Build a Safari Park, Clone Animals, Then Watch It All Go Wrong in Captain Contraption’s Safari Park

By

Pill Bug Interactive (Captain Contraption’s Chocolate Factory) has announced Captain Contraption’s Safari Park, a new chaotic roguelite building management sim.

Captain Contraption’s Safari Park is a pixel-art, run-based safari park sim where you clone lions, medieval knights and sentient trucks into a park with no fences, then route your visitors past the chaos. The animals aren’t scripted, so no two runs go the same way. So basically, you’re the worst zoo keeper in the world? Okay, sounds amusing. A demo is set to go live later today, November 5th.

See a trailer for it below:

There are no fences. There are no enclosures. Nothing stays where you put it.

Every creature acts on its own instincts. Herbivores graze and breed while Predators hunt them. Populations rise and fall, and rise again. Put a dragon nest downwind of the field your goats call home and watch what happens. Your job is to stay one step ahead of an ecosystem that doesn’t do what it’s told.

You don’t control the animals. You control the visitors.

You build the paths, your guides follow them, visitors follow the guides. Get the route right and you have paying customers. Get it wrong and you have free food for the new dinosaur exhibit.

Every park ends in ruin. So you can learn and try again.

Sooner or later the food chain inverts, time runs out, or something gets loose in the gift shop. When a park falls that park ends, but the study doesn’t. This is a run based game, meaning you earn currency each run to unlock: new creatures to clone, new attractions to build, and new systems that promise a little more control.

The archive of creatures is extensive… but poorly labelled.

As you get deeper into the game you’ll unlock more of what humanity left behind.

• Lions, tigers and other creatures that behave roughly as you expect.
• Medieval knights and orcs who settle their disagreements in public.
• Sentient push bikes.

Everything runs on a mysterious green goop. Feed the goop into a cloning vat and you get a creature; feed it to a field and you get wheat. When something dies, your Recycler Robot turns it back into goop—unless something else eats it first. Run out of goop, or run out of money to buy goop, and the entire park starves.
