Evaluation

INDIKA launched on May 2, 2024 as a narrative-driven, story-complete adventure game. The two DLC items listed — the Original Soundtrack and Artbook — both released alongside the base game on launch day, functioning as companion content rather than gameplay expansions. Following launch, the developer shipped a hotfix on May 7, 2024 and added Steam Deck Verification on June 11, 2024, with the latter post noting that "more updates are coming soon." The most significant post-launch addition was a Photo Mode, released on October 21, 2024 — a quality-of-life feature rather than a content expansion. The developer's most recent communication was an award announcement on September 29, 2025, celebrating a Game Designer Prize win at Tokyo Game Show. No roadmap, DLC, sequel, or expansion has ever been announced. The June 2024 post's mention of "more updates coming soon" was plausibly fulfilled by the October 2024 Photo Mode update. All signs point to INDIKA being a self-contained, complete narrative experience that has received polish updates but no planned content beyond its launch package.

MEET A NOT-SO-ORDINARY NUN

INDIKA is a third-person, story-driven game set in a strange world where religious visions clash with harsh reality. It tells the story of a young nun who sets off on a journey of self-discovery with the most unusual, horn-headed companion by her side.

On the outside, Indika seems to be a typical nun attempting to adjust to a difficult and monotonous monastery life. Humble and innocent in her appearance, do not be deceived as this young girl has also made a highly unlikely acquaintance—as she speaks with the devil himself.

Indika’s unusual connection with the Evil One leads her on an errand beyond the safe walls of the monastery. The world she discovers can only be described as a wild combination of comedy and tragedy straight out of the novels by Dostoyevski and Bulhakov.

ENJOY AN INDIE GAME WHERE EVERYTHING GOES

The subjects of religion and authority are prevalent throughout Indika’s journey and she’ll be faced with many questions along the way. Guide her to find the answers one by one before she can finish her life-defining odyssey.

Odd Meter is a small, independent studio formerly based in Moscow and now operating out of Kazakhstan. Its members put aesthetics at the forefront and aren’t afraid to tread the fine line of ethical norms. Their game is a great testament to that, as INDIKA constitutes an open challenge to the industry's established approach to creating video games.
