Evaluation

AMEDAMA launched into Early Access in early 2024 and graduated to its full 1.0 release on September 12, 2024. During and after the Early Access period, IzanagiGames delivered a steady stream of content updates: difficulty options (April 5, 2024), the RIP Quest system (July 24, 2024), Memory Quests and a mini-game (September 6, 2024), and finally the "Yushin's Infinite Slash" battle mode on November 21, 2024 — the most recent substantive addition to the game. Since November 21, 2024, there have been no further updates to AMEDAMA itself. The only DLC released is the Original Soundtrack (March 10, 2025), which is supplemental rather than gameplay content. IzanagiGames' recent communications have focused entirely on other titles in their portfolio — AKIBA LOST (announced November 4, 2025) and Dark Auction (launched January 28, 2026) — with no mention of additional AMEDAMA content. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced future updates, and no outstanding developer commitments visible for AMEDAMA. The update activity ended with the November 2024 battle mode addition, and the studio has moved on to other projects. The game appears to have shipped as a complete experience.

About this game

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.


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.


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.


Counteraction using the sword technique of Usetsu Tensei sword style: Where Yushin, having mastered the key to battles, employs the technique known as 'Misty Riposte.' By countering the opponent's attacks, significant damage is dealt in a counteraction.



Aihama, Japan. The final years of the Edo period. One rain-drenched evening, a group of men burst into the town’s brother and sister-run umbrella shop. Yushin is cut down in front of his sister Yui, leaving her alone in the world. The next thing he knows, he is looking down at his own stricken corpse—a soul without a body. The grim incident shatters the peace in this quiet backwater. Lurking beneath the surface is an intricate, deep-rooted plot, shrouded in mystery. Until Yui is safe, not even death is enough to extinguish Yushin’s soul. He'll stop at nothing on his quest, shifting from body to body, possessing anyone and anything to rescue his sister. But with just seven days before his soul departs this world—can he save Yui in time?

This is a tale of rain, reincarnation, and revenge.
