MEET A NOT-SO-ORDINARY NUN
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.
ENJOY AN INDIE GAME WHERE EVERYTHING GOES
The subjects of religion and authority are prevalent throughout Indika’s journey and she’ll be faced with many questions along the way. Guide her to find the answers one by one before she can finish her life-defining odyssey.
Odd Meter is a small, independent studio formerly based in Moscow and now operating out of Kazakhstan. Its members put aesthetics at the forefront and aren’t afraid to tread the fine line of ethical norms. Their game is a great testament to that, as INDIKA constitutes an open challenge to the industry's established approach to creating video games.

Didn't enjoy it as much. The gameplay isn't particularly good, the story and themes aren't as interesting as I thought they'd be. At least it's short?....1 found this helpful
I played this as a walking simulator, and really enjoyed it. I had expected it to be one, going in. It turned out to be a game with three things. 1. Wonderful, eerie landscapes. Mostly snow and weird early 20th century industrial complexes. Whoever crafted the snow scenes really understands snow. The way it sometimes seems to form parallel strings when falling in a wind shear, the way it piles up in specific places and leaves (for example) a small stretch at the foot of one wall empty. Also, the buildings and some of the landcapes have a surreal quality. Very well done, all of it. I wish I were able to read russian, I really wanted to know what all the printed posters, notes on walls, tin labels, etc. say. 2. Interesting dialogs. People are really divided on this. Most of the things philosophy says about life I have never heard. So most of what is said in the game I have never seen spelled out so concisely. It was fun to see what I agreed with and what I didn't. 3. Difficult mini games and lots of missable achievements. I have NO idea why those were included in the game. I failed most of the physics puzzles (had to look them up in a guide) and had a hard time with some of the pl…
Indika perfectly captures the experience of trying to be a good person while a tiny sarcastic demon in your ear fact-checks your entire existence. The game gives you literal XP points for praying, only to mock you for caring about video game numbers. A beautiful, surreal fever dream.
directing, art, and game design is one of the best ive ever seen easily a 10/10 game wonderful in everything
An hour in, rape scene and obscene sexualisation of a child-like nun. No thank you.
One of the most incredibly bizarre yet intriguing games I've ever experienced (especially for the price elsewhere).
