Indika developer Odd Meter has secured $5 million in a funding round led by Gem Capital and Autotelic Ventures.
The investment will fund the studio’s next project and support its expansion while maintaining creative independence.
“This round gives the studio the runway to grow the team and stay fully focused on building its next game,” said Odd Meter CEO Dmitry Svetlow.
“We’re grateful to Gem Capital and Autotelic Ventures for their support and trust in our vision. We’re applying everything we learned from Indika to a new project that pushes our narrative and artistic goals further, while scaling production to a new level.”
Founded in 2017 in Russia, Odd Meter relocated most of its team to Almaty, Kazakhstan, during Indika’s development due to the war in Ukraine.
Indika was released in 2024 and won Game of the Year and Best Narrative at the 2025 Games for Change Awards.
It also received nominations at The Game Awards, BAFTA Game Awards, Golden Joystick Awards, and DICE Awards.
“Odd Meter has shown that deeply authored, narrative-focused games can achieve both critical acclaim and global visibility,” said Gem Capital managing director Roman Gurskiy.
“Indika stood out not only creatively, but also in how strongly it resonated with audiences and industry peers. With the studio’s next project, the team has the opportunity to build something larger and more ambitious, while preserving the distinctive creative voice that made Indika stand out. We see strong long-term potential in the team and their next chapter.”
Autoelic Ventures CEO Vladislav Korotkov added: “Odd Meter has proven its ability to execute ambitious ideas at a high level. We believe the studio is well-positioned to deliver another standout title with global relevance.”
