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.
This is an incredibly original point-and-click based adventure, where we have to become some sort of detective and manage our time and money and the same time. It’s one of the most unique games we’ve played in a while, so make sure you give it a try if you’re looking for something different.
Do Not Feed the Monkeys may seem like a strange title but it pretty much
describes what this games is about. This point and click adventure with
a management component has a very unexpected plot that's not short of
hilarious moments. Thanks to an intuitive gameplay (as well as to the
use of the Nintendo Switch screen) and to a good variety of choices and
endings, Do Not Feed the Monkeys is a good way to spend some short
gaming sessions.
Do Not Feed The Monkeys is an offbeat slice of dystopia that feels right at home on the Switch.
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.
While I think it relies on dumping too much resource management on the player and it's definitely a game meant to be played on PC, Do Not Feed The Monkeys is such a weird and original game that I can't help but enjoy it on some level. If you can only get it on the Switch, it'll be a fine addition to your collection of portable indie game oddities.
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.
