[ laika ]
[ laika ] is a hybrid multimedia project spanning physical zine and digital components.
Using rudimentary HTML and CSS programming as well as tools such as QR codes, my
goal was to make an immersive but also challenging puzzle game. It isn't perfect, and
there are certainly parts that I wish I had more know-how to do, but I'm happy how
it turned out in the end. I'd like to think of it as room escape, but in a meta-fiction
scenario. I always enjoyed the pen-and-paper approach of solving online escape the
room games, I tried to replicate that, but incorporating some more physical elements
to it. Well, because of the nature of this project, I don't want to spoil too much. Ah.
To view this project you need to buy a physical copy of it, so there's not  much here.

edit : 19 Feb 2018
Since I haven't sold a single copy (lol), I'm just gonna post the pdf for people to print 
and try out at home. You're still welcome to support me by buying on the Etsy page to 
get a sticker with the purchase. I'll also probably be at TCAF as pay-what-you-can. 
You can find the document at the bottom of this page. Cheers!

The zine is available to purchase at Etsy, there is a limited number with
probably little chance of reprints. Also, a vinyl sticker is included!
