Life out of the Doghouse: a Word-Type game

WSAD - Movement Enter - Bring up your speech bubble and type! Bump into people repeatedly to have a conversation, just like in real life. Say words to / WACKY / characters and have them say words to you - or not directed at anyone in particular! Hint: Take note of highlighted words, perhaps repeat them to really cement their meaning. There are 4 effects you can trigger (no requirement to be nearby objects to trigger them) 9 unique interactions - many give a hint on what to say to win the game. Or just a meme. If its too cryptic, the phrases are in the comments.
