About this game

Primates is a VR movement game where you play as a monkey and move around using your arms instead of traditional controls. You climb, swing, push yourself off surfaces, and launch through the environment using natural arm movement. The focus of the game is freedom of movement and fun social gameplay.

The maps are designed specifically for this type of movement. Each area has different structures, terrain, and spaces that let players experiment with climbing routes, shortcuts, and creative ways to move around. Whether you are scaling walls, jumping across gaps, or just messing around with friends, the world is built to reward exploration.

Primates also focuses on a clean and simple visual style so the game stays easy to read while moving quickly. The environments are colorful and stylized, with areas like canyon landscapes and other themed spaces that make the world feel playful and unique without being overly complicated.

Players use a simple monkey-style player model and interact with the world using their hands. This keeps the gameplay easy to learn but hard to master, as movement skill improves the more you play.

Primates is designed as a social experience too. Players can explore maps together, experiment with movement, and enjoy the chaotic fun that comes from everyone learning new tricks and routes through the environment.

The goal of Primates is simple: create a fun VR playground where movement feels satisfying, exploration is rewarding.
