Can't scroll back through commands by pressing the up arrow
Conversation doesn't work properly. observe:
>ask mother about house
You try, but your mother changes the subject.
The above should have a response. But it's not nearly as strange as the following:
>ask father about retirement
You try, but your mother changes the subject.
This should also have a response (from the father). These work just fine in a downloaded copy of the game.
Characters who shouldn't show up at the end of room descriptions (they are already written into the room description for this scene) show up at the end of the room description.
In "Back Home," when the player awakens in their bedroom, it reports after showing exits for the room: "your mother and your father are here.(sic)" They are not and that text should not be there. It's not there in a downloaded copy.
Latency in command response (not a broken thing, but still an annoyance I figured I'd mention if it's something that can be improved)
A few times while I was typing, the command line inconveniently cleared itself, so I had to type my command over again. This only seemed to happen with inputs longer than, say, 12 or so characters (in length, not an input referencing 12 characters-- that would be insane).
">x me" doesn't execute properly (in "Back Home" the display of the character's inventory has been ALR'd out of the examine me response... in the online Runner, it's back in, and quite a bit more jarring than might be expected)
Inventory has also been ALR'd, but doesn't properly display (the game reports "You are wearing nothing," which it shouldn't do in Back Home)
Some necessary commands in the game simply don't work, though they work just fine in a downloaded Runner. For example, examining an object which isn't really there, but whose examining has been simulated by a task in this game just reports "I'm sorry, I don't know which object or character you are trying to examine." So the game is unwinnable when played using the Online Runner.
