Welcome to Wilds by Night Zookeeper
Hello, and welcome.
If you're reading this, you're early. The game we're building, Wilds by Night Zookeeper, isn't out yet. We'll properly announce it this July. But the world it lives in is already growing, and we wanted somewhere to share it before the official reveal.
This is that place.
What is Wilds by Night Zookeeper?
The short version: it's a creature-collector and party-game mash-up where every creature in the game world started life as a drawing. Players make their Wilds. The game brings them to life in 3D, with abilities, in a world full of other players' Wilds doing their own strange things. We'll have much more to show you in July.
The longer version is fifteen years in the making. Wilds by Night Zookeeper comes from the team behind Night Zookeeper, the BAFTA-nominated creativity platform that's helped millions of children write stories, draw characters, and invent worlds. Wilds is what happens when those characters stop living on the page and start running around in a real game.
What's here now
This site is the community hub for the road to launch. A few things you can do today:
- Browse The Zook, our growing encyclopaedia of creatures, items, locations, and game modes
- Explore Creations, Wilds already drawn by early players, with more added all the time
- Read Highlights for work-in-progress glimpses, art reveals, and dispatches from the team
- Check the News feed for everything official
What's coming
July: the proper game announcement, the first trailer, and a lot more detail than we're sharing here.
Until then, two ways to stick around:
- Wishlist on Steam — the single most useful thing you can do for a small studio. It tells us you're out there and helps us when we launch.
- If you want to start creating Wilds today, you can. Wilds creation lives inside nightzookeeper.com, free to try for seven days, with access to the Wilds special project for anyone who joins.
That's it for now. We're glad you found us early.
