First Contact expands the universe of the short episodic series, The Undetected. This chapter leaps back to the early space race. Laika, a Moscow street dog, is strapped into Sputnik 2 as the elected explorer. She rises into a dark and silent abyss that was never meant for a passenger. Laika will be the first to learn who, or what, waits for the people of Earth. Created in Unreal Engine, Cinema 4D, Rokoko Studio, Substance Painter, and Megascans, with alien creature design by Roberto Digiglio. A stray dog goes ahead of us, and something on the far side is already listening.
