About The Lonely Gorilla

Welcome to The Lonely Gorilla store page!



This is a animal survival game in the tropical African rain forests and grasslands.
  • A living, breathing environment.
  • Advanced AI simulating animal behaviour.
  • Full climate and weather system.

What do you do in the game?



Explore Rain-forests, grasslands and mountain ranges. Role play as a wild silver-back Gorilla separated from his troop. You must survive the harsh environment finding food, water and shelter.

The ultimate goal is to be reunited with your troop, then protect them against predators and the environment. Can you regain their bonding after the separation? As the alpha male only you can keep the troop together and have the right to mate with the females to produce offspring. If bonding is not high this will not occur, and can even lead to challenges from rival males for troop leader status.

As food resources dwindle, you must lead your troop to new areas while keeping them safe.

How long can you survive?



The game is an indie experience from a small team with a focus on the environment and wildlife. We want to give you a true feeling of this amazing, vastly unexplored area of our planet.
  • Highly detailed environments.
  • Full day night cycle and accurate climate system.
  • Plant growth system.
  • Danger from poachers.
  • Threat from predators and rivals.

We hope you enjoy exploring the beauty of the grasslands, rivers, and rain-forests of Africa. Authentically crafted terrain, vegetation and animals. We would love to hear your feedback on the game, and what you would like to see as we develop towards release.

we were born. we turned around, we saw the horizon. one of our troop found us. but we knew what we had to do: find the ocean. we started running. we met animals: elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, even a leopard. we scared our mate away. we didn't mean it. she never came back. we had to eat: papayas, bananas. and then - boxes, that we were unable to open. they were coconuts, under the palm trees. we were hungry but we could not eat and we could not stop. we found it, the ocean. vast, beautiful, haunting. foggy, blurry, plain. it was always dawn. we stepped in. we kept walking. we made it to the end of the world. and then- we starved. but we were still there. we were confused. weren't we supposed to die? we started walking. the map showed the only one who was waiting for us: one of our own, a male, who had followed us. and we also saw sticks, that were stuck on the sides of the map, never moving. we knew where to go. we kept walking. it was night, it was day. we kept walking. and then map showed us something we did not expect: our home. we walked over it but it was not there. is this afterlife? we wondered. we saved, if it could save us, move us back on the ground. w…

Our primary goal: gather the troops, and head east in the hopes of finding salvation. We saw many things, griaffes, elephants, lions, hippos, even a volcano. But then, disaster struck when my mate broke the hard news of: hoo hoo ha. We all perished shortly after.

I am Kiba Snowpaw, your alpha male ice wolf from the frostbitten realm of HowlStrom. As an experienced gamer with a penchant for the wild, I bring you an in-depth review of [i]The Lonely Gorilla[/i], a survival simulation that lets you embody a silverback gorilla in the harsh African wilderness. Developed and published by Funderground Games, this indie title aims to deliver an authentic animal survival experience. So, let’s dive into the jungle and see if this game roars or falls flat. [h2]Basic Plot Summary[/h2] In [i]The Lonely Gorilla[/i], you play as a silverback gorilla separated from your troop.

You must forage for food, find water, build shelter, and protect your troop from predators and poachers. It’s a struggle for dominance and survival in a beautifully rendered but dangerous environment. [h2]Originality[/h2] The concept of living as a gorilla in a survival game is quite unique.
