game I set out to make. Zoodemonium is my design: I came up with the monsters, the zoo and how it all plays, and I make the final call on everything that goes in. AI turns those designs into code and art, working from my direction, and I review and playtest every change before it ships. The full list is at the end of the About section. - Dale
