Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 RGB zLib Theora

Going to the outhouse and doing one of the things the "look" command suggests, leads to an endless loop with the interpreter telling "You're not close enough"

Could you reproduce it with NAGI?

Reproduceable

This is a script bug with script 9: when you perform the action that the look command suggests, variable 210 is set to 2, but the check for it is incorrect and it is evaluates to true on every iteration of the script, thus the message "You're not close enough" keeps popping up over and over. There's not much that can be done about this one, it's a design flaw of the game, and since this is a fanmade game, the game's author should fix that. Closing as "won't fix".
