INDIKA

Playing INDIKA felt a bit like watching a critically acclaimed movie and feeling strangely guilty because you’re sitting there thinking, “Yeah, this is good… but am I missing something?” There is definitely something here. INDIKA has ideas, personality and a subject games rarely touch this directly. Its questions around religion, belief, doubt and morality are genuinely interesting, and there were moments where I found myself thinking about what the characters were saying rather than waiting for the next bit of gameplay. The problem is that almost every time it seems ready to dig deeper, it stops. It scratches the surface of several ideas without ever really tearing into them. I connected with Indika at points, but I found Ilya more interesting. Some of his questioning and skepticism simply made more sense to me, even when I didn't agree with everything he did or believed. Their dynamic works well, but again, I wanted more from it. More discussion, more disagreement, more time spent exploring the ideas the game clearly wants us to think about. The voice accompanying Indika was my favorite part. There is something almost Stanley Parable-like about the way it comments on what is happening, and I really enjoyed the contrast it creates. I actually wish it had been used more. Whenever it appeared, the game suddenly had more personality. Mechanically, INDIKA is extremely simple. Exploration is mostly linear, puzzles are straightforward, and nothing really stood out as particularly clever or memorable. That isn't necessarily a problem because this is clearly a story-first game, but it does mean the gameplay rarely contributes much beyond moving you toward the next scene. The pixel-art sequences were the major exception, unfortunately in the wrong direction. I understand the stylistic idea behind them, but they added very little for me and were easily the weakest sections. Visually and aurally, the game is good across the board. The environments, performances and sound design all work, but nothing really crossed into exceptional territory for me. TL;DR: INDIKA is a short, unusual and thought-provoking experience with interesting themes, strong character interactions and a memorable narrative voice. Its biggest problem is that nearly every idea feels like the beginning of a deeper conversation that never quite happens, while the simple gameplay and weak pixel-art sections don't add much. 6/10.

优化不行，只能60帧，在最低画质720p的条件下还是只有70-90不能稳120。但手柄体验其实还不错，游戏很独特。

信则有不信则无

La mia è stata un'esperienza eccezionale. Se ti piacciono i videogiochi la cui forza motrice è la storia che viene raccontata, allora questo è un ottimo gioco. Dal punto di vista del design, ho trovato interessante l'alternanza pixel-realismo e alcune scelte tecniche che hanno l'obiettivo di trasmettere un messaggio. In unltima istanza: Indika apre uno scorcio su una realtà molto cruda. Un piccolo caveat da tenere a mente per chi, per tanti motivi, non se la sente di avvicinarsi a certi temi. Per me, esperienza validissima.

信或者不信，你都是你自己。

This... This game caught my eye a while ago and after some time I bought it on discount which would also be my advice for anybody else who is planning to get a game; get it, just I am not sure if for full price due to shortness of it. This game is for sure something else and I would like if its longer, but everything what it is in it works and looks pretty good, Worth of money and experience for something new

Such a beautiful philosophic piece of video game media. Explores questions about religion and things being fair/unfair.

Très absurde et original! J'aime beaucoup
