Jungle area permanently locked?!

[German_Devil_Dog]

So I just finished the jungle region and the game tells me that everything there will be locked after I confirm to leave including creatures and collectibles.

Is there a way to revisit this area later on?! Game doesn't explain this.

yea, after you finished a region, u cant revisit it also it happened when you finished the game, u cant explore any region, because u will know what happened in the ending

i think it's one of the negatives thing in the game

Are you 100% sure that even after finishing the game you can't return? This needs to be patched! Unacceptable.

Creatures of Ava is an adventure game that tells the story of a fading planet. As you progress, you'll notice the planet gradually withering away. This isn't just a gameplay mechanic — there’s a narrative reason for locking biomes after you've completed everything in them. However, we've included a warning system to ensure that you have the opportunity to finish all side-quests and uncover all secrets within each biome before moving on.

We believe this approach offers a good balance between allowing you to explore the world at your own pace while also immersing you in the storyline and your mission as part of the creature-saving crew of Aleph Corporation.

Please note that AT NO POINT DO WE BLOCK THE PROGRESSION OF THE MAIN OR SIDE QUESTS. Only some minor collectibles might become inaccessible after advancing certain parts of the game.

Update: As a reaction to the copy/paste answers by the developers I issued a refund. I am not willing to wait for a solution if there ever will be one to this outrageous game design from hell.

This improper reaction by the studio is unacceptable.

I'm glad for the warning, but it'd be handy if it said if we had X number of lanterns ect left to find. So we know we have everything before leaving a zone, I've been rubbing my face on every inch of the jungle paranoid I may have missed something before I leave.

You don't get an exact number but the message states you may be missing chimes/statues etc and then when you collect them all in the area the message changes just to state that you can't come back to the area once you proceed. So it does have a round-about way of saying you still need to collect things before continuing and then letting you know if you've got them all.

But locking the achievements like this sucks. If the game bugs out on you (like in my game where a transport bot thing didn't spawn and made it so I couldn't collect enough Musi to 100% the entry) it means starting a whole new playthrough to 100% the game.

The info on all collectables you have left on the region is on the map screen.
