MyVoiceZoo FAQ MyVoiceZoo Game Walkthrough Wiki

1 What is it

An idle zoo builder with one distinctive idea: you record sounds through a microphone and those recordings become the animal calls. The developer describes the result as a zoo found nowhere else, because nobody else has your voice.

The examples given are direct: roar like a lion, quack like a duck, baa like a sheep, or squawk like a penguin. Every animal cry can be made with your own voice.

2 You need a microphone

We are reporting that as it stands rather than assuming either way. The description makes the requirement unambiguous even though the feature list does not carry it, so treat a working microphone as mandatory.

A laptop built in microphone or any headset will do. This is not a game that needs recording quality, it needs a way to make noise into the computer.

3 How the idle loop works

The economy is described in one sentence: whenever the animals cry, your voice echoes and income builds up, and that income adopts new animals.

That is a classic idle structure with an unusual input. The interesting consequence is that your zoo gets louder in your own voice as it grows.

4 What you actually do

Beyond recording and waiting, the listed activities are adopting animals, giving them names, and expanding the collection into a larger and livelier zoo.

The developer is clear about the intended feeling: no complicated controls, no competition, no pressure to optimise, and what they describe as cozy and gentle healing. If you want an optimisation puzzle, this is deliberately not one.

5 There is one achievement

The achievement count is one. Steam Achievements are supported as a feature, and the list contains a single entry.

For a cozy idle game with no competitive element this is consistent rather than surprising, but it is worth knowing if achievements are part of how you choose games. There is no completion checklist here.

6 Where do the recordings live

This is a fair question for any game that records your voice, and the honest answer is that the store page does not say.

What the store does confirm is that Steam Cloud is supported and that you can save at any time. Whether the audio itself is part of a cloud synchronised save, or stays only on your machine, is not stated either way.

7 Price, languages and features

Fifteen languages on a three dollar indie game is unusually generous, and it suggests the developer expected an international audience for something that needs very little text to enjoy.

8 Requirements, and who it suits

The minimum specification is modest and internally consistent, which after several store pages full of contradictions is worth noting positively.
