Indika Reviews
In conclusion, Indika is a simple but well-made game with a good storyline that engages you and a pleasant game system.Sure, it doesn't excel in graphics or music but the dichotomy of new/old used for the main storyline and flashbacks is intriguing. Let's not be fooled though, the game is just fine as it is.

Indika is a short but powerful experience full of symbolism and philosophical quest(ion)s without being overexhaustive.
INDIKA is a successful, story-driven arthouse game that kept us enthralled until the very end. Even though the game leaves many questions unanswered, you should take a look at the title, because you won't get this gaming experience again in a hurry. INDIKA takes a good approach and shows that arthouse games can also have something in the box.

During my roughly 5 hours with Indika, I constantly wondered where Odd Meter was heading, given its sudden shifts in progression. Despite occasionally unclear situations, the overall result was very enjoyable, thanks to a story filled with contrasts and struggles. While the mix isn't always perfect due to some technical stumbles, it's a less predictable narrative adventure worth experiencing.

It's hard for me to rate Indika. Let me go further — despite my assessment of this game, I believe everyone interested should play it themselves (even if they have doubts) and form their own opinion about it. It's not an outstanding title, not even good as a game. Indika is just okay, but it offers a unique story that's worth spending a few hours of your life on. If you're still thinking if it's worth to play it, you'll resolve this dilemma only by giving Indika a chance.

Short in duration but solidly paced and with a unique style, Indika will leave those in search of an original tale in the panorama of narrative adventures satisfied. However, it fails to fully realise the ambitions of a work that could have given more in the way of entertainment.

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.

What is a dog without a body? What is man without love? What is God without faith? And what is a video game without choices? These are some of the questions that keep us awake at night after playing Indika.

While it presents the rather universal theme of religious dilemmas, 'Indika' showcases refined direction through its unique techniques and game-specific features. Although the game isn't packed with playable content, the developer's intention to provoke thought is successfully achieved.

Indika's creativity and vision craft an unforgettable wonderfully weird psychological journey through faith that will stick with you for quite a while.
INDIKA is a beautifully crafted story-driven adventure that is definitely not a game for everyone. While it is a short game to play through, there are times when the darker themes are highly prevalent and overwhelming and times when the game seems a little too quiet.
INDIKA is a fantastic experience. It is, ultimately, a walking sim, however there is a great deal you can do to interact with the world around you. The story is a lot of fun, and the personal story poking through is a very interesting one. The ending is simple, some have described it as underwhelming, although I found it a fitting end to a great story.
Indika is a strange journey, with a plethora of complex and important social themes for the player to think of. Even though the gameplay feels repetitive, the unique experience surely makes up for it.

Despite its shortcomings and not fully realizing its potential, this short but memorable experience from Odd Meter Studios, set in the unique setting of 19th-century Russia, is recommended for fans of narrative-driven games. The game's strongest aspect is its art direction, with a cohesive artistic vision evident in everything from the cutscene cinematography to the music and promotional posters. This promising direction makes us eager to see what the creators will bring in the future.

Indika attempts a lot with its short runtime, and it succeeds in many ways but falters in some. I have nothing but respect for the story it is telling and even enjoyed most of my time with it. Great characters and voice acting elevate an already memorable story, but sadly, it doesn't always hit the mark, and technical issues can bring it down a bit. It's still quite the experience, and I look forward to what the developer does next.
