Press release:
The Sherman Oaks-based (CA, the US) indie games publisher Joystick Ventures and Madrid-based (Spain) indie games developer Fictiorama Studios, today announced with great thrill and joy that their digital voyeur simulator “Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099”, is coming to PC (via Steam) and the Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo Eshop) on May 25th, 2023.

It’s 2099, and The Primate Observation Club is stronger than ever. The world has morphed into a retro-futuristic dystopia where spying is not just prevalent but, most importantly, even more entertaining. Welcome to Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099: a digital voyeur simulator that combines narrative, investigation, surveillance, and resource management.

The new launch date is a result of the ambitions to bring Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 to as wide an audience as possible, with the game offering a similar vibe to its celebrated predecessor; charging players with becoming master voyeurs as they spy on strangers through security cameras, observing and analysing every aspect of their (frankly bizarre) day-to-day lives.

For newcomers, Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 serves as a satirical preview of a potential future heading our way, where our most intimate secrets might be exposed.

“It’s so exciting to be working on a Nintendo Switch version of Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099,” offers Luis Oliván, co-founder of Fictiorama Studios.

“It’s the perfect audience for our especially quirky digital voyeur simulator and we think, combined with our Steam release, players new and old will love what we’ve got to offer come May 25th.”

Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 will feature:

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 Tools: 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 whilst avoiding that wacky conspiracy theorist next door.
Fresh Technology: Gone are the days of surveillance solitude. OmniPals are artificial intelligence represented by holograms that act as company promoters. They act as another window into the outside world and may offer some other handy functions.
Absolutely No Monkey Feeding: Become familiar with the subjects and you might get the chance to interact with them. Hack security systems, make threatening phone calls, or even put your own flavour in an unusual beverage. But then forget all those things, because that’s against Club rules!
End-Game Content: Once you’ve finished the game, new and exciting features, such as a Fast Forwarding ability or a Free Mode that will allow to keep playing with no specific goals or deadlines, will be available. Who knows what other rewards await you!

Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 is a sequel to the award-winning game Do Not Feed the Monkeys, and will launch on Steam and Nintendo Switch on Thursday May 25th, 2023.
