90/10

INDIKA grounds intrigue with its arthouse cinematic flair and satire. It engages curiosity and entertainment. Its world is shrouded in emptiness and questions that mirror Indika’s internal struggles.

8.5/10

Indika combines strong themes with fantastic visual and thoughtful delivery, creating something wholly unique and worthwhile. None of the game's hiccups stand in the way of what makes Indika special.

Bleak realism meets absurdist fairytale in a stylish, surreal, and astonishingly surefooted - if mechanically unadventurous - exploration of faith, free will, and demonic temptation.

8/10

Indika is one of the most surreal games we've ever played. And while it's short, it's easy for us to recommend thanks to its dark and unpredictable story and thoughtful, engaging puzzles.

8/10

Despite the flawed gameplay, Indika is still a must-play. Or, since it’s more than just a game, is it a “must-experience”? And when the game is finally patched out, you’re up for an unforgettable cultural roller-coaster.

8/10

Indika is a game of wild contradiction. It's compelling, thoughtful, and ambitious, but also tedious, rote, and derivative. It's the sort of video game that ruminates on the nature of devout faith, free will, guilt, shame, temptation, and morality, and then asks you to solve boring box puzzles. It's the sort of video game that asks you to solve boring box puzzles and then leaves you earnestly wond...

This adventure-horror starring a Russian Orthodox nun takes a lot of risks, and mostly sticks the landing.

Indika is a very strange beast, but its rote gameplay often fails to match the weird and wonderful qualities of its story.

7/10

While INDIKA is otherwise a unique, compelling and well-designed narrative puzzle game, its abrupt ending left a sour taste in my mouth. This tale of a nun's journey of self discovery is memorable for all the wrong reasons.

INDIKA is a great story-driven walking simulator that has a bit of trouble running on the Steam Deck, but it is playable!

6/10

Indika is a creative, thoughtful narrative game with puzzle and platforming elements. However, it's not a title for the average gamer.
