Indika for Nintendo Switch: Odd Meter and 11 bit Studios Bring Acclaimed Adventure This Fall

Indika, the critically acclaimed narrative-driven adventure by Odd Meter and publisher 11 bit studios, is officially heading to Nintendo Switch this fall, giving fans of story-rich indie titles another reason to look forward to the upcoming season.

Alongside a digital release on the Nintendo eShop, a physical edition will also be made available thanks to a partnership with boutique publisher Silver Lining Interactive.

Enthusiasts who prefer boxed copies can purchase the physical version through the Silver Lining Direct website or at select retail locations. Set in a vividly reimagined 19th-century Russia, Indika invites players to explore a world where spiritual visions and harsh reality collide.

The game follows the journey of a young nun named Indika, whose seemingly modest monastery life is upended when she develops an unusual alliance with the devil himself.

What begins as a routine errand outside the convent rapidly spirals into a surreal and darkly comedic odyssey that challenges the boundaries between faith and authority, mixing moments of humor and tragedy in equal measure. Odd Meter, the indie studio behind Indika, was formerly based in Moscow and now operates out of Kazakhstan.

In a statement, the developers emphasized their commitment to storytelling that defies conventional norms.

"Indika is about more than just faith—it’s about self-discovery and questioning the systems we take for granted," they explained, underlining the game's unique blend of atmospheric exploration, dark humor, and innovative puzzle mechanics.

With narrative influences drawn from literary giants like Dostoyevsky and Bulgakov, Indika delivers an experience where the sacred and the profane intertwine through every step of Indika’s journey. Key features of Indika include: - A third-person adventure experience with an imaginative, darkly comic narrative. - A character-driven journey set in a surreal version of 19th-century Russia. - A devilish companion who brings unconventional perspective to Indika's quest. - Puzzles that are seamlessly integrated into the unfolding story, enhancing immersion. - Striking environments and atmospheric world-building that stand out on the Nintendo Switch platform. - Mini-games with pixel-art flair that reveal deeper insights into the protagonist’s troubled past. Indika has already made an impression on critics and players alike with its bold approach to subject matter and innovative design, building anticipation for its debut on Nintendo Switch.

The addition of a physical edition, facilitated by Silver Lining Interactive, ensures that collectors and fans of boxed Nintendo Switch games will have the opportunity to own a tangible piece of this distinctive indie title. Indika is set to launch on Nintendo Switch in fall 2024, with both digital and physical editions available.
