This game was inspired by early Infocom games. Your uncle puts you in a robot's body and sends you home with a secretly subversive employee.
It's fairly short, with about a half dozen puzzles, usually where you are presented with an obstacle and have to find an object to defeat it.
Somehow, it reminded me of the newer game Nine Lives by Merlin Fisher. Both are fun little old school games set in a house with similar aesthetics.
