Indika (video game)

Indika is a 2024 third-person adventure game developed by Odd-Meter and published by 11 bit studios.

The game emphasizes on this story-telling device and the conflict between the church's perspectives and lifestyle and her own doubts and religious beliefs.

The game requires players to navigate various obstacles, do platforming sequences, solve puzzles, obtain collectibles while traversing across surreal landscapes and interacting with strange people during this journey.

After a vision causes her to knock a priest over during the Eucharist, Indika is given the job of leaving the convent to deliver a letter to Father Herman in the Danilov monastery.

She accidentally alerts the man to her presence, who goes for her next, but he's stopped by Ilya, the prisoner the guard is searching for.

Ilya then forces Indika at gunpoint to drive a motorized bike to help him escape the soldiers looking for him.

During the trip, the Devil convinces Indika to open the letter she needs to deliver to find out what it contains and discovers that she is being defrocked.

Arriving at a fish factory, Ilya asks Indika to help him retrieve some personal items before they go to the Temple.

Wandering into town, she finds Ilya, who reveals he sold the Kudets at a pawn shop for five rubles and a trumpet.

Per Odd-Meter game director Dmitry Svetlow: "After February 24, things were complicated even further as staying in Russia became physically scary".
