What a unique game. Very clever adding the pixel art platforming to a modern 3D storytelling. The story is very odd is a great way. If you like games like Firewatch, added with some simple puzzles, you will like this too.

Oct. 2024

Amazing game, play it with Russian voiceover and English subtitles to feel like you're playing a surreal Dostoyevsky novel. Up there with Hellblade 1 in terms of quality and outshines Hellblade 2. Wonderful game with great themes and beautiful graphics.

When a brook hits a rock, does it choose which way to go? Overall: 9/10 INDIKA definitely is one of the weirdest games I've ever played. Blending a retro aesthetic through its flashbacks and music with some pretty realistic visuals and an interestingly short assortment of cut scenes. This is unlike, well, almost anything I've played before. First half hour of INDIKA will be spending on completing on some, seemingly irrelevant tasks. Though that is definitely intentional by devs. All those tasks serves one purpose: To creating an engaging gameplay loop. To put player in the shoes of Indika as she questions the point of not only these tasks, but her entire faith. To create a sense of contrast between her monotonous life in the monastery and puzzles and exciting sequences found outside of the walls. I do enjoy those puzzles, even though I'm not a puzzle game lover. Genuinely engaging and inventive brain teasers. This odd position between the honest but boring life of a nun and the sinful but exciting gameplay found in the wider world is exemplified by the voice inside of Indika's head--the devil. She's intensely flawed, but profoundly relatable, what some might describe as the perfect depiction of a sinner. The narrative I experienced in INDIKA had me engaged, deep in thoughts and above all else disturbed. These are the feelings that stuck with me long after I reached the credits. The visual of the game is very impressive. Just to remember that this is from a indie dev. The level of detail in every unique environment and interior is absolutely mind-blowing. And I'm not sure what exactly they're using for lighting, but it looks really good. In summary, INDIKA is an incredibly unique experience that isn't afraid to ask some big questions, with it's interesting and varied visual presentation along with some inventive and engaging puzzles. It's an outstanding display of what Indie dev can offer to this media.

INDIKA is like if Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn somehow coordinated a Jacques Tati and Monty Python collaboration to make a game back in the early 1970s with the knowledge, culture and technology of today. That's the best way to describe the experience of INDIKA. It's a "not for everyone" type game. Either you'll love it or you'll hate it. Personally, I loved it. It's not something I'll probably ever return to, but it's the type of media I instead will enjoy to remember. I feel it's best suited for a one-time experience, since it is essentially a "story first, gameplay after" type game. INDIKA is not a religious game, but it is kinda a religious game. If that makes sense. Essentially, it's a postmodern experience about faith, free will, good and evil. It doesn't inherently discuss or delve into or about any directly religious themes, but instead uses its characters to create an unique perspective in regards to religious faith; and how that skews their view on deeper topics. It gives you an opportunity for you to ponder by yourself afterwards. I quite enjoyed the dynamic between the do-gooder underdog nun and her struggles with the taunting but not ill-meant philosophical devil within. The game will surprise you, it will intentionally annoy you, and I enjoyed every bit of it. There are sections where you're basically suddenly playing a whole other game. It presents you a cool idea, and then never or barely ever brings it up again. I thought that was really cool, kept me engaged and excited to see what's next. Though, is most of the time a ' walking and talking '-type TLOU game.

If Nietzsche had been born nowadays, became a game dev and his buddies were Monty Python bunch, this would be the outcome.
