Really great entry! It was cool seeing all the updates in Discord, and I'm really impressed at how polished it feels on all fronts! Gameplay, visuals, and audio all feel very fine-tuned. The only weird thing was that using Ctrl to descend in water felt a little awkward in tandem with WASD, but that's only a minor nitpick. It's especially inspiring knowing that this is a reimagining of an older game of yours.

Excellent work!

Wow! Such an awesome game! Such good mechanics and graphics! Such a thoroughly made game is the last thing that I would expect in a game jam with such a time limit. There are still some things to improve:

1) Why doesn't the game have an itch.io page? (But this is minor, not so important.)

2) You should have properly explained that you can press Q anytime to switch characters. It took me long to understand this. I restarted the game two times because I didn't understand it and thought that the game was bugged.

Otherwise, the game is brilliant! I liked:

1) The character-switching mechanics are cool! (You should have only explained it better.)

2) The graphics and the look of the critters are good.

3) The audio part of the game and the half-horror atmosphere were nice.

4) The game takes place in a quite big map with several locations.

5) I would consider points 1-4 nothing special if this was a paid triple-A game. How did you manage to create such a masterpiece in nine days? That's incredible!

This game might win the jam.

PS: Your game uses the Button Smash and Rage Room wildcards. However, I didn't spot a quick-time-event or a rage room in the game. Does the game contain some secrets that I didn't find?

Very nice to see the finished project! There's a really great amount of polish to this, i'm especially impressed by the rigging for the characters.

Honestly, not a lot else i can say that others havn't! Enjoyed my time with it, reminded me a lot of games like Lost Vikings.

Well done!

Very little I can say that hasn't been said, but the level design and atmosphere remind me of Half Life in the best way.

The level of audio/visual quality was just incredible for a game jam. The animations too, and even the loading screen! As others have noted, the backtracking was probably the biggest issue, though control customization would have been nice too! (I’m a weirdo that doesn’t have ctrl easily accessible when my keyboard is in gaming mode)

An honorable showcase of fidelity and smoothness to be expected from a proven veteran of GWJ.

A nitpick I have is that the picker interface, in my opinion, works best when the bugs are in very separate places. A good example of this use-case is Goodbye Deponia, in a section that has you control 3 clones operating in separate environments.

I'm curious of the resources you have used and what you did yourself.

Mind blowing level of of work and details was put in this game.

Excellent atmosphere, animations and level design. Kudos to the environmental change and cutscenes.

A Stellar work you can be proud of. I had a really fantastic time playing it.

Holy shit! The sound design, the animations, the menus, it's all so polished! If the environments were done up a little and there were a few more levels it could easily be a full game! Brilliant work :D

Wow. Others have pointed out how impressive this is, and I completely agree. One thing that jumped out to me was how much the level felt like a sci-fi environment without there being a ton of stuff going on. The music, colors, lighting, and design really sold the idea. The walls and floors are mostly just solid colors, but the angular window and door shapes, and especially the recessed lighting in some of the rooms and ramps really sold the concept. Great environmental design.

Oh, and I often "hack" my devices the same way the Guardian does. 

I loved the art direction of this game! Honestly what can I say I'm surprised you managed to do this in a week considering how professional everything looks :D

I do feel like the speed of the critters could've been a biiit faster but hey, I think it fits the mood of the game

Exceptional skills on display, as usual from JG. The AAA-style menu and camera programming is unlike anything one sees on the game jam scene. The character models and animations also need to be isolated for praise. For so many devs, it's such a daunting task in and of itself during the limited nine-day timespan to get a basic game loop done, that one rarely sees this type of third-person environmental exploration with fully functional models. It's just a one-man army.

I do concur however that the gameplay was a bit bland for me. Usually need more of an incentive to overcome the more head-scratching parts of the level design puzzles, but it wasn't established enough what the overarching reason was to surmount them.

Not sure if it was by intention (to help overcome the aforementioned blocks), but the camera clips through the walls.

Nonetheless, any time I see a solo John Gabriel game on the submission list, it's a must-play to see how far the envelope has been pushed in the Godot Wild Jam. Excellent work as always.
