Call me solipsistic, but I'm still not convinced Indika isn't a game someone made specifically for me. The tale of an Orthodox nun on a journey to the centre of the spirit through an alternate 19th-century Russia, it pulls on everything from Mikhail Bulgakov to 8-bit arcade games to create something that felt entirely singular when I tried its demo earlier this year. Now we know when the full thing is due, courtesy of the Future Games Show Spring Showcase.
Indika is set to release on May 8 this year on Steam, GOG, and Epic, and honestly I can't wait. The game quickly became my most-anticipated release of 2024 after I tried out the demo, and got me sufficiently excited to make a TikTok. Do you know how into a thing I have to be to go TikTok about it? I didn't even think it was possible.
