IzanagiGames and Acquire have released a free demo for side-scrolling soul-shifting action adventure game AMEDAMA. The new demo was released just a few days after Tokyo Game Show 2023 attendees had the opportunity to try out the game at the IzanagiGames booth.
IzanagiGames exhibited AMEDAMA and DYSCHRONIA: Chronos Alternate Definitive Edition at Tokyo Game Show 2023, allowing players to experience these games for the first time. Today, fans can expect that demo in multiple different language options.
AMEDAMA Steam Demo
Like the full game, the AMEDAMA demo supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese language options. Players will be able to sample a brief portion of the game and learn some of its mechanics before launch later this year. An exact release date has not been announced, but IzanagiGames will likely share more information soon.
Here’s an overview of AMEDAMA, via the official Steam page:
Overview
Yushin and his sister Yui run the local umbrella shop. One evening, as rain falls outside, a group of men burst in, killing Yushin before Yui’s eyes. With nothing but his soul remaining, Yushin must fight tooth and nail, possessing any body he can on the quest to find his sister and uncover the truth behind her disappearance. With only seven days left before his soul fades away, can he save her in time? Transport yourself to feudal Japan in the last years of the Edo period, and experience a tale of rain and reincarnation, brought to life with striking new 2D visuals.
Key Features
- Soul-Shifting Showdowns: Lacking a physical form, you’ll need to shift your soul to other bodies on the quest to find your sister. Possession puts you in complete control of whoever and whatever you inhabit, giving you access to a variety of weapons and fighting styles. Depending on your current body, you’ll face different foes and encounter new faces on your incorporeal journey.
- Reincarnation, Repercussions: As you relive the same seven day period over and over again, your choices will impact the story unfolding around you. Who will you speak to? How will you intervene? The decisions, and the outcomes, are all up to you.
- Inclement Intrigue: This human drama plays out against the rain-soaked backdrop of mid 19th century Japan, rendered in an evocative pixel style. In the sombre world of AMEDAMA, beauty and darkness are two sides of the same coin.
