Playing an alien than can mindcontrol humans is high up on my list of fun plots for adventure games and this one delivers. It is a jamgame and feature 1.5 rooms so to say but there are things to do to controls those humans and find the alien technology they are not capable of handling. Some fun characters can be met, as dog can be fooled and even beer is involved. There is some fun music playing and fitting the setting and the graphics are nice pixelart. The character animation works but sadly towards the end we see the jamgame nature as other characters have no walkcycle but leads to finishing up the game. The puzzles are fun to solve, though the last one took me too long and cost me some nerve but it makes more sense this way...

Synopsis: Help an agent of the Martian Interstellar Spy Corps recover dangerous technology that has fallen into the wrong hands. This is a rough demo created in two weeks for the $107 Adventure Game Challenge. I am hoping to add more polish post jam and potentially extend it if people are interested. It’s mostly a silly one room joke game in its current state. Enjoy!

Please note: There are likely to be many bugs and there is a particularly bad one on the first scene when using the mind controller on Mervin. Do not click again until the game responds or it’s getting interrupted and causing a stuck state on using the inventory item. I have it fixed for a patch/post jam.
