What is Cryptozoo About?
Baku, a legendary brain-eating cryptid, helps Lauren, a military brat, deal with prolonged spells of a nightmarish state that have been haunting her since her formative years. However, once she is healed from years of nocturnal torment, Lauren decides to use the opportunity to protect the cryptids and rescue them from getting exploited by those with devious intentions. In order to fulfill her self-imposed obligation, Lauren becomes a Cryptozookeeper which forces her to reconsider her past beliefs.
Although the fantastical, mythical creatures confined in the zoo offer people a glimpse of their mysterious world, Lauren begins to wonder if they are better off hidden from unfamiliar eyes staring at them for long periods of time.
