The game contains a few minor bugs:
*First chapter:
-you can examine the bricks in any location to learn the word XYZZY
*Second chapter:
-You can't go back north in the room with the sealed door in the south wall when the door is
sealed although you just came from the north. I used the word xyzzy to escape.
