* '''Played for Drama''': You have just as much moral control over Emperor Evulz as a PC during his segments and can significantly [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation reinterpret his past actions]] down to [[DeathEqualsRedemption killing himself in the boss battle to]] [[FightingFromTheInside stop his body from being controlled by his cursed crown.]] It leads to the two story paths clearly being alternate universes.
* '''Played for Horror''': The swap of control is used as a reveal that the player perspective was that of a malevolent demon using people as puppets all along.
