Do Not Feed the Monkeys is a digital voyeur simulator: a narrative-driven game
where you invade the privacy of dozens of strangers and witness their most intimate
moments, while you struggle to keep up to date with paying the rent and putting some
food on the table. You are the newest member of the “The Primate Observation Club” -and
of course it is not the wildlife conservation society the name would suggest. It is a
front for a shadowy group that watches others through surveillance cameras and
compromised webcams. Tired of your ramshackle apartment, dull existence and boring jobs,
you’re accepted into the exclusive organization, so you can pry into the privacy of the
“caged monkeys” as they go about their lives. The game lets you to Browse social
networks, wikis, websites, newspapers, online stores and chat lounges to gather
information about the “monkeys” you are charged to spy. The club urges you to not
interfere with those observed (to not “feed the monkeys”). But then, what will you do?
Will you intercede in the name of justice? Sabotage their dreams? Or will you just sit
idly by while the world burns? Whatever you do (or don’t do) will have
consequences!
