The Bluff City Zoo was a world-class institution, visited by locals and travelers alike. In the late 20th Century it was an iconic zoo, admired and beloved, it’s animals were content, it’s visitors happy, it’s staff respected. Chairman of the Zoo Board, D.E. Hitchcock the Fourth, welcomed people to the grounds with beaming pride as his father had for a generation before.

Now, D.E. Hitchcock is dead, the community takes the zoo for granted, attendance is down, the Zoo withers. The zookeepers grow desperate. Money is tight. Other, more successful zoos, in other cities (fuck Trenton) sniff around the place, looking to take away animals and staff.

The Bluff City Zoo is located in the north of Bluff City, past the casinos, towards the mainland and into a marshland area. Part of the march was drained and reinforced with concrete for the Zoo to be built on.

The staff uniform is a half-sized apron with deep pockets and an embroidered vest with your name and what area you work in. Staff must also wear a nice shirt (that they are responsible for purchasing).
