Hello! Played this game and gotta say the storyline is... wow, it's something alright. I can say without a doubt that "disturbing" would be the perfect word to describe it, so I think if it was your aim then you nailed it. I think it's a bit of a shame that there's 0 player interaction, even though I don't think the game would have benefitted in having choices that lead to multiple endings, given the player isn't even a character in this game. Otherwise yeah, definitely great work, very good writing, and I like how the game ends with events that occured prior to the main one, that was a unique way of telling your story. Thank you for making it!
What an amazing game. Created an account just to talk about it because it's so good.
SPOILERS BELOW!!! ***********************
Man, poor monkeys. Felt for everyone besides THE GRUNGE.
Stevie was so pure and sweet, she genuinely wanted the best for everyone, even her ex-boyfriend who she had to break up with on non-friendly terms. Her death hurt because she was just so normal and real. I mean, she was just a kind woman who was excited to start a family and interested in a monkey documentary. The fact that her baby died too is so sad :(
Yoergen (in my opinion) was not as much of an a*hole as the rest of the characters made him out to be in my opinion. To be fair, we don't know exactly how rough the breakup with Stevie was, but he seemed to have valid feelings and drawbacks over his ex immediately getting with his best friend. That joke that Grunge made absolutely crossed the line and he was in the right to storm out of the cafe when no one stood up for him. It must've been really scary when JB did what he did because (in truth) Yoergen did nothing to hurt or provoke JB at all.
I had a love-hate relationship with THE GRUNGE. This is going to sound horrible... but he was quite silly, especially during the dialogue when he killed Stevie (ITS HORRIBLE I KNOW) That aside, on my second playthrough, I saw all the moments where he was formulating his plan (When he learnt that monkeys had no motives and "couldn’t be held accountable" from Stevie, along with all those scenes where he brought Yoergen up to JB.)
JB arguably had it the worst, considering he's still alive, is still being manipulated by THE GRUNGE, and literally lost the love of his life and his (ex) best friend within 2 days. It hurt because he really did trust THE GRUNGE. (Question: What did he do to Yoergen? It's kind of unclear... I think that he knocked him out and then buried him alive?)
Anyways great game! Not much about this game on the web so I decided I'd talk about the characters here. It seems to be gaining traction though!
This was a cute little story that I slowly pieced together on stream. I'll be sure to come back once the video is up to share my experience with the game! can't wait to see what else you've got in store!
the cute monkeys and music made me forget what happened for a few moments... and I also felt like a baby trying to do calculus. incredibly confused. enjoyable game nonetheless

Holy peak, played last night but I can't stop thinking about it, fantastic work and impressive for the amount of time making it.
Well, that was intriguing.
ugh. itch really needs a built-in spoiler tag. Having trouble getting it right :)

I liked the way you did the day order to reveal details. And The Grunge was just looking for an excuse.
Is this based off of Super Monkey Ball?
Not intentionally :)

When she said they were expecting THAT, my jaw just DROPPED.
I'm glad to hear the moment hit for you! :D

Intended effect achieved, yay! :D <3 And thanks!!
Out of pure instinct, I declare this a silly horror game, and a good horror game/novel
Ohhh I'm liking that instinct of yours! :D Much appreciated <3
Wow, that was a wild ride. Nice story. I felt attached to the characters by the end
