In this minimalist wordplay game where all commands and responses are only two words or less, you play as Doctor Frankenstein's assistant, Igor. He orders you find a head, hair, eyes, ears, a body, arms, hands, legs, and feet and bring them to his laboratory.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Version 1.0.0 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.

Endings
Igor dead.
if, on the bridge, you jump or enter the moat. You'll be given the option to rollback; say yes if you want to undo your death. Otherwise the game restarts from the beginning.
"Sorry, master."
if you collect all nine "body parts", drop them in the lab, then pull the rope. This is the winning ending, but it sure doesn't read like a win.
Inventory
You have an carrying limit of 5 items, not counting clothing you're wearing or things inside other things.
Clothing
suit. It appears at the dry cleaner when you give the receipt there.
At the dry cleaner, give the receipt. The attendant will produce the suit, which you can now take.

In the garden, dig (with the spade) to find the carrot.
saw. It's in the garden shed.
In the living room, saw legs to remove two legs from the table.
needles. They're in the haberdashery.
They have eyes. Take the eyes; the needles are now pins.
pins. They're what's left of the needles after you take their eyes.
You don't need the pins.
cloth. It's in the haberdashery.
You don't need the cloth.
cotton. It's in the haberdashery.
You don't need the cotton.
Treasures (false body parts)
The "treasures" in this game are things that sound like the body parts that Doctor Frankenstein wants, but are other things instead. Drop all the treasures in the laboratory, then pull the rope there when you've got them all.
First, buy the rulers with 20 peas; see bag. Examine the rulers to find the feet. Take the feet.
Score
The response to SCORE is as laconic as the rest of the game:
Score: your-score
The maximum score is 90. For each of the nine "treasures", you earn 5 points when you first obtain it, and another 5 points when you drop it in the laboratory.
If, for some reason, you take a treasure from the lab, you lose the points for depositing it until you re-drop it there.
