Do Not Feed the Monkeys earns a low 2/10 woke score by focusing on player-driven satire about privacy and surveillance without lectures, activism, or identity politics.
Do Not Feed the Monkeys (2018) centers on voyeuristic surveillance of strangers through hacked cameras, resource management, and optional moral interventions in short, branching vignettes.
Its stories feature varied characters such as a pregnant woman, foreign-language speakers, a social activist, and a dictator parody, but these serve the game's satirical take on privacy erosion and dystopian absurdity rather than any identity-focused framing. Developer interviews from Fictiorama Studios stress player agency and avoiding lectures, with explicit statements that they prefer players draw their own conclusions without imposed moralizing or activism.
No character customization, pronoun mechanics, gender/sexuality swaps of established figures, or DEI consultancy involvement appears in the design or marketing. Incidental visual diversity in the pixel-art cast fits the urban, multi-ethnic setting organically and does not drive plots or themes. Reception shows consistent praise for the unique concept across Metacritic (77), OpenCritic (77), and Steam (Very Positive), with zero documented controversies or backlash tied to progressive messaging.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
