Indika is an adventure game with slight arcade elements. Inspired by the works of Mikhail Bulgakov and Fyodor Dostoyevski, the game was developed by an independent studio Odd Meter. The team used to operate in Moscow, but after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they moved to Kazakhstan, to the city of Almaty. The game was published by the Polish company 11 bit studios. It's worth noting part of the income from sales was donated to help children affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Plot

Indika is set in an alternate 19th century Russia, where religious visions intertwine with reality. The protagonist is the titular Indika, a young nun who leaves her monastery for a journey of self-discovery. Along the way, she discovers the truth behind religion, authority and the dualistic nature of good and evil. Indika is not alone on her journey, accompanied by the Devil himself.

Indika Review: More State of Mind Than a Game, Just Like Russia It Depicts

Indika is more than a game. It’s a fascinating, one-of-a-kind experience, playing with conventions and instilling disturbing thoughts in our heads. If only developers didn’t desperately try to avoid sticking a “walking sim” label to their work…

Game Informer: 8.8 / 10 by Marcus Stewart

The result is an adventure that feels thoughtfully conceived, humorous, and depressing all at once, as well as “off” in the right ways. Indika is one of the year’s most affecting and memorable adventures, and its themes will stick with me as I continue to ponder their meanings.

Shacknews: 9 / 10 by Josh Broadwell

Indika isn't an easy game to score. Tedious puzzles annoy in the moment, but they're easy to overlook in the broader scheme. Indika's underdeveloped theme stands out, but Odd Meter handles everything else so adeptly that it doesn't ruin the experience, even if it is slightly soured. As trite as it sounds, this really is one game you have to play for yourself and form your own conclusions - and that's probably just how Odd Meter wants it.

Push Square: 8 / 10 by John Cal McCormick

While we've got issues with some of the less than adventurous gameplay mechanics, in most other regards Indika is an absolute triumph. It teeters on a cliff edge, tonally, but never goes too far in any one direction. It never becomes preachy, or maudlin, or too silly for its own good. It's a wonderful balancing act, and one that it continues right up until its final moments which will leave you unsure about whether you should laugh or cry.
