Planet Laika (プラネットライカ) is a role-playing video game developed by Quintet and Zeque for the PlayStation home game console. The game follows the main character, Laika, through a mission to Mars which forces the player to manipulate Laika's multiple-personality disorder in order to solve puzzles. All the characters in the game have dog heads, a possible reference to the Soviet space dog Laika. The game was only released in Japan.<br /><br />Unlike most RPGs, which feature turn-based battles, Planet Laika's are played out almost like Space Invaders and Pong. The player must bounce around a Mind Core and reflect back the enemies' attacks to inflict damage. There are not a lot of battles in the game and enemies only attack when Laika is in one of the special forms.<br /><br />As this was patched not so long ago (15 February to be exact but the update came out just yesterday so I will update the patch soon), I have tested this until almost the end but got stuck in a glitch there. Because ePSXe cannot be recorded in-game, I have to use the square area recording for this so it's not surprising when you will sometimes see an error square from other program suddenly appear in the middle of the recording screen (Yup, that's the bad thing about this emulator). Also, since ePSXe 1.6.0 (The version I used to playtest the game) had a problem with saving (The save always gone by the time I reset the game), I had to download the newer version to fix this save problem (I wonder if the new version also fix the glitch). I used the 1.8.0 version in this recording.<br /><br />I will rephrase the information of this bizarre game from test progress so far since the information I found from Wiki alone is not enough as this is the only game from Quintet that never got released to international and only in Japan. So in this game, we will be playing as the dog character nicknamed "Laika" whose real name depends on you during the naming section at the beginning. Laika is a timid and quiet radio tech handler but suffers from DID (A term used for people suffering from split personality), his DID originated from the mental abuse caused by his stepfather and the father's spoiled son in the past. On Mars, there are a lot of characters with their specific aura color (The colors are mainly red, blue, and yellow or green. Red aura came from a person of Animal type with lust for power and violence, blue aura came from a person of Psycho type with lust for knowledge, yellow or green aura came from a person of Visual type with lust for beauty) and talking to one of them will make Laika absorbs the aura from the person he is talking to. If enough specific color is absorbed (For example, often talk to a character with a blue aura), his mind scope will start turning blue and if it gets dark blue or indigo, a different face will appear on the mind scope instead of his face. This face is his other personality from the DID and each of them will be called after Laika look at himself in any mirror to solve the
