Feeding the monkeys is strictly prohibited.SHIT HITTING THE FAN: What may (or may not) happen if you feed the monkeys.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? 7aa9394dea Title: Do Not Feed the MonkeysGenre: Indie, Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:Fictiorama Studios, BadLand Games Publishing S.L.Publisher:Alawar PremiumRelease Date: 23 Oct, 2018 Do Not Feed The Monkeys Download Direct Link Do -not- buy this game.It's just nazi and rightwing nutjob propaganda rolled into a pixelated package. They really gonna incentivize being nice to literal hitler and also roll across a story made up of pure fantasy where Donald Dump is doing a good job?You got my 7$, but maybe I can help keep other sane people from buying this propaganda garbage.. Do not forget to eat, sleep and work while you're observing the monkeys! I died of hunger in the 2nd day and that was unfortunate.. Riffing off of the deliberately clunky UI of Papers, Please and the gig-economy survival-game mechanics of Cart Life, Do Not Feed the Monkeys adapts some of the best ideas from its strong forebears. The animation and character art is fantastic, and the soundtrack is phenomenal. But it's a game that relies too much on its "gotcha" reveals, which sometimes play into dated and ugly stereotypes. Or just as bad, some very obvious bits of misdirection lead you to believe a stereotype is true, but then (*gasp*) you discover that your assumptions were wrong. But this approach doesn\u2019t \u201csubvert\u201d stereotypes. It ultimately only reaffirms them. And in at least one case, the misdirected stereotype was so mean-spirited that I nearly had to shut the game off then and there. Needless to say, it left a bad taste in my mouth.It\u2019s a game that also relies too much on its central gameplay mechanic in which you must click on small, finicky bits of yellow-colored text in characters' dialogue. It just doesn't seem to fit with what the game is ostensibly about (commercialization of personal data, spread of the gig economy, precarious economic life, etc). It just feels like an arbitrary, unnecessary, and clumsy obstacle put there to make this into a \u201cgame\u201d rather than a collection of interactive character vignettes.Nevertheless, I look forward to how others might also continue to adapt the design concepts of Papers, Please and Cart Life in the future.. Super cool game, I personally hope they add more stories. More of a time management game than anything else, but great.. Truly amazing game, my only wish is that it went longer, and more scenarios overall for replayability, really needs some nice DLC's. Well worth the price.. It's funny,but 16 days too short.
