Laika

A 3D third-person adventure game set aboard a space station, built with Godot 4.5 and C#.

You play as Laika, navigating through space environments and a sprawling station interior. Collect keycards, unlock doors, avoid hostile enemies, and escape via rocket -- all while the clock is ticking.

Features

• Three-level progression: space exterior, station interior exploration, and a chase sequence
• Third-person controls: movement, jumping, crouching, running, and object interaction
• Inventory system: 5-slot hotbar for color-coded keycards that unlock matching doors
• Enemy variety: patrolling humans with chase AI, static mold hazards, and the Abomination boss pursuer
• Speedrun timer: each level is timed with best records saved and displayed on the main menu
• Cutscenes: skippable intro and scripted story moments between levels
• Audio: original soundtrack and sound effects
