In Indika, players assume the role of the titular nun, Indika, embarking on a mind-bending journey to explore the duality of good and evil and the understanding that nothing is absolute.
A young nun, full of doubts and seditious thoughts, is expelled from the monastery, accused of obsession. She goes to the city, watching as a terrible shaggy creature walks on her heels. And then there's Ilyia. He is steeped in sin, yet he claims that God has spoken to him. But most importantly, what about the other devilish presence always lurking behind Indika’s shoulder, threatening her with grief and itching her head with difficult, thought-provoking questions that are better left unanswered?
At its core, Indika is a third-person perspective adventure game, blending exploration with environmental puzzles and a touch of platforming. However, steeped in themes of sin, sorrow, and moral dilemmas, Indika transcends traditional gaming, resembling an art-house film that challenges societal norms rather than offering simple amusement.
Can fervent prayers truly help her to escape this madness?
In spring 2024, 11 bit studios and developer Odd Meter launched what would become a widely discussed title about a simple nun and her bizarre spiritual journey to uncover her true purpose, and now the adventure will be launching on Nintendo Switch on November 17th.
Key Features:
- The game is set in alternative Russia of the 19th century. Gloomy and sinister, at the same time enchanting world.
- Gameplay focuses on the story unusual for the genre. The tedious and confusing "Russian-style" tale, presented in an unexpected arthouse style.
- Controlling two characters, you go on a difficult journey, solving either puzzles or psychological problems of the heroes.
Currently available for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam / GOG / Epic Games), Indika is coming to Nintendo Switch on November 17, 2025.
