In the Veldt
For the first several turns, you can't use the portal for unknown reasons.

Cramped Lab
Uh-oh. Big disaster just happened. Note: You can't enter the pod, nor type anything on the keyboard.

Cramped Lab
Can someone explain why "turn dial to 2" acts the way it does, instead of just doing it?
>set dial to 2. n.
Out of the Hamlet
Sorry: there's no hamlet, stream, or bridge to examine.
>n.
On the wooden bridge
Likewise, the herring and force wall aren't examinable, nor does 'jump' or 'swim' help.
>n. n. x leaflet. read it. take it.

Fantasy World
Geez. Welcome to the fantasy world of diddly-squat. Couldn't we see some scenic vista with, y'know, things in it instead of this formless featureless description?
>x leaflet. read it. take it. s. set dial to 4. n.

At the Gate
Note: The house itself isn't examinable. The dog isn't 'animate', nor can you pet it.
>x gate. open it. x briars. x plaque. x dog. tickle dog.
>x leaflet. read it. take it. nw. w. w.
River Bank
The paddle is too large to take through the woods for whatever secondary use is hinted at here, so I assume the canoe is needed to move the paddle. But the game won't let me push or take the canoe, nor does it understand 'launch', 'row', or 'paddle' as a verb. It's possible that I missed out on solving a puzzle here, but it's more likely the implementation of the canoe wasn't finished.
>x canoe. x paddle.

CAUTION: The monsters can kill you if you stay here too long.

Dark Dungeon
Note: Anything put into the bag can't be taken out again until you've tamed it.
>x bag. x label. take bag. x leaflet. read it. take it.

River Bank
Sometimes, violence is the answer.
>put leather in bag. take leather. take paddle. spank bag with paddle. take leather. take bag. s.
Thick Woods
The description has changed to show a disturbing number of cats in the trees, however, you can't refer to the cats at all.
I think there's not likely to be much more to see in this game as it is, and we can stop now.
