<p>A book club for games that make you feel things 🎮 </p><p>The Beautiful Games Club is a community for people who love games that move you - emotionally, visually, creatively. Each episode, we pick a game that deserves some extra special attention and explore it together, one beautiful game at a time. </p><p>For episode 4, we're talking about Indika (2025) - a strange, striking third-person adventure from Odd Meter set in an alternate 19th century Russia. We follow a nun with a distinctly ungodly inner voice, meet an escaped convict who swears he can hear God, climb an impossibly huge fish factory, and ask a lot of very uncomfortable questions about sin, guilt and free will. With its clash of gritty realism and pixel-art flashbacks, unsettling sound design, and a plot that left all four of us with more questions than answers, Indika is the kind of game that stays with you long after the credits roll. So. Is Indika a beautiful game? </p><p>⚠️ FULL SPOILERS for Indika throughout, including discussion of violence, murder, sexual assault, and mental health. </p><p>Listen with caution if you haven't played! (Indika is available on Steam, PS5 and Xbox for around £20 - also currently on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra. About 4-5 hours of gameplay, more if that furnace puzzle beats you the way it beat us) </p><p>Host: Angel </p><p>Guests: Alannah, Mike and Lale </p><p>Game: Indika (2025), by Odd Meter </p><p>The Beautiful Games Club is brought to you by ustwo games - the studio behind Monument Valley, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, and Assemble With Care.</p><p>Follow the Beautiful Games Club:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BeautifulGamesClub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beautifulgamesclub/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@beautifulgamesclub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/beautifulgamesclub.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BlueSky</a></p><p><a href="https://discord.gg/kgVYYP2NZw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join the conversation on Discord</a></p><p><a href="https://mailchi.mp/beautifulgamesclub/sign-up" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Get monthly updates with our Newsletter.</a></p>

We throw paper planes over the Berlin Wall, help an old man pack a very important suitcase, navigate a spaceship (badly), and ask the question: what would you leave behind? </p><p>With its comic book-inspired visuals, genre-hopping storytelling, and a habit of making you google German history at midnight, The Berlin Apartment is the kind of game that turns a renovation project into something quite profound.</p><p>So.
