Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 is a science-fiction surveillance simulator developed by Fictiorama Studios and published by Joystick Ventures. Expanding upon the foundation established by its predecessor, the game places players inside a futuristic society shaped by advanced technology, corporate influence, and a culture where information holds tremendous power. Rather than focusing on combat, exploration, or traditional strategy mechanics, the experience builds itself around observation, investigation, and moral choice, creating a distinctive gameplay loop where curiosity becomes both the greatest tool and the greatest danger. Players step into the role of a member of the Primate Observation Club, an organization dedicated to secretly monitoring the lives of strangers through hidden surveillance systems. Every monitored target exists within isolated scenarios that slowly reveal personal stories, unusual situations, and hidden truths waiting to be uncovered. The organization promotes a strict rule against interfering with subjects being observed, but the game constantly challenges players to decide whether remaining silent is truly the right decision. Information becomes a form of influence, and every discovery creates new ethical questions. The gameplay revolves heavily around collecting details and connecting information. Small observations gradually develop into larger discoveries as players watch surveillance footage, take notes, search digital databases, and uncover hidden patterns. Individual conversations, routines, and behaviors slowly expose secrets that transform seemingly ordinary situations into something much more complicated. Progress depends on patience and attention to detail rather than reflexes or action-heavy mechanics. The satisfaction comes from slowly understanding mysteries piece by piece. The futuristic setting allows the game to introduce more imaginative scenarios than its predecessor while preserving the same underlying themes surrounding privacy, control, and personal responsibility. Society in 2099 feels technologically advanced but morally uncertain. Corporations hold enormous influence, alien life exists alongside humanity, and technological innovation has transformed everyday existence. This setting provides fertile ground for unusual situations that range from humorous and absurd to unsettling and emotionally impactful. One of the strongest aspects of the experience is its writing. Each surveillance target introduces unique personalities and storylines that rarely feel repetitive. Some situations lean toward satire, others explore darker themes, and many contain unexpected twists that reward careful observation. The game consistently creates a sense of unpredictability because players never fully know what lies behind the next surveillance feed. Small details that initially appear meaningless often become central pieces of larger narratives later. The balance between observation gameplay and personal survival mechanics adds another layer of complexity. Monitoring strangers is only part of daily life. Players must also manage finances, maintain personal stability, and survive within the same demanding society they spend their time observing. Time becomes a valuable resource, forcing difficult decisions about priorities. Chasing one mystery too aggressively can leave other responsibilities neglected, creating meaningful tension throughout the experience. Visually, the game continues embracing stylized pixel art that complements its retro-futuristic atmosphere exceptionally well. Rather than chasing visual realism, the presentation focuses on personality and atmosphere. Futuristic environments, surveillance interfaces, and distinctive character designs help establish a world that feels strange but believable within its own rules. The visual style also reinforces the feeling of operating from behind screens and hidden observation systems, strengthening immersion throughout the experience. Player choice remains central to the design philosophy. While passive observation represents the intended role, temptation constantly pushes players toward intervention. Choosing to interfere with monitored lives can dramatically alter outcomes, creating branching consequences that encourage experimentation and replayability. Few games make information itself feel so powerful. Knowledge becomes currency, responsibility becomes a burden, and every choice carries uncertainty. Beyond entertainment, Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 quietly explores larger ideas surrounding surveillance culture, privacy erosion, technological dependence, and human behavior under observation. These themes never overwhelm the gameplay, but they remain present throughout the experience, giving greater meaning to seemingly simple actions. The game encourages players to think carefully about how information changes relationships between people and institutions. Fictiorama Studios succeeds because it understands that compelling stories do not always require grand adventures or large-scale action. By focusing on observation, moral tension, and carefully constructed mysteries, Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 creates something unusual within modern simulation games. It is intelligent, darkly humorous, unsettling, and consistently engaging. Players who enjoy narrative-focused experiences, investigative gameplay, branching stories, and slower-paced strategy elements will likely find plenty to appreciate here. The futuristic setting enhances an already strong formula while deeper systems and expanded storytelling make the sequel feel like a meaningful evolution rather than a simple continuation. Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 transforms surveillance into something fascinating, creating an experience that lingers long after its final mystery has been uncovered. Rating: 7/10
DNFTM 2099 is a time management game where you have to find time to work for money, dissect what's going on in all of your cages, and still keep your needs met and the club happy, with a bit of dark humor on the side. The concept of this game is exactly the same as the first, so if you enjoyed the original this one is more of the same and you'll prolly get a good amount of fun out of it. If you didn't like the first game, you definitely won't like this one. I agree with a lot of others that this is a weaker entry than the first, but I still enjoyed my time with it so I'll go ahead and recommend it. I think 2099 suffers from having the cage "puzzles" feel a bit more contrived, since I couldn't really piece them together in the same way that I felt I could in the first game, and it seemed like the cages demanded much more of your attention this time around just to even begin trying to solve them which made the gameplay feel more frantic and stressful. However, I still really enjoyed the humor in it and the futuristic setting, which I know was a dealbreaker for some people. The cages are less...crass on the whole than the first game, so if you enjoyed that somewhat gross/grungy feeling of seeing things you felt you REALLY weren't meant to, I do agree this game lacks some of that vibe. While nothing majorly new is added, I still really enjoy the core gameplay loop so this almost felt like more of a "cyberpunk DLC" to me and I was fine with that, especially after picking the game up on sale. Overall, I think the mixed review rating is fair. 2099 doesn't add anything all that new except for the setting change, and I do feel it packs less punch in its stories. However, I still enjoy the DNFTM formula and feel I got my money's worth, especially after 100%ing the game. My recommendation is to pick it up on sale if you're craving more DNFTM and want some new stories to pick at.
It's just the first game, but with a futeristic aesthetic. If you like the first game you'll like this. If you don't, you won't. If you haven't played the first game, you might like this. The gameplay loop is watching security cameras and finding information. You can use that information to affect what happens to the people on the camera, for example you can help a lost family get to their destination or you can make them die by flying into a dangerous area.
