Interactive Buddy loaded from URL not initializing game state properly

[parkerlreed]

Describe the bug

Loading the game multiple times sometimes results in a broken save file. This happens even locally on desktop.

In game File > Clear File fixes this temporarily.

Possibly related to #798

Command for each. I kept the arguments consistent as to show it's only the load via URL that breaks it.

It doesn't actually seem to matter how the game is loaded. It seems that sometimes the save file breaks, causing the game to be unresponsive on next load, as in #798. It happens quite consistently for me on desktop, regardless of whether the game is loaded locally or via a URL. I also observed the problem once on web, but was not able to get it to occur again. Clicking File => Clear File in the game's menu fixes the problem when it occurs, providing further evidence that it's a problem with the save file.
