    GLOSSARY OF TERMS:

    THE PRIMATE OBSERVATION CLUB: a shadowy group that observes other people through surveillance cameras and compromised webcams.
    YOU: the newest member of the CLUB, tired of your run-down apartment, dull existence, and boring job.
    MONKEYS: dozens of strangers who have fallen prey to your surveillance.
    PRIVACY: Something that the monkeys think they have.
    PC (PERSONAL COMPUTER): Yep, we put a PC in your game that’s on your Nintendo Switch™ so that you can work on a PC while you’re playing the game that’s on your Nintendo Switch™ console!

    Oddly enough, club members keep feeding the monkeys as though they just can’t abide by this very simple rule! How about you? Will you help those you’re spying on, extort them, expose them and sabotage their dreams, or will you follow your instructions and sit twiddling your thumbs while the world burns?    … Expand

    The Primate Observation Club has you watching monkeys as you struggle to pay for more cages while taking care of yourself. The balance between time and money is consistently engaging. The subject’s lives are yours to watch. There is just one key rule: Do not feed the monkeys.

    Do Not Feed the Monkeys is an unexpected game, first and above all, that manages to shine in a media full of over-saturated genres. It’s a genre all on its own and it deserves to be experimented.

    Do Not Feed The Monkeys is an offbeat slice of dystopia that feels right at home on the Switch.

    I certainly felt that once I got my head fully and completely bamboozled by the intricacies of Do Not Feed The Monkeys, it was over. Fortunately the game is replayable to the nth degree due to its central mechanic of playing the game particularly how you want to, no matter how stressful each playthrough was always going to be.

    Do Not Feed the Monkeys is a unique point and click adventure with various ways to deal with how the player deal with the game and based on that can reach different outcomes. Do Not Feed the Monkeys is not a brilliant game as we hoped, but we appreciate bringing something new and exciting to the table.

    Do Not Feed the Monkeys is a testament to the capacity of independent developers to create something unique that makes major league, triple-A products feel trite by comparison. However, while being a paid voyeur turns out to be quite entertaining, this title is not without its flaws, with the most serious one being that, although something that was supposed to have a high replay value, it actually becomes increasingly less enjoyable the more you play. Nevertheless, do get it if intrigued by its original concept. The fun will last for two-to-three play-throughs, but it's definitely worth it.

    Do Not Feed the Monkeys isn’t a bad game by any means. It’s a wholly interesting concept; sneaking a peek into people’s secret lives is darkly exciting, and picking out key pieces of information to pull together a narrative makes you feel like a true vigilante detective. But it’s short-lived, and the unnecessary focus on survival elements takes the fun out of it. A sizeable assortment of camera locations means a second playthrough might show you something new – but it’s debatable whether you’ll be bothered to go through it again.
