Indika Reviews
Indika is a thoroughly compelling work that succeeds in throwing out the narrative adventure game rulebook and building on processes from all forms of art to create something wholly unique. It's a brisk, bold, frequently dark, sharply critical and deeply weird thing that deserves to be played by anyone with the stomach.
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.
A great one day player for the busy gamer. A story that is captivating and enthralling with a unique ending.
INDIKA is a walking simulator with a thought-provoking story about faith, personal beliefs and strong criticism toward orthodox Church and the Russian regime.

Indika was like a four-and-a-half hour long movie that heavily relies on the voice actors and its characters to tell a remarkable tale.
The nun's journey to self-discovery offers an interesting experience, but it is not for everyone. But the developers have done their job honestly. Walking simulator with puzzles has an immersive atmosphere thanks to the plot.

if I wanted to describe Indika with a single word, it would be disappointing. from story to characters and visuals, Indika is one of the most disappointing games in recent years.

Indika tells a unique story about the fear and horror of 19th century Russia ruled by radical religious, and does its best to push the boundaries of an indie game and reach new heights, although it comes up short here and there, it's still a one of a kind experience that shouldn't be missed.

With dull gameplay, conflicting art styles, stiff dialogue and a weak ending, Indika is a philosophy-infused discussion of religion that's unable to carry its burdens.
It is a short and impressive game that criticises Russian Orthodoxy and its effect on the individual in a very harsh language and draws attention with its visual language.

Imperfect and insufficiently interactive, but an original game with thick atmosphere and interesting topics.

Indika delves into the subjects like faith and explores them from a nun's point of view. the good news is that the game does this almost perfectly and even though there are some missed potentials in gameplay, the story telling and overall experience is definitely worth playing.

Indika is a creative, thoughtful narrative game with puzzle and platforming elements. However, it's not a title for the average gamer.
Indika is one of the most surreal games we've ever played. And while it's short, it's easy for us to recommended thanks to its dark and unpredictable story and thoughtful, engaging puzzles.
After just under four hours, INDIKA has left me with more questions than answers. The very unorthodox walking sim from Odd Meter is one that we could easily place in the same category as Death Stranding, where some will want to figure out where the haziness leads, while others won't even bother. The game will especially appeal to an audience that encourages a 'free spirit' and will likely cause aversion among more devout Christians—that much is certain. Although the conclusion of this surreal experience left me somewhat disappointed, a voice in my head also tells me that Odd Meter is trying to convey something here. Hopefully, it's not the devil playing tricks.

A short, yet meaningful experience, Indika deals with the sensitive issue of religion in a highly engaging manner.

Indika is well worth your time, especially if you have a rather complex or—dare I say it—messy relationship with organized religion. Its approach to theology and philosophy doesn’t break new ground but does present these questions within the evolving interactive media of video games. I hope this isn’t the last that we see of the character, her world, or her devil. Even if it is, the game’s final moments will stick with me—haunting the corners of my imagination—for some time.
You play as a young nun, Indika, who appears like a normal young girl from the outside but is in a constant battle with demons in her head that continue to grow stronger over time as she delves further into catholicism. In this third-person perspective adventure, the world pulses with life as NPCs engage in their own conversations offering glimpses of wisdom and experience.
Odd Meter’s debut game is an odd one, it will either strongly resonate with you, or you will strongly dislike it. It’s a game about compassion, hate, understanding yourself and other and amongst all things, not judging at first glance. Taking these aspects into reality is the hard part.

If you like games focused on narrative and good puzzles, INDIKA is a great option. There are few games that manage to remain in our thoughts even after the credits roll and this is certainly one that will remain with those who venture into this strange world.
