You can go back and try other things. like digging in the garden multiple times with the shovel. If you restart the game three times you'll discover something new in the mansion basement (the first one near the garden). This leads to what was supposed to be more of a dungeon version of the game but it never got past the few few rooms. If you get a winning game ending there will be an "Amusing" option. This can take you to the "bonus game" but that's not been completed either at this time. Using the "betatester" command can show you some of the cheat commands to get to other areas of the game faster.
