The bizarre PS5 indie game INDIKA is back with a fresh trailer showcasing how the third-person action adventure plays, and it appears just as invitingly strange as its original pitch last year. Playing as a nun with the devil as your companion, you'll go on a journey of self-discovery in 19th-century Russia. Check out the gameplay trailer above.
A PS5 release is scheduled for later in the year, but if you've got a capable PC, there's a demo out now as part of Steam Next Fest.
Developer Odd Meter originally resided in Russia, but publisher 11 Bit Studios helped the team relocate to Kazakhstan, where it's now finishing off production. "Even before our country started the war, we walked a fine line working with topics that can get someone criminal prosecution in Russia," said game director Dmitry Svetlow at the time. "After 24th February [2022], things were complicated even further as staying in Russia became both physically scary and, more importantly, morally difficult, so we decided to leave for another country. Nowadays, it has become especially obvious how relevant the topics raised in our game are."
A portion of the revenue INDIKA generates will be donated to charities aiding the Ukrainian children affected by Russia's invasion of the country. What do you think of the gameplay trailer? Put your thoughts in the comments below.

Save the children..Bring them joy, i will definetely be contributing..
This game looks so interesting and different. I'm definitely going to keep my eye on it.
Going on a journey in 19th century Russia as a nun with the devil as your bud, made by a team that sounds like they essentially fled to Kazakhstan from 21st century Russia that'll be donating to the kids in Ukraine. I mean you can't really get more badass imo.
Although, being named Indika, I hope it doesn't make me giggle a lot, want to eat everything in the kitchen, then have a glorious sleep 😉
Kudos to the developers, they definitely have my attention and the game looks so interesting and weird. Will check it out for sure
That was a weird trailer. I like it. Will definitely check this out. I’ll see if the demo runs on my Steam Deck.
But I would really like to applaud 11 Bit Studios — for moving the entire team to a different country — as well as acknowledge the bravery of the developers to stand against an oppressive regime. I only wish all Russians could have the opportunity to do the same.
This looks absolutely fantastic. I wish the demo was live on the PS store. I’d be downloading it right now.
Continues to look suitably weird and interesting!
The visual style of the game is terrific! Likely, a release day purchase for me. Kudos to the team for their stance.
