I am divided about this one rio85... but just because I happened to play your Round 1 submission! Of course I will rate this unbiased, but here are my thoughts:
On the one hand, I am happy you revisited your first round and explored the same world, sort of giving an introduction to Round1. The SFX and the trippy audio set the mood for the weird world and visions that followed.
On the other, after playing it all, it felt that it could have more potential regarding the theme... Please don't get this the wrong way, doing game jams and especially GDKO is super hard and demanding and most of the time real life hits harder when you want to make games.
My experience was this: "oh cool weird boat, I can't really hear what these people are saying, let me turn on the volume, oh its gibberish in purpose? Cool, press SPACE, oh its this ITS THIS RED GUY FROM LAST ROUND! OH nice! Can't wait to see how the theme was implemented! Nice nice I know this place, nice, a few extra effects and SFX, aha aha nice, oh I remember this vision nice and creepy I wonder if we are going to learn what happened here, nice nice, oh wait, big boys are here again, okay nice nice- the end?"
You had as going there so good so I really was expecting something more, can't wait to learn more on the next round!
