The introduction of a non-human protagonist in a first-person survival-horror setting suggests a departure from traditional human-centric horror tropes. By focusing on a hyper-intelligent chimpanzee, the developers are likely leveraging unique perspectives on power dynamics and environmental interaction to differentiate the title in a crowded indie horror market.
