Mixed review.

On the positive side, Do Not Feed the Monkeys is a collection of short detective scenarios that are really well done and very engaging. I rarely finish games, let alone replay them, but I'm currently working through a second playthrough of DNFtM.

On the negative side, you have to deal with a mix of gameplay mechanics that will leave you with an adrenaline hangover. You have to constantly be on edge looking for yellow-highlighted clues to click, as they only appear for about a second and often won't reappear for ~10 minutes if you miss them. All the while you have to manage your hunger/sleep/money meters, and try to combine clues to get more clues when you have some downtime. Basically you'll spend the whole game on high alert, trying to make every second count and in a state of hypervigilence trying to make sure you catch the clues in time. Fun, but it quickly takes its toll on your brain and becomes quite unpleasant.
