IzanagiGames and Acquire announced side-scrolling soul-shifting action adventure game AMEDAMA will enter Steam Early Access on March 22. The game will be playable to the very end in the Early Access Version.
In September 2023, IzanagiGames exhibited AMEDAMA and DYSCHRONIA: Chronos Alternate Definitive Edition at Tokyo Game Show 2023. A free demo was also released on PC via Steam after Tokyo Game Show concluded, allowing players at home to try out the game for themselves. AMEDAMA was subsequently delayed to early 2024, as the developers worked toward narrowing down a release date.
AMEDAMA Steam Early Access Launch and Discount
The Steam Early Access version of AMEDAMA will be available on March 22 for $24.99. From March 22 to April 5, Steam users may purchase the game with a 10% discount during the Early Access Launch Sale. Players will have access to the entire game during Early Access, and minor adjustments and features will be implemented based on user feedback.

AMEDAMA is a very promising new action game, as noted in Final Weapon’s AMEDAMA demo preview. Lastly, 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.
