You are invited to join “The Primate Observation Club”, where you will observe the lives of caged monkeys and carefully analyze the information obtained. GLOSSARY OF TERMS: THE PRIMATE OBSERVATION CLUB: a shadowy group that observes other people through surveillance cameras and compromised webcams. YOU: the newest member of the CLUB, tired of your run-down apartment, dull existence and boring job. MONKEYS: dozens of strangers who have fallen prey to your voyeurism. PRIVACY: Something that the monkeys think they have. PC (PERSONAL COMPUTER): Yep, we put a PC in your game that’s on your device so that you can work on a PC while you’re playing the game that’s on your device! FEEDING THE MONKEYS: Interacting or interfering with the subjects in any way. Feeding the monkeys is strictly prohibited. Oddly enough, club members keep feeding the monkeys as though they just can’t abide by this very simple rule! How about you? Will you help those you’re spying on, extort them, expose them and sabotage their dreams, or will you follow your instructions and sit twiddling your thumbs while the world burns?
