Do Not Feed the Monkeys allows the user to move to the place of a member of a secret organization. The group is engaged in surveillance of “monkeys” – this is how civilians who are unaware of it are called. The protagonist is new to this field. However, it already has sufficient capabilities to influence people's lives. There are quite a large number of all kinds of mechanics in the game, so you can figure them all out only as you dive into the passage.

Initially, the player in Do Not Feed the Monkeys is presented with his workplace – a home personal computer. In addition, the primary rule is immediately discussed – “do not feed the monkeys” (refrain from interacting with those being observed). But only the user has the choice of tactics. You can properly perform your assigned role, or you can take advantage of the position for personal gain.

However, many factors may influence the decision to continue serving. The main character is the same person, so he will need to eat daily. You can order healthy and low-calorie food, or go beyond that and purchase pizza, Asian dishes, and so on. In addition, every three game days you will need to pay for the rent of the premises in which the protagonist lives. Other unforeseen circumstances may also arise, for the solution of which it will be possible to use the accumulated money.

As you can understand, honest work will only make ends meet. Therefore, there is the possibility of illegal earnings. By watching people, you can find out secret information, for example, passwords, personal data. It will be possible to find out about a planned crime and prevent it, or help the criminals and get a share. Organization managers can also monitor the player, and if they are not careful, they can punish the user for his actions.
