Definitely one of the strangest and most unique games I've played. Sometimes great, sometimes okay, but overall just a great play. Check if out if you ever get a chance!
I am going to put this link under your comment, for anyone wondering why the creators of the game chose this specific themes of the game - this video explains it quite thoroughly: ruclips.net/video/85Rzmt5L39w/видео.htmlfeature=shared
I have no idea why this dude got lots of subscribers; his gameplay got lots of edits as a simple toddler game. Stop uploading gameplay if there are lots of edits. Are you kidding me?
Its a bad game, with a crappy story, great, a dissolution of purpose, now, what is she supposed to use to narrate her life? Liberalism? Marxism? Islam? No one can live without a narrative, the developers think they are smart with such a narrative because they can merely criticize but it is different when they are asked to reconstitute
@@johnisaacfelipe6357 You seem to be angry because the theme of the game was anti-religionistic ? To be honest I understand why the creator of the game decied to choose such theme - in Russia the orthodox church serves not only as a hope for people that are lost in life, but unfortunately it also has political power - and it influences daily lives of people for the worse, dictating them what they can or cannot do. It is not medieval times anymore to force people according to dogmas. In Russia the organised orthodox faith is being used as a tool to keep the people in fear and obedience, people are being brainwashed there. Not only w I assume that is what the creator of the game was aiming at, he does not have any issues with personal faith - his issue is with organised faith that grabs the political power. Faith should be voluntary, not mandatory and shouldn't in even smallest aspect influence regular lives of people that do not want to be influenced by it. I even think the creator of the game said he has no issues with faith on personal level whatsoever, only with organised faith that stretches its claws into politics.
@@lukaskubinec9608 Ofcourse the church is a political body, religion isn't something you keep in the closet of your house, its supposed to envelope the entire society. It is a civilizational force, if that is the reason why this game company derided religion is because of that? then ask him, what kind of society he would like instead? what sort of narrative should people engage in to live their lives? because if I hear the same liberal bs that is causing entire nations of people to deracinate and suicide themselves into oblivion, then all I can say is that the author is a useful idiot.
16:49 I grew up roman catholic not eastern orthodox and while we had the tiny people come out of our mouths there was no exciting drum and bass music when they appeared, only normal church music. I feel cheated.
@Umanflyumanfly oh dear, please don't stop taking your medication . Delusions sometimes cause hallucinations. Schizophrenia is a very real mental illness .
@@Umanflyumanfly that doesn't have anything to do with Catholicism as far as I'm aware. where you keep your glowing orbs is probably your own business.
bro really went through the game with massive horse blinders on. at multiple occasions i thought smth like: „WAS THAT A FUCKING 50m LONG FISH??“ and he just casually kept on going
Lol, for any Russian it's obvious that it's not a hijab she's wearing. Its' pretty classic Russian Orthodox nun clothes. I watched this game twice, and here's what I think: The demon who was talking to her is her rational part, her common sense. She's daughter of an engineer so she has very practical mind. She was trying to get used to life in a monastery and be faithful, but never succeeded. She was trying to accept her fate, but failed and saw her practical part as a demon, doubting everything she knows about faith and rituals. She's sensitive and easily impressed, and trauma ripened from the situation with Mirko. As she is sensitive and easily impressed, trauma developed into hallucinations. Hallucinations show her inner conflict. This is one of the ways in which schizophrenia develops. Ilya had hallucinations about God due to sepsis, so when she cut his rotten arm with the machine, he told her "Now God stopped talking to me". But they almost reached Kudets, so he continued his journey. In her red scene in the end she accepts the duality of religion: the God exists only if the Devil exists either. So if she finally loses faith, it will free her from the demon inside her. She opened the Kudets and saw it's hollow. This shows that instead of faith she found emptiness. She lost her faith completely, the God disappeared, and in that moment she saw herself as a woman, because the Devil also left her. Demon is gone because she accepted herself and her rational mind. Also it's interesting that when she pushed the cabinet towards her rapist, she also was dissociative. She couldn't accept her angry part that fought for her. So everything sensible and rational was diabolic for her. The author of the game was raised in Russian Orthodox church tradition and then became 100% atheist when grew up. The game reflects his personal story. Despite the game's loneliness and gloomy tone, the end of the game is the happy one, as it brought liberation to Indika. She healed from her mental illness. In the end she turns from the dark part of the store and sees the light. ---------- INDIKA is very unusual experience. Video games have become a new art form. The INDIKA experience reminds me of Death Stranding. Vive les indi games ----------- Thanks for listening to my TED TALK, lol
I would like to know what your take is on the XP point. Do you think that it signifies faith? Seems to be so since it drains when she starts rationilizing religions. But then why does shaking the Kudets afterward give her faith?
@@half.blight I think it points out that formal actions and gestures don't add any value. You kiss icons, light candles and collect religious artifacts, but it's purely formal, mechanical deeds. They bring no actual sense, but many shallow religious people count these actions as achievements and expect special attitude towards them from the God. Just like when we collect coins in arcade games, but in this context they're useless. So before Indika managed to return to herself, she needed to get rid of this useless coins first. So she shook Kudets.
This game was an absolute fever dream in all the right ways. The set pieces alone were amazing. The gameplay elements were somewhat mediocre in some places but damn do we need more bonkers games like these.
Fever dream is right. Although .... weird for sake of weird isn't appealing to me. As much as I like strange, I like my strange to have sufficient connecting tissue that I can see the logic and here ... I'm just left with questions.
@@DanielVerberne I think the confusing world that doesn't seem to make sense is as much a thematic element as it is "rule of cool", somewhat underlining the game's message. Which is the (rightfully) scathing criticism of the Orthodox Church in Russia and it's role in current propaganda and in creating the hostile, misery-addled culture they live in.
Somewhat mediocre? It's pressing buttons, nothing that requires any skill, brainpower or reactions. It's an incredibly dull walking simulator that tries to make up for a complete lack of gameplay or beauty by being kooky and weird. One of the worst games I've played this year.
@@RuSosan I just dont exactly get the point of the devil or creature with her: the point of the game is showing that god doesnt exists or he doesnt care about humans. So, why would the devil exists? Or its only her fear, her doubts?
@@ABegot There's a few possible interpretations but the main ones I've heard are: 1. It's indeed Indika's inner doubts, logic etc. projected as a "devil" because of the conflict of logic vs. religious dogma. 2. It's a mental illness from Indika's perspective. This is unlikely IMO because things like schizophrenia wouldn't just stop upon that revelation.
Im loving this game! A lot of her thoughts and theories remind me of my own thoughts growing up ultra christian and realizing the more i thought about it the more it didnt make sense to me. Especially the bit about whether you can genuinely love something if it gives you the ultimatum "love me or eternal damnation"
I was not very religious, my family believes but isn't so religious either, yet i started to give it thought, and it didn't makes sense to me either, the first thing i started to stop believing was the existence of hell as we depict it. I'm currently atheist agnostic.
Sort of reminds me of "Among the Sleep", "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice", and a bit of "Final Fantasy 7". You know what?! F#%$ it. I actually liked that game. The main character I feel for a lot. I can understand mostly all she was going through. The story was good, animation, design, voice performances, etc. It's a good game. Just kinda depressing is all 😅
I think it is just supposed to mean that she lost hope and understands that god doesnt exist, that faith wont absolve her sins and that the world is unjust and cruel
Actually it is extremely smart. Long story short, since Indika was in the monastery she kept fighting with the devil (all those illusion, all those thoughts, the voice in her head). And right at the end, you see that she still have a drop of faith in God, and she tries to pray, and kiss the kudets and she see herself in the mirror as a demon. But in the moment she is doubting about God since no miracle that she wanted to happened on this entire journey happened, she looks inside the kudets, see it empty, and from then she lost her faith in God. And this is the moment when she see herself as a human in the mirror, because the demon left her alone since he accomplished his goal. This is a extremely accurate story with incredible details. This game is a masterpiece in my opinion.
Glad I wasn't the ONLY one who had a problem with that first "Ferry" puzzle. Took me a while to figure that out! If you fall in the water 5 times, you get a Special "achievement" Award! 😁
"TORTURING themselves and others with these God questions". Interesting choice of words there. Why are these questions so torturous to many? I believe that's the idea this game is attempting explore - yours truly, not god, not satan.
Come on, dont generalise. We are not all "torturing" us or others when we seek or acknowledge the creational consciousness we call God...and not everything has or can be solved. Spiritual things can be experienced and not only believed in btw. I wont force anything on anyone...cause thats not possibile anyway. Faith comes from within. But some things...we can just observe what happens when people fall to deeply into nihilism, hedonism, materialism etc. ..it just proves alot in religion right (in my opinion and observation). The lack of spirituality in society can have bad effects just like radical fundamentalists. People who think humans are soulless piles of cells whos life has no meaning, value or purpose, are also very quick to do evil, cause they think there is no consequence to their action outside of worldly law. Many people who denied God wanted themselves to be worshipped instead...Hitler, Stalin, Mao, the North Korean leaders...and to them life was disposable just like atheism makes it look like. Religion and spirituality has to be abused and twisted first to be used for evil.
@@antondb7934idk probably because these ppl think that if they place people under submission and eradicate a certain group that they will even get a chance at paradise because the concept of death is so foreign to them that it’s scary.
What? So the bible was not designed to be analyzed? We are not supposed to apply critical thinking to a BOOK? Yes, a book, the probability of it being written by a very intelligent and creative individual, an individual with great wisdom. We're just supposed to believe in a god? We all seek enlightenment, we all seek to be at peace with our beliefs. We can be open to certain methods of thought, we're all different, you must be reasonable.
I think most (younger) people these days need a story that takes them by the hand and explains every step and action in a way that a 5 year old could understand it. This game does not do that, hell I guess the devil's dialogue is probably too long and intricate for most
@@AccAkut1987 lol true, might also be that. Such a shame, cuz such games are gifts that keep on giving, and yet they go underappreciated for being "esoteric"
@@TheGIRLIoanathe game is trash because it is disrespectful to Christianity. So it’s okay to bash people’s beliefs but as soon as someone disrespects yours then it’s not okay?
@@moisesrodriguez3685 @moisesrodriguez3685 You belief is objectively harmful, of course I will bash it because I wish you could see that religion (all of them, actually) is a bunch of stories and fabrications made by people to manipulate masses and therefore, you guys are hurting yourselves by being blind to that, and it's just miserable and sad to witness. To think that there's an overpowered supernatural being who will send you to hell if you misstep, is much more intimidating than a bunch of people in power telling you the exact same thing. Not realizing that religion is a scam made to control people is one of the biggest factors that keep this society from evolving - dumb, brain washed people are easier to control than smart, free-thinking ones, after all. Back to our conversation, I repeat, yes, I will be triggered when the belief that Christianity , and religion in general, is bad, is contested, because people who believe in religion OBJECTIVELY drag this society down. This is not about me, it never was, this is about us, as a whole. I wish you could understand, but I know how strong the brainwash's hold can be, so it's like talking to a brick wall. Whatever, I am just happy that I tried to make a change in one lost sheep.
She "accepted" her demons and more of who she was metaphorically "the voice" and got the artifact and saw there was nothing in it. So she realised that her faith isn't real and she could be who she is. I think that's my 2 cents, anyone can correct me if I'm wrong
@@JarlBalgruff_ Agreed! I'd only add this: In this life, we are guided by two things: Who we are ("the Devil") and what we value ("God"). We walk forward on impulse and instinct, we change course on choice and decisions. Illia was a prisoner who valued his faith and his skills as a guitarist, only to later abandon both when he didn't get EXACTLY what he wanted. Indika was a Mechanic's daughter acting as a Nun. Her pixelated yellow thingies could be seen as "faith" or at least "what she values". She lost all of them when having to lower herself for freedom, floating aimlessly in the red void as she was literally losing her religion, only to finally get it back through a seemingly infinite source, but that source was empty, showing that it's power was only ever in how she valued it.
@@JarlBalgruff_ I agree, especially with the shaking of the kudyets and the "points," which of course led her to open in and see a turth, that it was hollow. Her faith was hollow, and since that faith was built on nothing, the inversion and the "demonic questioning" came out of that. She freed herself from the illusion that it (religion, faith, philosophy, or at least the type she thought she "understood") was real yet that she didn't deserve it. The coversations with "the devil" was something she was initially fightened and fearful of. To me this comes across as not accepting her subconscious and instead "demonizing" it. Was she lost following the devil? Or was she lost from the start with trying to be a nun and follow that fake faith (fake to her on a deep level, as though she knows it's not *her* answer)? I think the little pixel art scenes acting as memory vignettes showed pieces of herself she had either forgotten or stored away. The journey with Ilya was a personal psychological attempt to "plead forgiveness," at first an outside "god" and later she realizes, for herself. I think the ending seeing that Ilya had only returned to being drunk and lost (as he was long before his arrest) also showed that although this journey had no "real meaning" or "real miracles" (at least in the sense of an arm reattaching or whatever), the real miracle was that she was truly able to forgive herself and integrate conscious & subconscious (as seen in the devil disappearing after she realizes the kudyets, a static symbol of an outside faith, was hollow) I guess one could argue that while Indika succeeded in her personality integration, Ilya did not. Indika did have faith in herself to change her circumstances, at every point as we see in the game. Whereas Ilya remained blinded by a faith that seemed more real to him (his "god voice"), it was only because he himself had none. Indika is freed of "her demon," yet we blatantly see Ilya returning to his, disregarding their entire adventure and possible meaning for a drink and a silly trumpet. He didn't even acknowledge that Indika had escaped, he knew she was captured! In general I feel that this shows he's given up on self reflection. He didn't *really* want to change, he just wanted some outside force to tell him it was alright, that he was absolved (the kissing-the-kudyets scene) Fascinating game to reflect on. I think these types of stories almost have to be played out in such a slow sense. In this case: One, to show via player-puppetry of Indika that she has this "will" and choice about her; and two, to allow the player to question and reflect as the long journey trudges on. The snow itself comes across to me as a spiritual void that the player/Indika is traversing, only to find that there is no magic "place" in timespace with miracles: only that timeless acceptance of consciousness, moral agency, responsibility (that can only be granted to oneself along the path) acts as the miracle for the soul Pretty freakin' cool how in one of the ending scenes where they're nearly at the kudyets, Ilya's arm on his back starts moving xD I'll leave the next guy the challenge to interpret that!
I gave up on the platforming section where you have to climb up the roof - those last three steps where you have to time the jumps. Tried about 100 times, shame because I was loving the game. You should be able to skip the section after a certain amount times, I will be 41 soon. The precious little time I have for gaming I don't have the patience for this shit.
@@egthx2661 Yes I would agree they had 'filler' segments in the game. However the story, characters and dialogue was really fascinating. I just can't fathom why they wouldn't allow you to skip those sections.... surely there would be other people in the same boat as me.
In this life, we are guided by two things: Who we are ("the Devil") and what we value ("God"). We walk forward on impulse and instinct, we change course on choice and decisions.

Realizing that "God" wasn't in some fancy metal artifact, neither was "the Devil" in her mind, leaving her alone with only the mechanical sounds of clockwork around her. Something man made, that she understood. It wasn't what she wanted. It was just what she got. Does that seem fair? Is "fair" even a thing? Or do things just happen?
I have a different explanation.. Since the game is clearly inspired from real stories and real experiences, the whole journey and the end of it also has a correspondent to our reality. The amount and the quality of the details are just insanely good and precises. Long story short, since Indika was in the monastery she kept fighting with the devil (all those illusion, all those thoughts, the voice in her head). And right at the end, you see that she still have a drop of faith in God, and she tries to pray, and kiss the kudets and she see herself in the mirror as a demon.

I just dont exactly get the point of the devil or creature with her: the point of the game is showing that god doesnt exists or he doesnt care about humans. So, why would the devil exists? Or its only her fear, her doubts?
I kept waiting for it to get good. I am blown away so many people had sang it's praise. It didn't even feel like a game. Minus well have been a RUclips movie.
Is no one going to talk about the pixelated elephant in the room? I quite liked the main story and setting. Lacked the polish of something like Hellblade but still worth a play. But the Frogger/Pacman stuff? What THE FUDGE was that about???
IS THIS SOME SICK JOKE. I LOOKE LIKE A FOOL IN FRONT OF MY ROOM MATES GARRICK DALE AND IVAN REILLY, AT 17:52 THE VIDEO FROZE AT THE PART I WANTED TO SHOW THEM
1:44:00 this sht is deep yo hahah i think she need to leave God in her equation.. since you got freedom to think: 1. you can do bad thing, 2. you can do good thing. but in religion belief u gonna pay that in afterlife, if u do bad thing, u ll go to hell, good thing? go to heaven and rewarded. "if u want me to do a good thing, just program me to do so, dont give me a freedom" that make you a robot, u only do what u are programmed to do. if u want to be a robot, just force urself to do a good thing. plus its ridiculous to blame it on ur freedom to think, when u did a bad thing.. its purely on you. IF hell and heaven isnt exist, will you still trying to do a good thing? IF void of non existent is the only thing waiting for you after the end, will you still trying to do a good thing? you're the only one know the truth answer, because that answer is what describe you as individual intelligent creature with freedom to think to the point that you're asking "why i have ability to think and choose?"
put God into your thought equation it will be diff topic to talk about. what i can say, if you learn biology, physic, chemistry, astronomy.. our existence is beyond just "coincident", our existence is made with Design, VERY well Design.. something a 3rd party have to do with it.. people call it God. if earth closer to sun *a bit*, we wont exist.. if earth further a bit from the sun, we wont exist.. if earth didnt get hit with asteroid that bring the water, we wont exist.. if earth dont have ozon layer? we wont exist.. if sun bigger a little bit? we wont exist.. if sun smaller a little bit? we wont exist.. all of this need to be a perfectly places, the size of the sun compare to the distance of earth, the heat value.. even if it do, ozon layer (O3) need to exist to protect us.. with water, and organic matter (carbon).. main reason why 100% planet we find are inhabitable. (some speculate as habitable planet purely hypothesis from electron wave coming from it) if we dont have white blood cell (living) that actively fight virus/bacteria, we wont exist.. if that white blood cell sacrifice themself to heal our injury? we wont exist.. we dont even understand how extremely complex the design of brain to make individual have such intelligent.. our body consist billion of LIVING cell that work like a rhythm together for us, heart, liver, lung, kidney.. even 1 cell have complex mechanic.
the developer of this game must have conflict thinking with certain religion, its called belief with a reason. its fine, me too.. i put a lot of thought as well as part of existential crisis lol. im not Christian and im not try to say Christian is true, what i say is someone Design our world, people call it God.. the character in this game questioning her existence..
Thank you I just want to beat this game so I don't have to play it anymore my favorite thing about your video is that the game stutters in all the same places as my game on the most powerful computer in the world this game stutters and sucks LOL
The game was really disappointing. The way it starts grabs the player's attention, suggesting a possible schizophrenia or internal demon of the nun. However, they then simply add a very poorly developed character who has a very slight impact on the protagonist. They don't develop anything further and squander the concept of the nuns. The final reflection on an "inner demon" that we all possess seems poor to me. In addition to poor gameplay, with nonsensical puzzles (the one with the cans that need to be moved is the worst puzzle I've played in any video game), they squandered the mechanic of praying to reset things when they turned red. It was a complete failure and, in my opinion, a governmental scam if they received funds to develop this AAA game.
@@lilovs9952 The team is formed by like 200 ppl, they sure got a goverment investment. I refer to that because of the poor quality output and development of the story
By poorly developed character, do you mean Ilya? It's a short game. I don't really know how much more you'd need from him. I think he's played his part in the game. He's a convict, he's clung to religion in a time of peril, he's on a mission, and due to the recent discovery that you've been exhiled from covenant, you decide to tag along with him. And it also is a parallel to her previous love intrest, the gypsy. A theiving musician with big dreams who you follow because you're young and restless, and it leads you to ruin because of your naivety. She probably did have schizophrenia. It is a traumatic response, and she did go through trauma. The demon probably is a coping mechanism for her to rationalize her skeptical, or sinful tendencies from a religious way, that is, until she loses her religion, and you only have yourself. Why is this poor? I wouldn't say the puzzles were particularly good, but they weren't bad either. Biggest complaint is that it can take a lotta time if you're an idiot like me. And I too wish the praying mechanic stayed, however, it makes sense that she used it less. As the game progressed, she began asking more and more questions, making the effect of prayer in her mind duller. You noticed that overtime, when she signed the cross when you press the prayer button, she gets more and more limp wristed with it until she completely ceases to do it.
Reading the comments on this video is kinda sad tbh. Alot of used to be christians and people who werent taught the proper way and as a result fell out of the faith. Its ok to have questions, as long as you earnestly look for the answer. I always thought the same way "why is this in the bible or why is this like that" the answer is always there but some "christians" dont rely on the bible and instead feel they know it all and try to explain things from a non-biblical standpoint which then contradicts everything. The bible is perfect and explains all the contradictions just people dont read or try to figure out things they dont understand. When it says God repented, well how can God repent? Rather than say well God isnt perfect try to figure out what the context means. Repent means to change a way of thinking. Well if God repented in exodus yet the action he was going to commit still happened then how is it a contradiction. This is just one of the many examples of how its perfect. He was going to smite the israelites for worshipping another god yet he changed his way of thinking and instead sent moses down to do it after he convinced him not to. I hope and pray some of you find your way back.
Actually it is extremely smart. Long story short, since Indika was in the monastery she kept fighting with the devil (all those illusion, all those thoughts, the voice in her head).

I didn’t understand what this game is all about. Looks like an unfinished game. Though the video is good but for the goal-less, meaningless unfinished game, it couldn’t give the life to the movie.
The difference in style signifies the difference between the before (happy childhood) and the after (a nun with a demon). Causing her lover's death broke her. In Indika's mind, there's no connection between these two parts.

Lol, for any Russian it's obvious that it's not a hijab she's wearing. Its' pretty classic Russian Orthodox nun clothes.
I watched this game twice, and here's what I think:
The demon who was talking to her is her rational part, her common sense. She's daughter of an engineer so she has very practical mind. She was trying to get used to life in a monastery and be faithful, but never succeeded. She was trying to accept her fate, but failed and saw her practical part as a demon, doubting everything she knows about faith and rituals. She's sensitive and easily impressed, and trauma ripened from the situation with Mirko. As she is sensitive and easily impressed, trauma developed into hallucinations. Hallucinations show her inner conflict. This is one of the ways in which schizophrenia develops.
Ilya had hallucinations about God due to sepsis, so when she cut his rotten arm with the machine, he told her "Now God stopped talking to me". But they almost reached Kudets, so he continued his journey.
In her red scene in the end she accepts the duality of religion: the God exists only if the Devil exists either. So if she finally loses faith, it will free her from the demon inside her.
She opened the Kudets and saw it's hollow. This shows that instead of faith she found emptiness. She lost her faith completely, the God disappeared, and in that moment she saw herself as a woman, because the Devil also left her. Demon is gone because she accepted herself and her rational mind.
Also it's interesting that when she pushed the cabinet towards her rapist, she also was dissociative. She couldn't accept her angry part that fought for her. So everything sensible and rational was diabolic for her.
The author of the game was raised in Russian Orthodox church tradition and then became 100% atheist when grew up. The game reflects his personal story.
Despite the game's loneliness and gloomy tone, the end of the game is the happy one, as it brought liberation to Indika. She healed from her mental illness. In the end she turns from the dark part of the store and sees the light.

Thanks
for listening to my TED TALK, lol
Thank you for your interpretation.
This is such a great diagnosis.
Spot on.
I would like to know what your take is on the XP point. Do you think that it signifies faith? Seems to be so since it drains when she starts rationilizing religions.
But then why does shaking the Kudets afterward give her faith?
@@half.blight I think it points out that formal actions and gestures don't add any value. You kiss icons, light candles and collect religious artifacts, but it's purely formal, mechanical deeds. They bring no actual sense, but many shallow religious people count these actions as achievements and expect special attitude towards them from the God. Just like when we collect coins in arcade games, but in this context they're useless. So before Indika managed to return to herself, she needed to get rid of this useless coins first. So she shook Kudets.
This game was an absolute fever dream in all the right ways.
The set pieces alone were amazing.
The gameplay elements were somewhat mediocre in some places but damn do we need more bonkers games like these.
Fever dream is right. Although .... weird for sake of weird isn't appealing to me. As much as I like strange, I like my strange to have sufficient connecting tissue that I can see the logic and here ... I'm just left with questions.
@@DanielVerberne
I think the confusing world that doesn't seem to make sense is as much a thematic element as it is "rule of cool", somewhat underlining the game's message.
Which is the (rightfully) scathing criticism of the Orthodox Church in Russia and it's role in current propaganda and in creating the hostile, misery-addled culture they live in.
Somewhat mediocre? It's pressing buttons, nothing that requires any skill, brainpower or reactions. It's an incredibly dull walking simulator that tries to make up for a complete lack of gameplay or beauty by being kooky and weird. One of the worst games I've played this year.
@@RuSosan I just dont exactly get the point of the devil or creature with her: the point of the game is showing that god doesnt exists or he doesnt care about humans. So, why would the devil exists? Or its only her fear, her doubts?
@@ABegot
There's a few possible interpretations but the main ones I've heard are:
1. It's indeed Indika's inner doubts, logic etc. projected as a "devil" because of the conflict of logic vs. religious dogma.
2. It's a mental illness from Indika's perspective. This is unlikely IMO because things like schizophrenia wouldn't just stop upon that revelation.
Im loving this game! A lot of her thoughts and theories remind me of my own thoughts growing up ultra christian and realizing the more i thought about it the more it didnt make sense to me. Especially the bit about whether you can genuinely love something if it gives you the ultimatum "love me or eternal damnation"
I was not very religious, my family believes but isn't so religious either, yet i started to give it thought, and it didn't makes sense to me either, the first thing i started to stop believing was the existence of hell as we depict it. I'm currently atheist agnostic.

This game ends in a weird way
this game is all weird. But I'm only at the elevator. So no spoilers please :)
To be fair it also started in a weird way.
Actually it is extremely smart.
Long story short, since Indika was in the monastery she kept fighting with the devil (all those illusion, all those thoughts, the voice in her head).
And right at the end, you see that she still have a drop of faith in God, and she tries to pray, and kiss the kudets and she see herself in the mirror as a demon. But in the moment she is doubting about God since no miracle that she wanted to happened on this entire journey happened, she looks inside the kudets, see it empty, and from then she lost her faith in God. And this is the moment when she see herself as a human in the mirror, because the demon left her alone since he accomplished his goal.
This is a extremely accurate story with incredible details. This game is a masterpiece in my opinion.
This is not weird
Wow that's deep@@gutanandrei4415
YAY!! I was looking forward to this game :))
is the piece being whispered in 2:13:42 romeo and juliet by Sergei Prokofiev? Such a funky thing to add out of nowhere yet it makes sense
sounds like it to me!
I really liked this ‘game’, but the end made me laugh more than it should… trumpet complaints and all! 😂
The pond frogs is a quality tune 😂
Anyone reckon actress Alicia Vikander could play Indika? There is a resemblance, I feel.
70% of this game is the best movie I've seen in a long while
Glad I wasn't the ONLY one who had a problem with that first "Ferry" puzzle. Took me a while to figure that out!
If you fall in the water 5 times, you get a Special "achievement" Award! 😁
People are torturing themselves with all these god questions. And torturing others when they think they've got it all figured out.
"TORTURING themselves and others with these God questions". Interesting choice of words there. Why are these questions so torturous to many? I believe that's the idea this game is attempting explore - yours truly, not god, not satan.
@@antondb7934 ... but it's all a farce. It's like arguing who owns nature.
Come on, dont generalise. We are not all "torturing" us or others when we seek or acknowledge the creational consciousness we call God...and not everything has or can be solved. Spiritual things can be experienced and not only believed in btw. I wont force anything on anyone...cause thats not possibile anyway. Faith comes from within. But some things...we can just observe what happens when people fall to deeply into nihilism, hedonism, materialism etc. ..it just proves alot in religion right (in my opinion and observation). The lack of spirituality in society can have bad effects just like radical fundamentalists. People who think humans are soulless piles of cells whos life has no meaning, value or purpose, are also very quick to do evil, cause they think there is no consequence to their action outside of worldly law. Many people who denied God wanted themselves to be worshipped instead...Hitler, Stalin, Mao, the North Korean leaders...and to them life was disposable just like atheism makes it look like. Religion and spirituality has to be abused and twisted first to be used for evil.
@@antondb7934idk probably because these ppl think that if they place people under submission and eradicate a certain group that they will even get a chance at paradise because the concept of death is so foreign to them that it’s scary.
What? So the bible was not designed to be analyzed? We are not supposed to apply critical thinking to a BOOK? Yes, a book, the probability of it being written by a very intelligent and creative individual, an individual with great wisdom. We're just supposed to believe in a god? We all seek enlightenment, we all seek to be at peace with our beliefs. We can be open to certain methods of thought, we're all different, you must be reasonable.
I'm worried the controller will burst into flames.
why so many dislikes for such an amazing game? I guess it's the insane religious people once again huh?
I think most (younger) people these days need a story that takes them by the hand and explains every step and action in a way that a 5 year old could understand it. This game does not do that, hell I guess the devil's dialogue is probably too long and intricate for most
@@AccAkut1987 lol true, might also be that. Such a shame, cuz such games are gifts that keep on giving, and yet they go underappreciated for being "esoteric"
It’s called not disrespecting people’s beliefs.
@@TheGIRLIoanathe game is trash because it is disrespectful to Christianity. So it’s okay to bash people’s beliefs but as soon as someone disrespects yours then it’s not okay?
@@moisesrodriguez3685 @moisesrodriguez3685 You belief is objectively harmful, of course I will bash it because I wish you could see that religion (all of them, actually) is a bunch of stories and fabrications made by people to manipulate masses and therefore, you guys are hurting yourselves by being blind to that, and it's just miserable and sad to witness. To think that there's an overpowered supernatural being who will send you to hell if you misstep, is much more intimidating than a bunch of people in power telling you the exact same thing. Not realizing that religion is a scam made to control people is one of the biggest factors that keep this society from evolving - dumb, brain washed people are easier to control than smart, free-thinking ones, after all. Back to our conversation, I repeat, yes, I will be triggered when the belief that Christianity , and religion in general, is bad, is contested, because people who believe in religion OBJECTIVELY drag this society down. This is not about me, it never was, this is about us, as a whole. I wish you could understand, but I know how strong the brainwash's hold can be, so it's like talking to a brick wall. Whatever, I am just happy that I tried to make a change in one lost sheep.

GTP -- The storytelling, the graphics, and all elements featured in this game are absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Please explain the ending thank you.
In the end her biggest wish was fullfilled the voice stopped and she lost her faith.
She "accepted" her demons and more of who she was metaphorically "the voice" and got the artifact and saw there was nothing in it. So she realised that her faith isn't real and she could be who she is. I think that's my 2 cents, anyone can correct me if I'm wrong
@@JarlBalgruff_ Agreed! I'd only add this: In this life, we are guided by two things: Who we are ("the Devil") and what we value ("God"). We walk forward on impulse and instinct, we change course on choice and decisions. Illia was a prisoner who valued his faith and his skills as a guitarist, only to later abandon both when he didn't get EXACTLY what he wanted.
Indika was a Mechanic's daughter acting as a Nun. Her pixelated yellow thingies could be seen as "faith" or at least "what she values". She lost all of them when having to lower herself for freedom, floating aimlessly in the red void as she was literally losing her religion, only to finally get it back through a seemingly infinite source, but that source was empty, showing that it's power was only ever in how she valued it.
@@JarlBalgruff_ I agree, especially with the shaking of the kudyets and the "points," which of course led her to open in and see a turth, that it was hollow. Her faith was hollow, and since that faith was built on nothing, the inversion and the "demonic questioning" came out of that. She freed herself from the illusion that it (religion, faith, philosophy, or at least the type she thought she "understood") was real yet that she didn't deserve it.
The coversations with "the devil" was something she was initially fightened and fearful of. To me this comes across as not accepting her subconscious and instead "demonizing" it. Was she lost following the devil? Or was she lost from the start with trying to be a nun and follow that fake faith (fake to her on a deep level, as though she knows it's not *her* answer)?
I think the little pixel art scenes acting as memory vignettes showed pieces of herself she had either forgotten or stored away. The journey with Ilya was a personal psychological attempt to "plead forgiveness," at first an outside "god" and later she realizes, for herself. I think the ending seeing that Ilya had only returned to being drunk and lost (as he was long before his arrest) also showed that although this journey had no "real meaning" or "real miracles" (at least in the sense of an arm reattaching or whatever), the real miracle was that she was truly able to forgive herself and integrate conscious & subconscious (as seen in the devil disappearing after she realizes the kudyets, a static symbol of an outside faith, was hollow)
I guess one could argue that while Indika succeeded in her personality integration, Ilya did not. Indika did have faith in herself to change her circumstances, at every point as we see in the game. Whereas Ilya remained blinded by a faith that seemed more real to him (his "god voice"), it was only because he himself had none. Indika is freed of "her demon," yet we blatantly see Ilya returning to his, disregarding their entire adventure and possible meaning for a drink and a silly trumpet. He didn't even acknowledge that Indika had escaped, he knew she was captured! In general I feel that this shows he's given up on self reflection. He didn't *really* want to change, he just wanted some outside force to tell him it was alright, that he was absolved (the kissing-the-kudyets scene)
Fascinating game to reflect on. I think these types of stories almost have to be played out in such a slow sense. In this case: One, to show via player-puppetry of Indika that she has this "will" and choice about her; and two, to allow the player to question and reflect as the long journey trudges on. The snow itself comes across to me as a spiritual void that the player/Indika is traversing, only to find that there is no magic "place" in timespace with miracles: only that timeless acceptance of consciousness, moral agency, responsibility (that can only be granted to oneself along the path) acts as the miracle for the soul
Pretty freakin' cool how in one of the ending scenes where they're nearly at the kudyets, Ilya's arm on his back starts moving xD I'll leave the next guy the challenge to interpret that!
Graphics were good. Total snooze-fest otherwise.
Pretty dope game, strangely good

So basically, she fell out of her relgious believe and is now free of the devil?

I gave up on the platforming section where you have to climb up the roof - those last three steps where you have to time the jumps. Tried about 100 times, shame because I was loving the game. You should be able to skip the section after a certain amount times, I will be 41 soon. The precious little time I have for gaming I don't have the patience for this shit.
I think they didn't have enough money for full story segments
@@egthx2661 Yes I would agree they had 'filler' segments in the game. However the story, characters and dialogue was really fascinating. I just can't fathom why they wouldn't allow you to skip those sections.... surely there would be other people in the same boat as me.

Got it last week on GOG
Apparently the developers stated that it will launch "later in May" for consoles. Initially it was May 8th but that seems to be only on PC. Weird.
Does anyone risk explaining the ending?
In this life, we are guided by two things: Who we are ("the Devil") and what we value ("God"). We walk forward on impulse and instinct, we change course on choice and decisions. Illia was a prisoner who valued his faith and his skills as a guitarist, only to later abandon both when he didn't get EXACTLY what he wanted.

Realizing that "God" wasn't in some fancy metal artifact, neither was "the Devil" in her mind, leaving her alone with only the mechanical sounds of clockwork around her. Something man made, that she understood. It wasn't what she wanted. It was just what she got.
Does that seem fair? Is "fair" even a thing? Or do things just happen?
@@HCRBerhan I think thats your story and not the games.
I have a different explanation.. Since the game is clearly inspired from real stories and real experiences, the whole journey and the end of it also has a correspondent to our reality.
The amount and the quality of the details are just insanely good and precises.
Long story short, since Indika was in the monastery she kept fighting with the devil (all those illusion, all those thoughts, the voice in her head).

i think she need to leave God in her equation..
since you got freedom to think:
1. you can do bad thing,
2. you can do good thing.
but in religion belief u gonna pay that in afterlife, if u do bad thing, u ll go to hell, good thing? go to heaven and rewarded.
"if u want me to do a good thing, just program me to do so, dont give me a freedom"
that make you a robot, u only do what u are programmed to do. if u want to be a robot, just force urself to do a good thing.
plus its ridiculous to blame it on ur freedom to think, when u did a bad thing.. its purely on you.
IF hell and heaven isnt exist, will you still trying to do a good thing?
IF void of non existent is the only thing waiting for you after the end, will you still trying to do a good thing?
you're the only one know the truth answer, because that answer is what describe you as individual intelligent creature with freedom to think to the point that you're asking "why i have ability to think and choose?"
put God into your thought equation it will be diff topic to talk about.
what i can say, if you learn biology, physic, chemistry, astronomy..
our existence is beyond just "coincident", our existence is made with Design,
VERY well Design.. something a 3rd party have to do with it.. people call it God.
if earth closer to sun *a bit*, we wont exist..
if earth further a bit from the sun, we wont exist..
if earth didnt get hit with asteroid that bring the water, we wont exist..
if earth dont have ozon layer? we wont exist..
if sun bigger a little bit? we wont exist..
if sun smaller a little bit? we wont exist..
all of this need to be a perfectly places, the size of the sun compare to the distance of earth, the heat value..
even if it do, ozon layer (O3) need to exist to protect us.. with water, and organic matter (carbon)..
main reason why 100% planet we find are inhabitable. (some speculate as habitable planet purely hypothesis from electron wave coming from it)
if we dont have white blood cell (living) that actively fight virus/bacteria, we wont exist..
if that white blood cell sacrifice themself to heal our injury? we wont exist..
we dont even understand how extremely complex the design of brain to make individual have such intelligent..
our body consist billion of LIVING cell that work like a rhythm together for us, heart, liver, lung, kidney..
even 1 cell have complex mechanic.
the developer of this game must have conflict thinking with certain religion, its called belief with a reason.
its fine, me too.. i put a lot of thought as well as part of existential crisis lol.

The game was really disappointing. The way it starts grabs the player's attention, suggesting a possible schizophrenia or internal demon of the nun. However, they then simply add a very poorly developed character who has a very slight impact on the protagonist. They don't develop anything further and squander the concept of the nuns. The final reflection on an "inner demon" that we all possess seems poor to me.
In addition to poor gameplay, with nonsensical puzzles (the one with the cans that need to be moved is the worst puzzle I've played in any video game), they squandered the mechanic of praying to reset things when they turned red. It was a complete failure and, in my opinion, a governmental scam if they received funds to develop this AAA game.
Government scam lmaoooo
@@lilovs9952 The team is formed by like 200 ppl, they sure got a goverment investment. I refer to that because of the poor quality output and development of the story
@@ale82514 what poor quality output and development? The game received extremely good reviews and made much more in the first month than expected.
By poorly developed character, do you mean Ilya? It's a short game. I don't really know how much more you'd need from him. I think he's played his part in the game. He's a convict, he's clung to religion in a time of peril, he's on a mission, and due to the recent discovery that you've been exhiled from covenant, you decide to tag along with him. And it also is a parallel to her previous love intrest, the gypsy. A theiving musician with big dreams who you follow because you're young and restless, and it leads you to ruin because of your naivety.
She probably did have schizophrenia. It is a traumatic response, and she did go through trauma. The demon probably is a coping mechanism for her to rationalize her skeptical, or sinful tendencies from a religious way, that is, until she loses her religion, and you only have yourself. Why is this poor?
I wouldn't say the puzzles were particularly good, but they weren't bad either. Biggest complaint is that it can take a lotta time if you're an idiot like me. And I too wish the praying mechanic stayed, however, it makes sense that she used it less. As the game progressed, she began asking more and more questions, making the effect of prayer in her mind duller. You noticed that overtime, when she signed the cross when you press the prayer button, she gets more and more limp wristed with it until she completely ceases to do it.
@@purpp-esque1711 I agree, I would have preferred if she actually spoke to satan. too bad.

You know you can just turn it off right?
i liked this
Reading the comments on this video is kinda sad tbh. Alot of used to be christians and people who werent taught the proper way and as a result fell out of the faith. Its ok to have questions, as long as you earnestly look for the answer. I always thought the same way "why is this in the bible or why is this like that" the answer is always there but some "christians" dont rely on the bible and instead feel they know it all and try to explain things from a non-biblical standpoint which then contradicts everything. The bible is perfect and explains all the contradictions just people dont read or try to figure out things they dont understand. When it says God repented, well how can God repent? Rather than say well God isnt perfect try to figure out what the context means. Repent means to change a way of thinking. Well if God repented in exodus yet the action he was going to commit still happened then how is it a contradiction. This is just one of the many examples of how its perfect. He was going to smite the israelites for worshipping another god yet he changed his way of thinking and instead sent moses down to do it after he convinced him not to. I hope and pray some of you find your way back.

Why do tanned lines on arms leads to anxiety for indica . Racist
😊
By anxiety you mean sexual excitement? And how is that racist?
Indika.. definitely good enough for a poke.

What’s the point of the game is it about stop believing in god!?
Pretty much. This game is a liberal anti Christian screed. And a bad one at that.
Cheesy game. Belongs on the shelf to collect dust
The whole 2d sprite sections are stupid as hell. Good way to take you out of the experience of the game.
Overall I didnt understood what was behind the choice of all the retro game look. What, life is a meaninless game or some shit?
The difference in style signifies the difference between the before (happy childhood) and the after (a nun with a demon). Causing her lover's death broke her. In Indika's mind, there's no connection between these two parts.
yeah there's no way that that dissonance was in any way intentional, just a complete rookie mistake on the part of the developers there

1:31:33 I have no idea why this dude got lots of subscribers; his gameplay got lots of edits as a simple toddler game. Stop uploading gameplay if there are lots of edits. Are you kidding me?
Bro calm down he just cut a second or two
@@polyamory2410 Really? Check out all his gameplay; not only this one got lots of edits and skips, Bruh! 🤡
I am sure it is because he cut out his errors in that level of the game. To keep the story going
