INDIKA

Is creepy, there's just no way around it. There's something transparently sinister in trying to deconstruct and remove the purity of anyone, especially women you don't even know because they wear habits, or hijabs. "heh actually I'm walking with the Devil and he's cool 😎" would have been fresh 70 years ago. Jim Sterling would give this a 10/10. It's probably a good walking simulator for people like him who already know they hate nuns, but it's just not a serious game for anyone interested in religion or even storytelling that isn't tired Beyond Belief.

Co-playing and drinking and we lived for the nun roleplaying until we got to the bucket section and filled it up. We were very dissapointed and sad that we had JUST enough for one bucket with the well bucket, here we returned while talking about this obvious flaw; the flaw being that we as a nun dint have to raise another bucket of water to fill out bucket, BUT then the game developers has thought about such a flaw and made us walk to think about and then get surprised that we actually had to run more. This might seem annoying, but the timing of it all and set up while we were drinking, made this game a gem and we both had a great time. The only thing we are mildly sad about is that theres no designated pray button. It is to forgive because this is the will of the lord probably.

Religion, philosophy, the devil giving hugs! Oh my! If you want a narrative driven game with a little puzzling, a little platforming, and horrifically uplifting/depressing atmosphere - look no further. The prose outweighs the jankiness of some areas which gives it some charm in my eyes. Have faith this will give you a couple of hours of thoughtprovoking fun, until it's dashed away with heavy subject matter and a conclusive, definitive end? You'll find yourself asking: Was it all 'point'-less?

Very good, nuanced writing, powerful juxtaposition of irony and humour with drama, action and some philosophical themes. Gameplay primarily serves the narrative and doesn't otherwise get in the way. Highly recommend!

Indika is a unique Experience. The Gameplay is a little clunky, but i love the Topic about good and evil.
