Critic Reviews
- The refreshing disconnect from reality is enhanced by the unclear date of the game. The 8-bit art style and the landlady visiting in person for cash rent payments evoke a sense of classic dystopias from decades ago, while computer addiction and reach of digital surveillance feel almost futuristic. Stories in the newspaper of corruption in politics, meanwhile, feel very contemporary.
Kirstie Summers · Jun 27, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - We feel that there is no middle ground to Do Not Feed The Monkeys. It is a niche title that people will either love or hate. If the concept intrigues you, you’ll probably get a lot of enjoyment out of it. You can always download the free demo from the eshop to give the game a shot if you’re unwilling to commit your cash, although we do feel that it’s very reasonably priced. Now if you’ll excuse us, we have to go watch what’s happening in cage 11.
SebastiaanRaats · Jun 24, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Some games are revolutionary, some are evolutionary, and some are just good at doing their own thing. Do Not Feed the Monkeys falls into the latter category and manages to take ‘unique’ in a positive direction by melding a puzzle game with resource management within a fascinating premise.
James Evans · Jun 19, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - 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.
Kim Snaith · Jun 12, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Do Not Feed The Monkeys isn't a perfect game by any means, and its minor interface and design hiccups are unfortunate. Thankfully, these small irritations do not serve to massively undermine what Fictiorama Studios has achieved here; the capacity for indie developers to come up with novel ideas never ceases to impress, and this is a doozy of a concept.
Stuart Gipp · Jun 10, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Do Not Feed The Monkeys surprised me. Whether it’s down to the unexpected depth, variety, or killer tone, I found myself engrossed through my descent into its dingy underworld. If you want a razor-sharp simulation that poses plenty of questions on morality, Do Not Feed The Monkeys will not monkey around with your time.
Jimmy Donnellan · Jun 08, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Do Not Feed the Monkeys is better played on other systems rather than on Xbox. Without a mouse or touchscreen to move through screens, you’ll find yourselves fumbling through the screens like your dad with a remote, when you want to feel like Tom Cruise in Minority Report.
Dave Ozzy · Dec 26, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - 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.
Athanasios · Nov 18, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Fans of people-watching and time-management will obsess over sleuthing out Do Not Feed The Monkeys’ many endings by spying, manipulating, and barely sleeping. Although playing on the Joy-Con feels sluggish, the touchscreen works well – except during an occasional game-breaking bug.
Anna Karasik · Aug 25, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Do not feed the monkeys is a colourful voyeuristic journey into shady organisations and oddball characters. Some of its systems aren't particularly well explained, but discovering a new nugget of information about a weird old man makes it all worthwhile.
