AMEDAMA Update Adds New ‘RIP Quest’ Content

IzanagiGames and Acquire announced a free update for AMEDAMA is now available on PC via Steam, featuring new “RIP Quest” content. The update also features performance improvements. 

In AMEDAMA, players may now undertake requests, known as a RIP Quest, from ghosts lingering around the map. Yushin can help these ghosts find peace and pass on by completing their respective RIP Quest. While progressing the main story, Yushin may develop a greater spiritual sense and see more ghosts. 

When a RIP Quest is completed, the player will receive a memento. Each memento reduces the rate at which Yushin’s Soul Glow diminishes by 1%. RIP Quests are not affected by time and date, so players may progress these quests as they wish, even if Yushin reincarnates. 

Here’s a breakdown of the latest AMEDAMA update:

New features

• The RIP Quest 

• New Achievements

Improvements

• Reduced Processing Load

• New Resolutions Supported

• Performance Enhancements

• NPC Movement Improvements

• Minor Bug Fixes

As noted in Final Weapon’s AMEDAMA early access review, the game came a long way in development. A pre-release update for the game and demo added character voices, controller vibration support, and several quality-of-life improvements. The game will continue to receive updates leading into its inevitable full launch. 

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.
