Summary
Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is an adventure game about a family of gibbons lost in a dangerous world beyond their understanding. It features free-flowing movement based on brachiation, letting players swing through the trees the way real gibbons do, including acrobatic moves such as launching from another gibbon's hands in mid air. The story mode offers an hourlong adventure, while liberation mode sends players racing to freedom through a procedurally generated jungle.
