I stress-bought Planet Zoo the other day and installed it forever (10 gb is a bit on my puny connection) and played it for, Steam says, 64 minutes.
It’s full of stuff! I don’t get half of it and forgot almost all of the help I read within seconds of reading it! But it’s really easy to find when you forget and want to look again.
A big issue I had was finding out how I was supposed to get animals. At all. Eventually I figured out where to go and got myself a pair of aardvarks who eventually gave me a lil’ aardvark named Musa. My zoo has exactly one exhibit and it is aardvarks. 64 minutes and that was my achievement. It got me a steam card! A cheetah!
Anyway, then I played Grim Tales (Grim Tales: The Bride session 1) until a migraine forced me to go shiver in bed (not Grim Tales’ fault in any way, I had one when I started) and my brain was apparently not done with Planet Zoo because it decided to give me a nightmare about it.
Nightmare: I adopted a mountain lion to put in an exhibit but it was too young to put in there on her own and I couldn’t put her with others so I had to wait until she was ready and then I had to go on a journey and during that journey she turned into a small turtle (but I thought she had always been a turtle at that point) who kept trying to escape and was so small I had trouble keeping her with me even with my whole hand closed and she kept falling out and it got worse every time and eventually she snapped in half and it was like the whole body was made of chalk.
I have decided that for tonight’s Planet Zoo session, I’m probably gonna do something… other than mountain lions. I don’t even know if you can adopt them too young to place. Apparently there’s also some sort of player marketplace? I’m going to learn how to do more than one exhibit before I try that out.
