The man-eating, halitosic gorilla of Brazil is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Adventure Book for Inform 7 and is © 2011 by Marius Müller (writing as Leaner Gilts, "Strangle" Lei, Gain Tellers and Slat Leering). It was an entry in the Speed-IF Jacket 4 event.
You play as AFGNCAAP, a secret agent sent into the Brazilian jungle to find a new mastermind and his secret temple. Too bad he finds you first.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
SPOILERS AHEAD. Reading a walkthrough prematurely can sometimes diminish one's enjoyment of an interactive fiction game. Please make an honest effort to play the game before reading this walkthrough.
