Mother Games drops first trailer for surrealist RPG Le Zoo

Mother Games this week dropped the teaser trailer for its upcoming title, Le Zoo. According to the studio, Le Zoo is an “emergent RPG” with surrealist animation, as shown in the trailer. The game is apparently a blend of online gameplay and live-action story, currently in private alpha with testers, and Mother Games plans to launch it to the public later this year.

Le Zoo is built using a proprietary dataset that includes ancient literature such as Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, with an in-house AI layer called Womb, which will also debut in 2025. In addition to surrealist design, Mother says the game also features introspection and humor, with the experience tailored to the player and encouraging them to explore their inner selves through the medium of gameplay and cooperative experiences.
