Gameplay

Added a new Grab System. Enemies can now attempt to physically grab Melany when in close range instead of relying on damage-based triggers.
Reworked interaction flow: enemies must now be near the player to initiate grabs, eliminating cases where interactions triggered from unrealistic distances.
Added “tension-based” grab logic. Staying close to enemies increases their likelihood to attempt a grab. Frequently moving in and out of range accelerates this buildup.
Implemented Grab Priority System: Light attacks can be interrupted and transitioned into a grab. Heavy attacks and ultimates (e.g. Kryth’s jump attack) cannot be interrupted and always take priority.
Added Global and Local Cooldowns for grabs: Enemies that grab enter a local cooldown before attempting another grab. Nearby enemies are affected by a shorter global cooldown to prevent chain grabs.
Added Struggle Mini-Game System. When grabbed, players enter a short interaction phase that allows them to resist and escape.
Moved all mini-games (except Control Fight) out of animation scenes and into the Grab System.
Removed rhythm prompts and score requirements from animation scenes.
Added 2 grab animations for Kryth and Myrmidalus.
NPCs now pick attacks based on priority, including Light, Heavy and Ultimate attacks. Damage varies by attack and heavier attacks are less likely to be selected frequently.
All NPCs now use the new and more advanced AI system.
Reworked the Lab game mode

Miscellaneous

Updated Melany’s skin shader to support liquid effects, with upcoming implementation in animation scenes.
Added setting to disable the Control Mini-Game. Turning it off will persist across all animation scenes.
Pick a song from the animation scene.

Reworked animation scene UI to better highlight the current animation and preview the next animation when hovering over it.
Added a simple operating system UI in the Lab scene.
Animation Picker and Abilities Picker are now hidden when the enemy is in control during animation scenes.

Fixes

Fixed typos in dialogue during Level 2 (Slime dialogue) and Level 3 (Emergency Landing cutscene).
