The more you play, the more cameras you unlock and the more you have to switch between each. There’s much more to it than that, though: Do Not Feed The Monkeys is a surprisingly deep, twisty game with lots of things to juggle.
With your subjects referred to as “monkeys”, your job is to unlock more “cages” (cameras), and then work your way up the ladder in The Primate Observation Club. You play as someone on their first day on the job inside a shady society that watches other people through surveillance cameras. It’s wonderful fun, despite the very true message on the dangers of mass surveillance. Everything is slightly off-kilter, whether that’s the cultists who come to your door and ask you to look after their flowers, or the daily newspaper that seems to revel in the muck of modern life. Often irreverent, Do Not Feed The Monkeys is one of the most darkly hilarious games I’ve played in quite some time. Whether it’s a stand-in for Hitler or a plant that barfs out clones, the barmy characters of Do Not Feed The Monkeys are its most captivating attraction.
Taking inspiration from the likes of The Lives of Others and Papers, Please (two fantastic things to be inspired by), Do Not Feed The Monkeys is an innovative surveillance simulator in which you peep into the daily lives of people.
