You go to your new job at the zoo and you start right away. Your wife is waiting outside and you assume she’ll figure it out and go home on her own. There are endings where she calls the cops on you going missing. There are also endings where you die without talking to her.

At the beginning, an off-hands comment made by a character implies they've been monitoring the MC or at least know something about a past job the MC wasn't aware of that they knew.

Not in normal playthoughs. There is a possiblity of lethally injecting all animals, or having them die, even if they aren’t infected. Speed runners have started abusing this strategy as there is no in game consequences to wrongfully killing an animal

You find out the meat is made of people, fox forces you to grind up a live woman to make more meat but you can refuse and get a different ending. You and your sidekick can also die depending on ending, in a different ending your wife is killed.
At the end of the game there is also an obituary for the lead game dev who unfortunately passed during production.

The title itself is a play on the real conditions psychosis and zoochosis, the latter being when animals become mentally ill due to a lack of enrichment in a captive environment. This falls under the a trope and stereotype of relating psychosis to horror that often further stigmatises people with psychotic spectrum disorders.
ETA: I’ve recently been informed “zoochosis” is not even a real thing acknowledged by zookeepers, it was made up by anti-zoo organisations. It is actually called stereotypic behaviours and are similar in humans to stimming, pacing, etc. Stereotypic behaviours only become an issue when the animal starts to hurt themselves or others or shows clear signs of mental distress and understimulation.
