On July 28, 1983, a helicopter flying over Africa suffered a mechanical failure, forcing the protagonist to crash-land in an uncharted wilderness. Waiting there were the vengeful descendants of a legendary giant gorilla, harborous of deep resentment toward humanity. To survive, the protagonist must climb palm trees using ropes and drop coconuts to fend off the incoming assailants. It is a grueling survival action game where you must dodge persistent bats and relentless climbers to stay alive.
