      It is the commonly accepted interpretation that she pushed the wardrobe, even. It's one of a couple odd omissions or maybe interpretations that the video says otherwise.

    The guy she fell in love with was sketchy from the start
    He stole her bike, never returned it and probably sold it or destroyed it. Then telling her to steal from her father, he was probably running a scam. I think he was going to run away with the money. He probably goes from city to city tricking people, and then moving on to the next victim. Maybe he took the bike and hid it so when he escaped with the money he could get away quicker🤔

      I kinda wish she did get taken for a ride!
      The story barely works with that as her "guilt", that like someone trying to kill you for taking out the trash too early.

      @@Subject_Keter Exactly. She literally met him, was robbed by him; and fell in love with him, and slept with him with the span of what…2-3 weeks. She was willing to risk her fathers financial situation for a nomadic criminal she JUST met.
      I don’t think his death cause her insanity because CLEARLY she wasn’t thinking straight from the beginning.
      Instead of giving her a “tragic” backstory, they should’ve upped the horror and made it a real demonic possession and not just hallucinations because of “guilt” over the death of a man she just met. Like maybe if the man ended up killing her father I get it, there would be guilt in that, but other than that it broke the story line.

Maybe the medicine has some side effects that calm his mind , after all being sick can also cause a mind of a person going dizzy.

    from a medical point of view, early symptoms of sepsis includes confusion deleirium also pain since his arm was already at an advanced stage of necrosis. so after he was given morphine his pain subsided, so his confused mind also calmed down. also 15 is somewhat an age of mind development. so it is fairly possible to leave a permanent scar on a teenager's mind after experiencing a traumatic event

    I think the animals were all normal sized. The dog, the fish etc just seemed big & got bigger as Indika verged outside more, she's naive & hasn't experienced the world so everything looks huge to her. The soldier never comments on the size of the fish/whales etc so I don't think he saw the same huge creatures like Indika did.

    This was actually a really good game and most people will ignore it for the religious themes.
    Indika is a superbly complex character.
    I do like how they had the guts to give such a simple realistic ending but i do wish they had a hint on what Indika would do after this. Its likely that the soldier would just commit suicide or drink himseld to death but I wonder what would Indika would have done.
    With no faith left she wouldnt have returned to the nuns, her relationship with her father is ruined since he forced her to marry a stranger for money.

      Realistically, Indika would’ve either:
      A) turned to prostitution because of how rock bottom she is (it’s also very common for women who grew up strictly religious to over-correct and have a “whore” phase)
      B) un-alive because of how rock bottom and guilt-ridden she is
      C) roam the countryside scraping by via A and contemplating B before stumbling upon a village and starting life over

      For non-religous people like myself, I imagine the issue is that at this point in 2024, a lot of us don't struggle with faith because atheism isn't as taboo as it used to be, so people are now able to just feel indifferent about faith. Because of that, I didn't expect to find the themes personally compelling (though I now think they are)
      As for religious people, they may be weary of criticism against religion, so they might avoid this based on that

    This game hit me like a ton of bricks. No idea why really. It just ends so unfairly. After all the fantastical places and journey, the suffering and overcoming those challenges, we just end up on the floor of a pawn shop. I'm sure there's people who see it the opposite though, the game ends, Indika and Ilya are free now in their own ways and that's the reason/result for their suffering and growth.
    Such a polarize-able story, I love it.

      It's basically a story of people not moving on from the sins of their past. Illya is a convict but instead of correcting his mistakes, he focused more on his arm to get back to his glory days. Indika went to the monastery out of guilt to repent but doing chores and prayer won't instantly fix her problems if she's not honest about herself regarding her ex-lover. In the end, both didn't learn a thing as Illya is still fixated on learning an instrument instead of correcting his mistakes and Indika losing her "faith" from a trinket that doesn't actually do anything.

    the undertone here takes long to tell us only at the very end that there are no happy endings and not everyone will be around to see how everything will unfold for you because quiet frankly we all have our lives to live and we stop caring as soon as we stop enjoying a spectacle
    ilya and indikas stories are written and left unfinished deliberately for two specific reasons in my observation . the first: we as the 3rd persons are being manipulated into being hopeful for their better endings and Secondly to manipulate us as much as they are being manipulated in their stories. we hope ilya recognizes that she is being unfairly treated and taken advantage of by her fellow nuns (her peers her social group) due to her desperate want to fit in and be validated. we hope she realizes this by the end of this journey that we have found her halfway in between as we know more about her and grow closer to her as an individual not the shell of who she aspires to be (a nun). we are manipulated to be hopeful for her as we would be with anyone else who seems to be victim of circumstance and seeks retribution for the things she has done. you want her to do well for herself because she is in her own way and worsens her insecurities by not accepting and living with her demon she needs to listen to some Ken Carson music
    for ilya we are manipulated into hoping that ilya will recover over the course of the journey, that he will "play us the song of the flute which we have not got to hear ever since the tragedy ever since we were last innocent" (a metaphor in Indikas perspective) before the mundaneness of everyday life took over, we are hopeful that ilyas music will return to him that he will play his guitar by the end because that is the world he has been Gifted to tred because he is our friend and we are likely to hope that he succeededs especially that now he is free from prison.
    we are hopeful as we play and learn that this story is about second chances. the open ending manipulates us into feeling good about tuning way feeling good that they will be fine now that the dust has cleared and they aren't anchored by all the baggage however the reality is far more darker than that

    • @JAKSN-po7dm
      @JAKSN-po7dm 23 дні тому +10

      the reality is if this story is about any of these 3 related topics :
      -toxic relationship
      -drug abuse and running away from home
      -existentialism and the question of what is morality
      then the ending suggests something frightening. indika is now homeless she may have to resort to inconsiderable measures to keep fed and make travel means to either continue alone without anyone to really talk to about her trauma, she may not love again as she has been lied to by men whole lot. she may have to return to the nun house (her cult) or home to her father (the place of her trauma) to relive the memories and possibly ostracize herself even further from the world as she has not treated the root of the problem with why she believes her true nature to be monstrous. this is a clear example of returning to a toxic relationship worse if she chooses them nuns again.
      Ilya is far worse than we first met him. Ilya has not revealed much about his past to us for us to make any judgments of where he is going or from where he comes. yet with what we can assume.... music keeps him sane, music means alot to the both of these individuals but it is always the artist who lives closely with the music they play/make than the listener who can only relate and feel relatable. ilya is f*cked he's mental state is yet to deteriorate he still had hope in a miracle, that he would be able to play music again he parasocially latched onto the idea that an object would grant him a miracle which shows signs of how far gone he already was up to this point as far mental ills concerned. the voice in his head that lead him to create led him to flee from the law, incriminate himself further steal from them dudes pawn that precious item for a flute? you can clearly tell this man wants to play he wants to be with his muse in the place where musicians go he wants to escape his reality by jumping into the next 'drug' the next best thing and it will continue to damage him should he not accept one of 2 things that he's been selfish and his music allowed him to continue be so because it may have given comfort to those he was selfish to (when they hear him play) and that without his arm he has to let go, find a community start anew and accept when things go awry otherwise he will become indika someone who sees the rational side of the world yet cannot ration with her own past.
      This my opinion. was a cool video shout out to you gamingharry your stuff is fire. this channel is where i get my dose of well voiced and written storytelling. much appreciated your work is cool and your use of language is outta here. i can tell you are a college graduate of some kind much love to you and team! 10/10

    This was a joy to watch. I liked this game's premise, when it comes to faith and reality. I think its normal to question it, I think its normal to try to use one's faith to escape issues you may not want to deal with. Or to use faith to cope with things. Faith in any religion can be good as it can bring a sense of support and community, but it can also be used as a tool for escapism. I liked that the game addressed that in some way. Though I could be reading to much into this. haha. But great video! Can't wait to see more of your content!

    • @speemus6223
      @speemus6223 14 днів тому

      that is true not for all religions though, in some religion like Islam, and maybe other branches of Christianity, faith isnt something you 100% rely on to get your life together, there needs to be an effort for that, simply wishing for something to happen while not working towards it, is essentially thinking youre already in heaven as these religion teaches us that this world is a test not paradise. but ofc although these religions might not preach that, it doesnt really stop people from just wishing everyday for something without working for it to begin with due to a lack of knowledge.

    It surprises me you don't mention the fact that Ilya's arm keeps moving even after it's been chopped off. That is fascinating to me, just like the head of Senua's boyfriend keeps breathing. Ilya might have had a point. And in a ways, the Kudets have worked for Indika, as the problem of her possession has been solved now she doesn't have any faith at all.

Idk if Illiya mentions how big the fish are, but I wonder if she saw them as bigger than they were?

    Fun theology fact, @15:48 indika is seen following the theology of St. Augustine and Martin Luther. To oversimplify, these theologians believed that humanity is created evil and the only way to obtain salvation is when god gifts it to us. They believed humanities “wicked” nature makes us powerless to save ourselves and therefore god has to actively gift us salvation at the time of our birth. This is due to the original sin Adam and Eve committed. After the original sin was committed, humanity remains powerless/ helpless to change our wicked nature and cause our own salvation. Huge props to the story writers for implementing this into the game!

      Wait..as of writing this i also noticed the minigames parallels alot with Indika's encountering Ilya.
      In both scenarios, she met a guy both with backgrounds in crimes (her ex-lover was a petty thief, Ilya was a runaway convict), they eventually grew closer intimately, and then she kinda unintentionally backstabs him, one out to protect herself while the other especially at the catherdal, when she exposed his corrupt status to the Father and the way she wrapped Ilya's arm around her as the guards grew close made it look like he's about to be framed(?). Maybe i misrepresent the interaction there idk most of dialogues but i thought it's still a cool detail nonetheless.

    Indika reminded me somewhat of a family friend who is a Christian with schizophrenia. She has struggled against visual and audio hallucinations of a demonic bent for most of her life. She's a stronger person than most people I know.
    Christian doctrine says that the world is imperfect because of The Fall (aka the great Adam and Eve kablooie). That's why people are imperfect. We are warped by the world around us. Other parts of scripture indicate that God has a purpose for every person. So regardless of the way the world has shaped us, our lives have meaning. We can choose to pursue that or not. I know that my family friend with schizophrenia believes that wholeheartedly- and truly, she has been an inspiration to countless people.
    I have numerous health problems (including Depression and pretty bad Fibromyalgia) which have been debilitating since my teens, and I also believe that. Honestly, there were times when I wanted to... not exist... because I was in so much pain with no clear cause, and I didn't understand why, at 15, I was dealing with that. Then I had the thought that if my reason for being was over and done with, I'd be gone. But if I continued existing, there was still a purpose for my life. You have no idea how uplifting that simple concept has been through the past decades (especially prior to getting an actual diagnosis, at 18- for some reason illness seems more withering to morale when you don't know the cause).
    Obviously this is a simplified version of doctrine, with some personal views. I don't want to argue or anything like that, just put in a short explanation/answer for some of Indika's doubts.

      I know that fucking feeling, so i had a bone fragment that migrated to my spine and was trying to cut my spine down.
      All my support was not only actively not helping me but making fun of me for it intill my doctor got "annoyed" at me and said "fuck it, we scan it" and bam.
      Even rigjt before the operating room my family was still being little shits and demanding me to blindly listen to the doctor who.. forgot my name and my issues. 😂
      Luckly we are meant to be stronger then the people that raised us.
      But this game reminds me of the first thoughts i had when they talked about the Bible, Printing Press and how the church is basically like potato.
      It is between you and God, not one one else. No church, no family or any person shouls be able to get in your way as all you need is the bible and yourself. It is your personal path to walk .. not theirs.

  • @Argacyan
    @Argacyan 24 дні тому +34

    There is one thing this video either omits or got wrong: The devil isn't just trying to convince Indika, but the game shows him as in dialogue with her. The devil also never lies (while people including the nuns do), but is framed as raising correct criticisms or observations about the world around Indika. The Kudets being a hollow relic people pray to for no reaction in the end is a stand-in for religion being hollow & after she makes that realization, her rosary beads break & spill out on the floor symbolizing her faith being shattered to completion. The devil disappears because she has no faith in christianity anymore, which conjured up the devil in the first place.

    As a Christian I can relate to Indika’s struggles with being holy enough, wrestling with guilt and concerns about a lack of faith. Her story actually reminds me of the struggles of Martin Luther who eventually kickstarted the Protestant Reformation all over the idea that our faith saves us not our works. It’s a shame if Indika lost her faith completely I hope she would find it as it’s not our works that redeems us. It’s only the work of Jesus Christ on the cross that did that. This game also reminds me of the movie Ida which was also about a nun. This game would make a good movie as well but not in the way that it should’ve been one like some games. Thanks for the rundown.

    I really enjoyed this game, but I didn't like the ending. I think it wouldve been much better if Ilya and Indika ended up leaving together and becoming friends; the message could've been that they lost their faith in religion but at least they still had eachother.
    I think they wanted to go with a more realistic ending but really it was just rather depressing, without many redeeming qualities. It basically made the entire plot mostly pointless; just a story about a nun who loses her faith.

      The ending stops short, but anything can happen after the pawn shop including that they left together it's just not shown. However, the game was not made for Indika - it was made for us, the player. More than just a story about a nun, it's made to make us think about ourselves & the world. There's other, more messages (plural) in the story than "people have each other".
