INDIKA - NUN THE DEVIL HIMSELF

[@RAHUL_GAMING876]

Love the fact that my day ends with a mortismal video everyday. Driving home from work with a video is always a great time.

[@challengeboymandala]

I just finished the game. As an atheist, I’ve never experienced anything like this. The final sequence where the game was played in first person perspective was such a brilliant idea. “I will vanish when u stop wishing me to.” As indika lost her faith, she saw her own reflection in the mirror instead of the devil inside her. Goddamn does it give me chills.

Jessica Hoops makes some of the best reviews there are. Well-written and delivered, with interesting points to give the viewer the necessary context. Plus, it's three minutes but doesn't feel like Jessica is rushing to the end. She's very much in control of the pacing. Great work showcasing a very interesting game

[@LaxmanSaran-kx9zg]

This is why I love and support this channel! Always up for weird interesting indies like this. Thanks for the review!

[@JamnaJatav-r4y]

Whoa the visual presentation and use of camera is very striking. Especially the scenes you showed where it is pointed straight at her face. Very cool.

[@GAMINǴAVI-o8x]

Thanks for the video. Not sure if I get the tuna-disco-inferno, but titles like this clearly demonstrate how video games can be artistic, if not art itself. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@haridarchonthalapally399]

Another game I wasn't expecting you to cover! I was looking into this myself, but I'm glad I got to hear your input as well

[@neonmaxgamers1606]

thanks for covering this game Jesse, was super glad to see it pop up in your feed despite how much of an outlier it is on your channel. i adored INDIKA and am pretty confident calling it a masterpiece. felt like a game made just for me: photorealistic mixed with 8-bit, weird hallucinations, bold confrontational scenes like the impaled guy after the train wreck and the dead dog in the factory. one of those games i can literally say i laughed and cried playing. as for the reason i'm commenting: you mentioned that you are a fan of narrative games like this, so i was curious if there are any others you'd recommend, particularly for a very strong fan of the vibe INDIKA was going for. take care!

[@SantoshPatel-uz9ms]

Had no idea this game existed and now I’m very intrigued. One of the things I love about this channel.

[@AmitKumar-gl6ln]

What I love LOVE about the game though is the music. The music is so unique to my ears, and it strangely goes so well with the theme of the scene.

[@PandyworkingPandyworking]

The Cat Lady mentioned! I haven't played that game in forever. I remember playing it when I was far too young and connecting with it significantly. If you haven't played it and have the stomach for disturbing stuff, it's more than worth it.

[@SuryakantaJena-gu6eo]

Jess is a fantastic reviewer and narrator! She sounds confident and educated and clearly knows her games. She is one to watch, can't wait for more of her Bytesized reviews. This game looks dope -- love the mix of puzzles and spookiness and philosophy. Great graphics too. Seems really unique in its style and atmosphere. Thanks, Jess, for showing me Indika! Keep these reviews coming, we want more Jess!

[@kollikrishan146]

I appreciate this review format. Concise, but possessing the human touch and insight that was lacking at times in old school style reviews. While still having the important brass tacks of playtime, cost, and fans of X may enjoy Y. Good stuff.

[@PunitmaliPunit]

I love that they visually present her point of view/perception of things. It's like a first person view through a third person gameplay.

[@MamaMama-pu5tc]

Fantastic review from Jess of a very intriguing game. I really appreciate all different types of games and genres the channel highlights and reviews.

[@mr_jatav_arjun_sarkar_01]

"A nun that believes she talks to the Devil and a criminal that believes he talks to God." What a wonderful pairing, very interested in this game, cheers.

[@VimalaReddy-e1m]

Just wanted to say how useful it is you saying how long a play through might last - games under ten hours are very appealing to me these days! I am deeply interested in this game, that's right up my alley. Thanks for the review, guys

[@rjanuofficial1351]

I didn't expect to have this game stuck in my head for a while. I'm not even a christian, but the idea of a game exploring religious scepticism from the perspective of a nun is a very interesting concept that I've never experienced before. Not to mention the world design in this game is amazing, I especially love everything about its steampunk aesthetic.

[@princechauhan6727]

Was looking for reviews of this after the next fest demo peaked my interest and pleasantly surprised to see your thoughtful take!

[@gulabbagale7931]

Just finished this game, came to this review in my efforts to find an explanation video. Was surprised to find you reviewed it, decided to stop by on my way to understanding what this game was about.

[@khushiii_703]

It’s great to see a title that isn’t an open world zombie survival with RPG elements that’s rogue like/souls like with online multiplayer. Let’s not forget about the pricy DLC that should have actually been added to the game before release! I’am definitely sold on this game!I often wish games would more openly explore philosophical and spiritual themes, like this.

[@PradeepVerma-zm8pp]

I'm really interested in this. Great review, and the Face/Off clip killed me LOL

[@hiteshking4188]

Man, Second Wind is stacked. Jessica, Darren, and Marty are some of the best writers in the industry right now, in my opinion.

[@Rupnarayanchampiya]

Nice mate, glad you're giving the game coverage. Might check it out at a later date for sure. Btw for tomorrow May the 4th be with you.

[@prabh2630]

Been looking forward to this since Steam nextfest in January. The deno was really intriguing. Hellblade was the game it sort of reminded me of too. It doesn't feel like what you see on screen is necessarily real, more the interpretation that Indika is putting on situations.

[@Princeff337]

Reviewed this myself in my native language. Genuinely a really memorable game. Puzzles where too easy, but the narrative itself was strong and I especially enjoyed how it dared tackle with subjects and situations normally not dealt with in video games and, on top of that, doing it in a mature and thoughtful way.

[@RamRam-dk2pt]

I think by merely being something unique, standing out from the crowd gives me massive interest

[@surendrabanjara2636]

Thank you for the review. I'll be buying this very soon, love these types of games.

[@nahdusalkar]

Ahhh man those pixels bring me back to games I don’t even know the names of and never found again outside of a vhs shack in a small town

[@faudaryt1425]

After seeing Yhatzee play it, I was sold on the game. Wasn't sure if it would be up my alley beforehand but now, I am certain it is my type of game.

[@viramvsv6458]

The reversed roles Indika and the soldier was probably my favorite part. That and the ending although… Christ it was heavy

[@Kishanop-yz3ev]

The religious themes, low-budget vibes and alternate European historical setting made me me think of Felvidek--someone should DEFINITELY check that game out if you haven't already, it seems perfect for this review format!

[@d.k.thakor6522]

I think it's great that such a different game was made, and I hope they sell some copies.

[@NickSingh-sf8wl]

Ive had my eye on this since the Steam nextfest demo back in January. Really interested in Morts view. It seems like an interesting take on mental health stuff without the absolute battering my brain is going to take with Hellblade 2.

[@ikbalSingh-tz7bu]

just finished the game yesterday and it was an experience to say the least

[@anugaming56]

To anyone on the fence. Get it. Im not into narrative games, but this nun just kicks ass

[@naitik_tiwari]

Surprised it's so short after what I played on Steam a few months back. Still looks interesting.

[@bholabihari3801]

Been watching the walk through of this game by CJU and so far I'm loving the game, the story is interesting when it comes to points of views with the conversations between the 2 characters, the nun that can hear the devil, and the ex convic can hear God, the more he's progressing the more it seems like a mature version of little nightmares. I love the mini 2d games from her past, though that's just my personal preference.

[@KarimGhachi-uk1zt]

I remember Yathzee collecting the buckets of water and the hag just poured it away at his feet. Good times

[@BIPLABCARROMGMR]

I like the fact that this weird game gets to exist, and I hope many more games like this will get made, not made to be as popular as possible but appeal to a certain kind of audience who’ll hopefully love it. The religious themes remind me a bit of Pentiment.

[@AyushKumar-sl9qm]

Have you heard about Naomi Novik's Temeraire book series? Napoleonic war but each nation has air force made of dragons and squads of men who ride them, dropping bombs and shooting other dragons with muskets? You should absolutely read those books, they are awesome.

[@BabuSk-oj7ck]

Overall, I’m just glad that there are many options out there. Some might be better for another person than they are for me, and that’s okay.

[@vimalkumarsinha434]

I really hope this comes out for Mac, it looks fascinating

[@NaviSingh-jq4xm]

This feels like a fun next game after The Thurmatuge.

[@prafulrameshkesharekeshare3308]

So it's kind of hellblade but with a nun, to be honest the scene with the little man kind of sold me the game I bought this in a heart-beat. I don't really care if this wasn't executed perfectly, I want more games like this getting funded.

[@bablurajak5660]

A criminal who talks to God and a nun who talks to a Devil? Now that’s a peculiar duo if I saw one

[@ParwatiSawmi]

Really like your new channel & the various videos types you have. Just enough variety & seems far leas restrictive

[@abhimanynvagh2250]

I wish the devs all the best. Leaving russia to finish a game they wanted to make, knowing they may be arrested when returning. Thats tough

[@nidhijaiswal121]

While AAA are pretty much copying themselfs smaller teams are releasing super interesting titles that I love to play

[@itzofficialking]

The industry could do with more games that are made to the creators tastes and themes instead of always going for mass appeal.

[@ABINASH-CREATD_BY]

Whoa the visual presentation and use of camera is very striking. Especially the scenes you showed where it is pointed straight at her face. Very cool.
