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.

Critic reviews
- 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.
- 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.
- 6.0Do 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.
- 7.0Do 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.
- 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.
