Blood and Gore, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Violence
This is a story-driven puzzle-adventure game in which players assume the role of a nun on a journey of self-discovery. From a third-person perspective, players explore locations in an alternative Russia, interact with characters (including a devil companion), and solve environmental puzzles. Some sequences require players to avoid pursuing enemies (e.g., soldiers, dogs); chase sequences can result in brief, violent cutscenes if players are caught. Cutscenes can depict additional acts of violence and/or blood/gore: a character impaled, vomiting blood; several characters shot; a character carrying around his severed arm. In one pixelated mini-game, a character is depicted blown in half, with accompanying blood-splatter effects. The game contains some sexual material in cutscenes (e.g., implied sexual intercourse occurring in another room) and in the dialogue (e.g., “Grab her t*ts”; “A rapist is better than a murderer”; “Even sodomy is possible”; “...spend the money on sh*tty wine and who

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.

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.
