Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about the nature of life and the universe…
INDIKA is a fascinating journey that explores the duality of life, death, good and evil. You play as Indika, a young nun who embarks on a journey on behalf of the elders of her convent, who have always mistreated her. She traverses a bleak (alternate-universe) Russian landscape, accompanied by some unexpected companions. Most notably, Indika cannot shake the company of a disturbing internal voice: the devil himself.
In Episode 29 of No Small Games, our hosts are joined in their review of INDIKA by special guest OrzulsPlace, who affectionately goes by Orzul, Orzu, or Zuzu. Before they dive into the game discussion, Emily and Kate get to know Orzul better, learning about their deep connection to music and the bands they plays in. During their discussion of INDIKA, Orzul and Kate discuss their personal connection to the themes of the game and the main character’s internal journey. The three continue to uncover fascinating new observations about the game throughout the episode. This is a very special and heartfelt episode; we hope you enjoy!
