“Do you have a complicated relationship with religion? Do you have big feelings about the expect roles women play in society? What about giant fish? Then this game is for you. It's beautiful, thought provoking, and…”
“This game is absolutely good. It covers Religion, Philosophy, Morality and Faith. Indika is a nun who was scorned and thrown out of the convent(showing apathy by the other nuns), throughout the story she is questioned…”
“4/10 The trailers for the game lead you to believe that there is more of a psychological twist to it, but in the end was more of a theological essay than an actual game. Narrative is weak, puzzles are simplistic, and in…”

“This game is a work of psychological art, and I loved every moment of it, even when I didn't.”
“Super weird game, but [b]if you're looking for something different and refreshing[/b], you definitely need to play this game!”
“Basically, nothing special. A real shame that is, bc i was really hyped to play it. I'm giving it a positive review only because of the visuals and voice acting. Otherwise, the game is very short, with weak puzzles and…”

“A 4-hour, cinematic, walking sim broken up by short puzzle segments. Be warned there are some graphic and confronting moments some may be sensitive to. The voice acting is excellent, and has some thought-provoking and…”
“It's kinda like playing an a24 movie about a nun's faith. Gameplay-wise kinda walking sim with light puzzles, and minimal exploration, with some interesting pixel art sections, a fun way the game does flashbacks. Pretty…”
“I wasn't exactly expecting a surrealist interrogation of religiosity when I started INDIKA, but, that's pretty much exactly what I got. I think going in knowing next to nothing (what I said before doesn't give anything…”

“Indika is a great, albeit short, story driven puzzle game and walking sim with heavy dark psychedelic elements. You play as Indika, an Eastern Orthodox nun in turn of the century Russia. She is despised by her fellow…”

“THE BAD The level design is god awful. Whoever created these puzzles let me tell you something: it should be clear what the goal of the puzzle is. Prepare to spend most of your time going "but what do you even want me…”

“A bit jank to be honest. It was odd/surreal and interesting at points but I'm glad I only spent about 8 bucks for this. The storytelling wasn't exactly great and while I get the overall arching narrative, it wasn't…”

“cool unique game, i want to be able to finish it but puzzling in the area with voices in her head playing on loop made me have to put this game on hold for a little bit, this is just a skill issue on my part though.”
“I don't usually write reviews for games I don't enjoy, but playing this game was a thoroughly miserable experience for me :( I really wanted to like it for its surreal imagery and dark themes, but found the gameplay (if…”
“Interesting gameplay! I love the mechanics - very Resident Evil and like games. I did get lost a few times during the puzzles but overall amazing story and great gameplay. Could finish in a few hours.”

— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Not cozy at all… but in a weirdly beautiful way. This game feels like a fever dream, like you’re walking inside someone’s thoughts and nothing is fully stable. It’s more about the feeling than the gameplay, and the story just stays with you. You play as a nun, but everything…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“Small talk, Russian style. Walk. Pray. Doubt. Devil talks, you answer. Maybe mistake. Maybe not? Who knows. God busy. Atmosphere? 12/10 Depression? Authentic! Philosophy? Free. (It's a really nice game, good entertainment, I would absolutely recommend!)”
