which part do you mean by the “last part?” I included hints throughout the game to indicate where to go and what you should do next so that info will really help tell me if either I need to include more or if the hints are too subtle

I assume it is the last part because the light is already very low.
So when you get to the other side of the water, you go up the stairs and there's a hole you can jump to, that's the farthest I could go. I can see what it looks like a wall in front of me but I can't see anything else. I've tried random jumps in that direction but no luck. I mean, having to replay the whole level to try a random jump it's not ideal.
I even tried to "cheat" a little by making a "human bridge" because when the character is dead, its body still has a collider, but still couldn't see where I had to go. 😕
So I’m trying to make sure I understand exactly where you’re stuck. At that part there are two sides to the water. From the left side you can’t progress. You need to get to the other side to do something (there’s a hint as to what you need to do once on that side, and a way to get to that side that doesn’t involve the water room). Then another person can go to the left side and use what you did to get across. Hope that makes sense. If not, I will explain further!
also: stacking up bodies is not cheating at all! I included the bodies because I thought it would enhance the story and feeling that these were many different people sacrificing themselves, but when faced with the fact that they could be stacked into platforms or even block your path and soft lock you, I decided to keep that in intentionally. If 5 people go in and throw themselves down to help the future people get further, great! It’s not necessary, but a “harder” option for those who can’t progress normally so I feel your intuition was great to try it but it’s definitely not “cheating” in my opinion :)
ah okay, maybe it got missed in the final version i shipped but go ALL the way up those stairs, and look at the big builder. You can push it. Then it will allow you to jump on top of it from the left side.
Also it looks like you missed a shortcut you can unlock. The opening of the shortcuts is the main concept of the game. One person gets far enough to open the shortcut so the next person can get further.
Try going slow and exploring between the pushing blocks room and the water room.
Also you’re not quite finished. 60% maybe lol
