I don't know why the new prototype game alex8778 is working on was merged with this thread, as has been mentioned earlier. It's a completely separate game.
It would be nice to have a bit of info on it.
My understanding is that alex8778 has a hidden itch.io page with links to the new game, with the details of each update being published on his Patreon.
Confusingly, Escape Forced Overtime (the main game for this thread) also begun it's development under the name "New Prototype".
However, the latest prototype currently being worked on is completely separate. I've only seen it as "Prototype 2".
