The Player Movement task in the library uses a restriction to display a default message if you cant move in the selected direction.
This is OK for compass directions, but for in, out, up & down the message "There is no route to the up" sounds very strange and should be "There is no route up".

Could be fixed with 4 extra tasks with restrictions like "Referenced direction must be up".

In/out may sound better as "There is no way in"

This could be done quite simply by adding alternate descriptions to the text box of the "Player Caracter must have a route available to referenced Direction" restriction in the "Player Movement" task of the standard library.
The current restriction message is:
"There is no route to the %LCase[%direction%]%, only %ListExits[%Player%]%."
Alternate description for up/down could be:
"There is no route %LCase[%direction%]%, only %ListExits[%Player%]%."
and for in/out:
"There is no way %LCase[%direction%]%, only %ListExits[%Player%]%."

Fixed. I actually changed the library message to the following:

There is no route <# IF(%direction% = "up" OR %direction% = "down" OR %direction% = "in" OR %direction% = "out", "", "to the ") #>%LCase[%direction%]%, only %ListExits[%Player%]%
