The Religious Gamification of Indika

The indie game Indika caught a lot of attention with its odd blend of grey realism and classic 8 and 16 bit retro gaming aesthetic. But what is the actual purpose of this aesthetic clash? And what's the deal with this point system the game explicitly claims to be pointless? In this video, I explore how Indika uses the conventions and language of video games to critique the topic of religion, and religious institutions. 0:00 Intro (Pascal's Wager) 1:18 The Plot 3:41 The (Allegedly) Pointless Point System 6:18 Finding Value & Meaning 7:28 Mortification of the Flesh & Religious Trauma 11:33 The Story of Saint John 13:05 The Ending 15:16 Understanding the Ending 17:03 A Commentary on Video Games Themselves 18:14 End Credits 19:46 Outro Patreon:   / pimscrypt   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/pimscrypt.bs...
