Indika

Indika is an adventure game with slight arcade elements. Inspired by the works of Mikhail Bulgakov and Fyodor Dostoyevski, the game was developed by an independent studio Odd Meter. The team used to operate in Moscow, but after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they moved to Kazakhstan, to the city of Almaty. The game was published by the Polish company 11 bit studios. It's worth noting part of the income from sales was donated to help children affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Plot

Indika is set in an alternate 19th century Russia, where religious visions intertwine with reality. The protagonist is the titular Indika, a young nun who leaves her monastery for a journey of self-discovery.

Despite the premise, the story has a tragicomedic tone.
