Indie game Ikeelya blends assassination with interior design in quirky adventure

The indie game Ikeelya combines the life of an assassin with interior design. Players control Barry, who juggles assassination contracts while dreaming of creating a cozy home. The game features humorous dialogue and a quirky neighbor who offers decorating jobs. Ikeelya allows players to switch between sniper missions and home decoration tasks. Players can customize Barry's apartment and take on freelance gigs, like redesigning rooms for neighbors. The game is available for free on itch.io, allowing players to pay what they want. Originally created for a game jam, Ikeelya has been refined by co-creators Cukia Kimani and Henrike Lode. The updated version enhances gameplay and depth, making it a unique experience that contrasts the tension of assassination with the joy of home design.
