The atmosphere in these levels was really amazing! It gave everything the feeling of melancholy appropriate to Laika. I really enjoyed the dithering shadows and the diorama-like buildings out the window.

Historical Accuracy
our game follows Laika, one of the first creatures sent into space during the space race as a test, the game follows three snapshots from the time one of the scientists brought Laika home before the launch, to the launch itself and finally Laika's view from the rocket itself.
Thematic Relevance
we used multiple references, mostly of objects and visuals from that time period, getting objects and spaces to look how they did during the soviet unions heyday, we also brought in actual media recorded from that time.
Disclaimers
no AI was used, but video media and audio was brought in and used verbatim, for example the tv, and the ending video.
