RT @horrorvisuals: Here is a list of some of my favorite indie horror games and demos from recent memory. Have a seat, this will take a wh….

@horrorvisuals this should be public information instead of having to be dug out, ESPECIALLY after Zoochosis's reception. PLEASE be wary of Hellmart, inform content creators about it & this thread. customers deserve to know whos behind the games they play without these weird obfuscation tactics

@horrorvisuals i will end the thread with a response by Oleg Gaze, confirming his involvement in both studios. considering the use of AI assets and requests by devs to not mention Zoochosis, i find it very shady that this was not explained ANYWHERE until called out.

@horrorvisuals i couldnt find a place to post this anywhere else, so might aswell put it here:. considering the similarities between the cinematic and presentation of both games, i find it hard to believe that ONLY Oleg Gaze is involved. even the UI looks similar and use the same fonts!

@horrorvisuals i talked with @horrorvisuals to confirm this. devs not only claim that AI was used in "only one box" despite MULTIPLE instances of AI assets. but they also ask media outlets to PLEASE not mention Zoochosis, insisting they are a different team despite evidence to the contrary.

it's important to mention that the post i QRTd was from @horrorvisuals . according to these posts, it seems the developers have excused the use of AI as ""placeholders"" despite their use in all of the promotional material. seems like horrorvisuals was manipulated by the devs.

not only that but they've become bolder in their controversial development decisions. despite seemingly deconfirmed rumors of AI use in Zoochosis, Hellmart contains BLATANTLY AI generated assets in their trailers & screenshots. including an AI generated Choo-Choo Charles!

to me, its because the devs desperately want to capture another free viral indie hit. they are attempting the EXACT same marketing strategy that disappointed customers in the past, while escaping responsibility for their previous mistakes. and the worst part is? its WORKING

i also found Oleg Gaze's socials, where he shares Zoochosis and Hellmart posts, but out of privacy concerns i won't share them. so after all this digging i just gotta ask: why create an entirely different studio for a game with such a similar marketing strategy & presentation???.

Zoochosis's Exec Producer is Oleg Gaze, a Bulgarian dude who's been with Clapperheads since its inception. Hellmart's dev is "GAZE IN GAMES" obviously referencing his surname. also Clapperheads's website is gone, leading me to believe they are jumping ship to this new studio.

IGN is ALSO promoting Hellmart, in both their EN and JP channels. but theres ONE detail in the Japan video not present in the english one, a very direct confirmation that the "Zoochosis publisher" is also behind Hellmart. despite that not being talked about anywhere else??

this was SUSPICIOUS as HELL, so i tried looking into any more links between these two devs. in Zoochosis's credits you can find a special thanks section, crediting many Youtubers that helped to promote the game before release. alongside IGN and IGN Japan.

i managed to find their website, a barebones SquareSpace page with Hellmart info, nothing on the devs themselves. no About page, only a Press-Kit & social links, Tiktok button doesnt even work!. i think this was made purely to appear professional on sponsor emails for Youtubers.

The similarities were so striking I took a look at the developer "GAZE IN GAMES". they are seemingly a COMPLETE GHOST developer that sprung up out of nowhere this past month. no games under their belt, next to zero social media presence, no publicly listed employees. then.

Hellmart is doing the exact same tactics as Zoochosis to go viral, despite at a glance being made by different devs?. > mundane job injected with horror mutants.> SEO-optimizing words like "Simulator" used in description.> game title is a mash of two words Zoo+Psychosis/Hell+Mart

for context: when Zoochosis came out many customers felt mislead by its trailers. viral cutscenes that sold people on the game's concept while avoiding to show any actual gameplay. the game sold very well but was heavily criticized for its bugs and questionable game design.

WARNING: this game is a viral indie horror astroturf, its shady as hell and seemingly made by the Zoochosis devs hiding under a different name. > cinematic trailer with no real gameplay.> pushed by the same outlets that promoted Zoochosis.> AI generated textures. a thread🧵

RT @Thafnine: there's a viral 'upcoming' horror game going around twitter that @phisnom and i have reason to believe isn't what it says it….

go play the game now!!! 👇👇👇.
