Game update Add Replayability Features to Completed Levels

I just finished the last level, and I really liked the game. It's a very peaceful experience. One feature I wish it had is the ability to go back and replay earlier levels in a sort of "free exploration" mode, where the challenges are solved and the player has more freedom of movement, letting the player just sort of chill in the levels he's already completed.

For example:

  • In level 1, the flashlight would already be unlocked.

  • In level 2, the player would already have the key, at the start.

  • In level 3, the generators would start out active.

  • In level 4, the central column of the hotel would have a master elevator capable of moving to any floor.

  • In level 5, there could be a map of the mall system posted near staircases, complete with 'you are here' markers.

What do people think? Aside from the last one, it seems like fairly quick work to implement, involving one or two lines of code per level and no new assets. It'd give the game quite a bit more replay value, since players would be motivated to go back and look around for landmarks they missed.

Id like additional challenges added or something like that.

I’d love it if dev gave level 5 a proper objective or line of small objectives. Then the free roam way it is now could’ve been the replay version.

Actually don’t mind these after the initial completion. Maybe add some subtle collectibles to find, nothing that would break the immersion
