It all starts with Otto, a chimp explorer from APE (a space exploration organization) crashes onto the planet Baragox. He quickly discovers an alien tool. He also learns he is the prophesied savior of the now gone alien race, the Jalgonia. It is up to him to navigate the dangers of the planet in order to bring him closer to defeating Agoza, a giant creature who has corrupted the planet. Otto is assisted by his old trainer, Professor Bishop, through radio transmissions. Together they learn the history of the Prophecy, and ultimately how to destroy Agoza.

EXT. WRECKED SHIP IN BARAGOX JUNGLE-DAY
OTTO’s radio BUZZES with STATIC. Broken voices can be heard.
Nothing intelligible. STATIC breaks, voices can be
understood.
COMMANDER
(stereotypical commander
voice)
Why in the blazes did it crash?!
LANDING TECHNICIAN
(stereotypical nerd voice)
Must have programmed it in meters,
but measured it in feet again.
Whoops!
COMMANDER
Never mind that. Is the monkey
okay?
CHIMP LINGUIST
(stereotypical uptight
voice)
Otto is a chimp, and why don’t you
just ask him?
COMMANDER
Why don’t you you’re the linguist.
And while you’re at it, ask him why
the camera won’t work.
CHIMP LINGUIST
Very well. Otto, please respond.
Why doesn’t the camera work?
OTTO
[Chimp speak]
CHIMP LINGUIST
He says he is perfectly fine, and
the camera fell into a glass of
water.
COMMANDER
Then he’s our eyes and ears.
CHIMP LINGUIST
Otto, please describe your
surroundings.
OTTO
[Chimp speak]
CHIMP LINGUIST
He’s in the ship where nothing was
broken. Otto please move left or
right to an exit with the A or D
key. We couldn’t afford a ladder,
so you’ll have to use the SPACE BAR
to jump out of the ship. Let me
know when you’re on the ground.
PLAYER moves Otto out of the ship, jumping over the loose
wiring onto the surface of BARAGOX, the alien planet.
OTTO
[Chimp speak]
CHIMP LINGUIST
Continue moving down the path,
Otto.
Player moves Otto down the path. Otto stops on part of a
broken log, spikes below.
OTTO
[Chimp speak]
CHIMP LINGUIST
I don’t care if there are pretty
flowers. You are there to explore.
Double jump by pressing the SPACE
BAR twice, and continue along the
path.
Player double jumps Otto, and moves down the path. Player
jumps up some giant blocks of stones, and double jumps over a
chasm. Otto stops at the foot of some stairs, near some alien
made stone markers.
TECHNICIAN
(stereotypical tech guy
voice)
Sir, we’re experiencing some
interference with communications.
COMMANDER
(through growing static)
Clear it up. Now!
TECHNICIAN
I’m try--
STATIC then silence. Communications disrupted. Player moves
Otto up the stairs to see the ZANOG, the alien tool Otto uses
for the rest of the game. Otto stops. Radio comes alive.
PROFESSOR BISHOP
Otto, can you hear me? It’s
Professor Bishop.
OTTO
[Chimp speak]
PROFESSOR BISHOP
Good. I have visual and audio feed,
with no interference. Those fools
don’t know what they’re doing. I’m
running research on the planet as
we speak. Approach the pedestal
with the tool on it.
Player moves Otto to the pedestal. Otto picks up the Zanog.
The alien race of this planet
called this a Zanog, a Tool of
Power. It has two firing modes:
additive with the LEFT MOUSE CLICK
and subtractive with the RIGHT
MOUSE CLICK. One of those should
open the gateway before you. We’ll
be in touch.
