Sorry for the long wait. IRL difficulties kept me from getting back to this project for a long time.
This year, I've shifted away from developing the update in favor of reworking this project with a side-scrolling perspective and real-time combat.
I already have a prototype mechanic where you can remove the top half of victims' skulls and extract their brains through the physics-based system.
The victim's body now understands what's in their head and immediately obeys it when the contents change, whether it's a brain, a parasite, or a speaker with a voice assistant.
