The cheery park-building and management of 90s sims like Theme Park combines with the genetic horrors of Doctor Moreau inLet’s Build A Zoo, a manage ‘em up coming this summer. Yeah, you build and decorate a zoo, keep guests happy, try to turn a profit, and all that. You can also splice the animals into hundreds of thousands of monstrous combinations. Peek the trailer below.

The game’s blurb says it has over 500 animals, which can be spliced into over 300,000 creatures. I think that just means putting one animal’s head of another animal’s body, but frankly any animal looks hilarious with a duck head. Even if it’s a duck head atop a duck body, the bread-guzzling fool.

But which combination of animals would be most delicious? As a vegetarian, I couldn’t really say. But I hope it’s a combination of proper smug animals, something which deserves it, you know? Cross-breed between sheep and a dog, maybe (a shog?). Or clownfish and parrot (a carrot?).

I dread to see what might happen when our Nate, creator ofBin World and The Leopard Cloud in Planet Zoo, gets ahold of this.
