I enjoyed this. It gave me a feel of mixing Zak and Maniac Mansion. The start seems more polished than the ending, which is natural given the time constraints. I would love to see the story continue, perhaps even find a use for all those verbs. The mindswap is hilarious, but at the same time opens up for minor flaws, like getting the same replies with a new character, or even trying to speak to the character you now control. Anyway, well done!

- Nice short game. The mind control led to some quite funny situations.
- I love the 9-verb interface - and I loved your game's retro feeling, humor, and story, that was able to combine jam's theme with lovely characters and funny dialogues.
- Full marks for style on this one! Curiously though on my first play I was able to get inside the house without the human host, which meant that I was mostly invisible for the inside, but otherwise worked well. Good sense of humour too, and brilliant mechanics. Please do more!
