    INDIKA is a third-person, story-driven game set in a strange world where religious visions clash with harsh reality. It tells the story of a young nun who sets off on a journey of self-discovery with the most unusual, horn-headed companion by her side.

    On the outside, Indika seems to be a typical nun attempting to adjust to a difficult and monotonous monastery life. Humble and innocent in her appearance, do not be deceived as this young girl has also made a highly unlikely acquaintance - as she speaks with the devil himself.

    Indika's unusual connection with the Evil One leads her on an errand beyond the safe walls of the monastery. The world she discovers can only be described as a wild combination of comedy and tragedy straight out of the novels by Dostoyevski and Bulhakov.

    Indika is a must. It stays with you, its heroine is fascinating, and its surreal vision is unsettling. You haven’t played anything like it.

    Indika is a unique game. Odd Meter uses all the elements and resources to bring to life a narrative experience that leaves a mark. You will never forget its ending.

    A journey of a simple nun, which makes you wonder if it is the world that is against those who are different, or those who are different are that way because of how the world treats them . A violent and psychologically very hard journey that surprises with its great manufacturing and its trips to the past in Pixel Art format. The game that seems like you are playing is the one that Indika's own madness has in her mind. As he says: The score doesn't matter.

    INDIKA is a wild ride through an alternate Russia in the 19th century. The often philosophical story and the three fascinating main characters carry the game even in the moments where it’s getting dragged down by dull gameplay. Paired with an excellent soundtrack and extremely dark humor the developers show that they are capable of making incredible interactive entertainment.

    Indika is a game I was so looking forward to playing and much of it delivers. The world-building and experimentation in terms of story and gameplay are to be applauded. The visuals are very good, as are the voice performances, but it all kind of runs out of steam by the end, feeling incomplete.

    Indika will no doubt be one the most unique games we play this year, if not one of the best. It’s themes are both layered thick and somewhat confusing and the odd pacing means we can never really settle into the flow of things. We still found some fun to be had, mainly in the weird settings and 2D sequences, and those with a bit more of an open mind will no doubt enjoy it, but it certainly won’t be for everyone.

    Indika invites players on a spiritual journey of exploration, puzzle-solving and mini-games. All this takes place in a tortuous universe where darkness and light mingle, symbolising the eternal struggle between good and evil. The title stands out for its originality and visual signature, alternating between 3D and pixel art graphics, and enriches the landscape of contemporary video games. However, because of its deep themes and satirical humour, it is aimed primarily at an informed audience in search of a new experience.
