Possibly bug, and a comment.

Talked to Emily, she moves further away. I give her crowbar. This the comment, For I actually liked quite much from the idea that you had to give the crowbar to Emily to juggle with. 

Otherwise I would argue that it would have never came to my mind to ask her to juggle the crowbar, however, since it was practically only thing in my inventory (only other thing being the letter), it didnt take long to figure it out, why not try pass the crowbar to her.

So, right now that puzzle was fun and enjoyable. However, if there would be lots of items in my inventory, then that puzzle had been quite bad, since I wouldnt have thought of givng that crowbar to her as a solution. Now I just tried it based upon not having anything else to try anyway, so who knows, maybe she takes it, although I thought she wouldnt. Was more of thinking that I probably need to find some round shaped thing to give her to juggle with that would cause damage to apple stall.

The possible bug part: After crowbar is thrown and apple seller drags emily home. The description still tells that there is apple stall, and seller behind it.

However, using TAKE APPLE, did work.

I assume idea was that the apple stall is now empty since seller is dragging Emily home, hence making it possible to take one of the apples from there.

Couldnt do EAT nor CONSUME apple (only tried consume as alternative to EAT).

SIT BENCH, BREAK BENCH (didnt recgonise)

I assume you did the fix of text sctrolling problem by forcing it to empty the screen when it is full of text. This is otherwise good, but it creates two problems. One more of a minor, one bit more serious one.

Mionr problem is that sometimes when trying to figure out what two words I should use, I wonder if I already used some word, this is more of when I already have an idea of what words to use and in different comgbinations, then right after hitting enter I might think "Which combination was the previous one" and then screen might have cleared and I cant see it anymore.

Bigger problem however is that in these kind of situations where I am trying to guess which two words to use, I dont have time to see what text game is putting out as last.

Like I might use "GIVE APPLE" there comes text to screen, and before I get to read it, screen is already cleared out, and now I dont know if I succeeded in doing something or not.

Possibly bug, unless it is by purpose that you dont see right from distance.

In front of farmhouse you see a cow LOOK COW and he answers GOAT is tied. LOOK GOAT, wont be recognised.

So is it a cow or a goat (sounds more like goat) and if the idea is that you first see wrong, then it would be logical to give same end result, whether using COW or GOAT, since you anyway now know it is a GOAT, so why cant I just LOOK GOAT.

This also creates the problem of having to try things twice. TALK COW, TALK GOAT, since I cant be sure which one could be right.

Bug and hard to understand.

I finally got past the farmhouse of Mr Legge.

It was very difficult to understand what I was supposed to do. When trying to go to gate, it tells me to check if Mr Legge is home. So I use all kinds of GO HOUSE, GO FARMHOUSE, LOOK LEGGE, TALK LEGGE...

DIdnt come to my mind to KNOCK DOOR.

However, as I thought the idea might be that I need to get to the GATE, I assumed it was a GATE to the house all the time, and since there was that COW / GOAT that seemed to be possibly guarding that place (was anticipating it to be that way), so I started trying to do something with that, and thought solution would be to GIVE APPLE to the GOAT. It also came to my mind that since its a GOAT, who know, maybe it will eat the LETTER instead. so GIVE LETTER, and that started conversation between Josephine and Mr Legge. I assume this shouldnt have happened, especially since this conversation didnt trigger the possibiilty to go to the GATE.

However, because of this, I realised to KNOCK DOOR, aftetr which Mr Legge asks lettetr for a proof. GIVE LETTER again, same conversation happens, but now the GATE is finally accessible.

Bug, a serious one in practice I guess.

I finally got to GATE, it tells there is a TROLL guarding there. TALK TROLL does nothing, which I assume is the right thing to do, nor can you go EAST (which is only direction shown, blocked by this troll I assume)

GIVE APPLE works, and Jospehine talks with Steven (The troll I assume) and conversation obviously was supposed to have some previous talk.

I lose the APPLE from the inventory, but way is still blocked by TROLL. Therefore I assume I have to load a previous save, since I guess I cant get pass this, even after the bug is fixed, since I dont have the APPLE anymore, and there is no way to get back to GATE.

Also, was that COW / GOAT supposed to be blocking a way, as in, was I supposed to interact with that somehow? Since that never happened.

Anyway, waiting for update/confirmation again, before continuing.
