It gave that impression though, but that could simply due to how it handles words it doesn't understand. (for example, any sentence that contains the word left is treated as a command to walk left)

SPOILER:
Not exactly that way: In the top of the first tree, you can "Look to the left" or "Go left", each one doing different actions.
Poor Gent Stickman tries to understand you the best he can with his open head, using what is known as loose parsing mode, versus strict parsing mode that would be more suitable for learning languages games, for example, to check correct gramar.
Thanks for playing! ;)
