11 bit studios today announced the upcoming arrival on Xbox of INDIKA, an unusual third-person adventure with realistic graphics from the studio Odd Meter, in which we will take on the role of a young nun who will meet the devil himself and embark on an adventure in the Russian countryside.

The game is expected during the month of May: here is the official description, the announcement trailer and a set of images.

A NUN OUT OF THE ORDINARY

INDIKA is a narrative-driven third-person game set in a strange world where religious visions collide with harsh reality. It tells the story of a young nun who embarks on a journey of self-discovery with an unusual companion with horns by her side.

Seen from the outside, Indika looks like the typical nun trying to adapt to the difficult and monotonous life of the monastery. But as humble and innocent as he is, he has also made a highly unlikely acquaintance: he talks to the devil himself.

The unusual bond between Indika and the Evil One leads her to carry out a mission outside the safe walls of the monastery. The world he discovers can only be described as a mad mixture of comedy and tragedy that seems to have come out of the novels of Dostoevsky and Bulgakov.

TRY AN INDIE GAME WHERE EVERYTHING HAPPENS

Religion and authority are themes present throughout Indika's journey, and she will have to ask herself many questions along the way. Help her find the answers, one after the other, before the end of this life-changing adventure.

Odd Meter is a small independent studio, previously based in Moscow and now in Kazakhstan. For team members, aesthetics are paramount and they are not afraid of ethical balancing acts. Their game proves this, because INDIKA is an open challenge to the industry's established approach to video game creation.
