For anyone curious, an NDA means literally nothing if there's illegal stuff going on. If Paul were to sue the zoo or just plainly contact the police and inform them of what's going on any NDA would be thrown in the trash. You can't just make someone sign a piece of paper and then expect it to be legal to kill people or put them in insane risk. Same thing goes for any sort of waivers
Unfortunately, I think it's happened before where NDA's and similar have been waved at someone to get them to keep their mouth shut and it working due to the poor fool not knowing that such documents do not apply when used to protect criminal activity.
If you actually played the game yourself you would know the doc states during multiple endings and a few play threws he has many “friends” around the world and in the government/policeforce. Hence when lily calls the police nothing happens.
I worked at a zoo once, so when Paul gave the block of animal-grade meat to his wife, I thought that was prolly the scariest bit of the game lawl. I watched the zookeepers butcher meat for the predators and sometimes the sources are roadkill, or from stables. Like old racing horses are sometimes used, but the zookeepers didn’t like them as they usually have had a ton of meds and steroids for racing and it’s bad for the zoo animals to eat their meat. Same problem would be for humans. The alternate is specially formulated protein logs some zoos have for specialised predators, which also aren’t suitable for humans.
Same. Although I never worked at a zoo, I was still appaled by how many let's-players chose to steal the meat slab. I mean, come on! *Best* case scenario, you're giving your wife and daughter an equivalent of canned dog food!
@@roland228 I struggle to imagine how desperate one would have to be to willingly ingest (pretty much) poison to satisfy their hunger... Unless Paul's family was already eating out of dumpsters by that point, which likely wasn't the case.
Paul and TerrifyTee: why would a zoo need scientists?? Me: um…. do they not know about zoologists? 😅 that and that monitoring their health with collecting blood samples and feces seem pretty legit to me. Though I do think there were a lot of clear signs that things were off, they may be focusing on the wrong questions here
Everyone's talking about how scary the mutant animals are, but when i played it, there was a brief moment where you'd throw a LIVE WOMAN into a MEAT GRINDER to serve as food for the animals, When Paul calls his boss about this, he has a "Oh no! Anyway" attitude, showing how screwed up his boss might be.
Seriously his boss didn't even try to sell it like she was some god awful person or somethin' to trick Paul. At that point I'd of sabotaged most of the zoo.

fun fact! the poster ad for the zoo says the salary is $100k a year. there are about 52.14 weeks in a year but i'm just going to say 52 for easy maths. 52 x 5(assuming it's a weekday only job) amounts to 260 days. $100k divided by 260 is $384.61~ a night. average night shift is from 11pm to 7am so 8 hours. $384.61 divided by 8 is $48.07, meaning Paul is earning 6x the federal minimum wage in the US,
The part of the hopeful monsters doesn't sit right with me. How does a mutated animal produce offspring, when its general habit is to literally kill the rest of their species?
I like the fact u used an Egyptian photo for talking about the possibility of gods being involved. Anyone who’s read KC (Kane Chronicles) knows gods tend to take hosts. Which could explain things
I'm still wondering why Oliver injected Paul a parasite, even though he's going to use Paul as food for the mother. Even though we know what a mutated human looks like in the game.
Can someone please tell me why this game is getting hated on so much? I’ll admit it’s not the best, but to see it be hated so vehemently by literally everyone is pretty shocking.
I think it's because the trailers and everything made it seem better, but then suddenly everything was rushed and screwed when one of the lead devs and story writers died halfway through the making
Yeah, things from the trailer weren't in the base game that being said, the base game itself, even without the context of the marketing, still isn't good
@@wowiwannadie4646 i think the game was fine on what it provided. you could tell where the ending was coming fast but it was by no means so bad to warrant so many bad reviews. for what the game is, it was really good. I am more surprised it actually had good voice acting.

A penguin that can fly is no longer a penguin. This is very stupid! Animals have evolved to be the most fit for their specific niche. Adding or changing traits will not make them "better" by default.
It's an interesting idea, but the game being so god awful kind of brings it all down in the end. Your character is too dumb to even connect 2 dots most a the time.

Nah fr bro a lot of horror games have those kind of plot holes and it just makes everything look like nobody has common sense
Didn’t sop Disney from trying it.

Exactly, it was such a weird thing to focus on.
Zoologia is just study of animals, usually in their natural habitat. You can't learn much about animals if they are caged.
Especially if the zoo is also part of conservation efforts, why monitoring the health of endangered species they have at the zoo is key.

You can actually stop your wife from calling the police which will save her in the clean run achievement (save all innocent people and animals)
Really? How does that happen i hadn’t seen a single person do that yet in playthroughs

So she wrecked two marriages. Dang. I hope the player got his wife rich first at least since they were struggling.
You can save the wife if you don’t ignore her at the start, and later make sure she dosen't call the police

Ye it is really far fetched however in their defense maybe mutated animals can reproduce with another mutated ones
I think he means they will have babies with other mutanted animals
You can actually save your wife and all the animals.

@@insert6190 I’m willing to bet those parasites came from some god host mating with a demon for whatever reason
Egypt was beautiful.., look at it now
Amazing horror game honesty. Superbly well done in its simple yet effective design and gameplay loop.
The funny thing about this is that the game can literally be updated and worked upon further, but everyone seems happy to just hate on it.
Honestly these Parasitic Creatures are Creepy, Disgusting, and Disturbing as Hell and in my mind the True Happy Ending was Satisfying.
Just saying if something is frozen deep in ice it's there for a reason lmao😂
I'm still wondering why Oliver injected Paul a parasite, even though he's going to use Paul as food for the mother. Even though we know what a mutated human looks like in the game.
Well, the way to kill Mother is with a female parasite. So, maybe, he injected Paul with a male parasite.
He may have wanted a second human experiment. It doesn’t make any sense though. He could have used Sarah or CJ as a Guinea pig instead of killing them
To keep him safe from the infecrion monsters as they wont attack their own
my take is. he used him as food because he "fucked up". if the guy just did his job then he could become the guy you know.

It's not an evolutionary mutation. It's a parasitic one so it's not necessarily gonna make evolutionary sense
