Evaluation
Zoonomaly is a solo-developed puzzle horror game that launched on March 6, 2024. The developer posted a launch announcement expressing pride in the finished product, describing it as a complete creative endeavor built entirely on their own. Shortly after launch, on March 18, 2024, a single patch (Update 1.1) was released, adding a quality-of-life teleportation mechanic and fixing several bugs based on player feedback. No DLC has been announced or listed, no roadmap or future content plans have been communicated, and no further developer posts have appeared since March 18, 2024. The store description presents the game as a self-contained experience with a clear objective and ending. This game appears to have launched as a finished product, with the post-launch patch representing polish rather than ongoing content development.

About this game
Zoonomaly is a puzzle based horror game set in an open world zoo. This is a nonlinear game, so you may take any path to achieve completion.
A zoo has been taken over by monsters and you have been tasked with entering this zoo, finding the cause of the monster infestation, and putting a stop to it. To accomplish this task, you must collect key shards that have been scattered throughout the zoo. To find the key shards, you must solve puzzles within the animal enclosures. Once all the shards are collected, you can assemble the master key to unlock the source of the monster anomalies.
EXPLORE THE ZOO:
You are free to explore the zoo grounds. Find puzzles and mazes, rogue monsters, and immerse yourself in this delightfully disturbing zoo.
STAY ALIVE:
You must attempt to stay alive while inside the zoo. Monster anomalies of all different shapes and sizes wander the grounds and they CAN NOT be killed. Avoid contact at all costs. When in doubt, RUN!
DEFEND YOURSELF:
You have been equipped with a Bloom O'Bang. This deterrent has the ability to stop any monster in pursuit. It also allows you to see the invisible monster aura spectrum around you. Use it wisely.
COLLECT TO WIN:
Only by collecting key shards scattered across the zoo will you be able to unlock the source of the monster anomalies. Key shards can be found inside the enclosures.
SOLVE PUZZLES:
In order to collect a key shard, you’ll need to solve a puzzle inside each enclosure. These puzzles are spread throughout the zoo and must be solved to obtain each key shard.
