The Primate Observation Club is still active and stronger than ever in the year 2099. The world has become a hilariously absurd, retro-futuristic dystopia where spying is even more amusing! Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 is a digital voyeur simulator that combines narrative, investigation, surveillance, and resource management.

Life is about to get a little meta…

Do you like power? How about controlling the lives of others?
Do you like breaking rules? Does it excite you? Maybe “Rebel” is your middle name?
Do you want to be part of an exclusive group? Be someone important?
Do you want to make some money and become rich?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you’re in luck! You've been invited to join The Primate Observation Club. Live out all your heart’s desires as the newest member and if you are already in the Club, it’s time to move up the ladder.

Observe the monkeys behind cages from the comfort of your home, stash some cash with your side hustle jobs, and maybe even play the role of a divine being by manipulating the lives of your subjects. Don’t hesitate, it’s time to make 2099 your year!

A Dystopian Dreamland
It’s 2099 and alien knowledge has caused rapid advancements in technology to the point that big corporations now sponsor planets. Stripped of resources, Earth is now a wasteland and humanity has spread across the galaxy. Humans, robots, and aliens now live side by side.

Spying Is Encouraged
The MonkeyVision app helps you manage hidden cameras and monitor cages. Make observations and search the internet to learn more about each subject. Need more cameras? Pick up side jobs for money, all the while avoiding that wacky conspiracy theorist next door.

Definitely Not Feeding the Monkeys
Get to know the subjects and you might get the chance to interact with them. Hack security systems, make threatening phone calls or even put your own flavor on an unusual beverage. But then forget all those things, because that's against Club rules!

New Game, New Technology
For previous Club member alumni, you'll notice we've also added some community-requested features beyond the new game experience.

An OmniPal: Gone are the days of surveillance solitude. OmniPals are artificial intelligence represented by holograms that act as promoters of companies. OmniPals are another window into the outside world and may offer some other mysterious functions.
End Game Content: Once you've finished the game, new and exciting features such as a Fast Forwarding ability will be available. Who knows what other rewards await you!
A Peephole: Peepholes aren't standard equipment, but eventually you’ll be able to get one. Get a sneak peek at who's knocking on your door before deciding to open it.

About Punch Club

Your father was brutally murdered before your eyes. Now you must train hard, eat chicken and punch dudes in the face to earn your place in the Punch Club ranks, and discover who ended your father's life.

Punch Club is a boxing tycoon management game with multiple branching story lines. Your goal is clear, but how you get there depends on whether you want to legitimately climb the rankings, or take the more ridiculous, shady route.

Along the way you'll want to focus your talents. Will you take the Way of the Tiger, the Way of the Turtle, or the Way of the Bear? Your strength, accuracy and agility all depends on whichever Way enlightens your path. Do you have stripes, or flippers?

And every decision will matter, especially in your social life. You'll be juggling friendships, love life, work, recreational time, relationships, and possible stardom, all alongside your gym time and fighting aligators. It's not all just pumping iron, you know.

Fighter management sim with RPG and tycoon elements
Find out who killed your father, and maybe learn something about yourself along the way
Heavily story-driven, with multiple different narrative branches and game endings to discover
Get as deep with stats as you like, and find your own way through extensive skill trees
Gorgeous pixel visuals with 80-90s references and nostalgia all over the place

Breathe in.

High in the mountains, an endless train thunders through a decaying station. This is the Border Post. Your job is simple: blow a whistle to keep the train on schedule. But the air is thin up here.

Don’t speak. Don’t run. Don’t look in the train. Just do your job. It’ll all be over soon.

FIGHT FOR EVERY BREATH

It isn’t impossible to breathe in the Border Post. Just impossible to catch your breath. Every exertion is another foot in the grave. Each blow of your whistle is a death sentence. Your only reprieve are air canisters rationed out for your good work. So you better be a good worker.

MAINTAIN

There’s no shortage of tasks to keep you busy during your shift. Deliver reports. Clean the water filter. Collect discarded wood. And don’t worry about that smell.

MEET MO

Mo is your friend and fellow Border Post worker. His shift is over, but he’ll happily come running if you call. He’ll answer any questions you might have. Well, except for that question. He wouldn’t lie to you. Don’t make him.

YOUR CHOICES, YOUR STORY

Your choices matter. Which choices? What country are you from? How could it matter? Experience a semi-linear narrative where every moment could be a new branching path. Or not. Such is life.

Breathe out.
