TOKYO – September 6, 2024 – IzanagiGames, Inc. (located in Koto-ku, Tokyo, and led by CEO/Producer Shinsuke Umeda) has announced that a major update for AMEDAMA will be implemented today,September 6th, at 12:00 PM (JST). This update introduces the “Memory Quests” and the “Chinchirorin” mini-game in the gambling den, along with improvements such as reduced processing load and UI enhancements. AMEDAMA is a side-scrolling, soul-shifting sandbox action adventure game being developed in conjunction with ACQUIRE Corp. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and led by President Takuma Endo)—the company behind titles such as What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord? and Way of the Samurai.

About Memory Quests
The “Memory Quests” allows players to experience the past memories of key characters they have defeated. After defeating a key character for the first time, seven days will pass, and upon reincarnation, the protagonist Yushin gains the ability to see objects imbued with the lingering thoughts of these characters.

By approaching and interacting with these lingering thoughts scattered across the map, Yushin can enter a world of the character’s past memories and begin the quest. During the quest, players experience the memories as the key character themselves, meaning they cannot possess others or use the Kirisame Gaeshi technique unless the character they are inhabiting knows it.

Completing the memory sequence successfully completes the quest, returning the player to the original world. If a player wishes to return to the original world before completing the quest, they can do so from the menu, but they will have to restart the quest from the beginning upon re-entering.

Upon completing the Memory Quest, players will receive a keepsake. Each keepsake obtained will reduce the rate at which your Soul Glow diminishes by 1%.

About “Chinchirorin” Mini-Game in the Gambling Den

“Chinchirorin” is a mini-game where players roll three dice to determine the outcome. The result is determined by the numbers on the three dice, which dictate the win or loss.

Players can talk to the gambler standing outside the gambling den in the post town, who will allow them to enter and play Chinchirorin.To play, players must set a bet, with a minimum wager of 100 mon. The outcome of the dice roll will either increase or decrease the player’s funds according to the wager.

About AMEDAMA

AMEDAMA is a brand new side-scrolling, soul-shifting sandbox action adventure game from ACQUIRE and IzanagiGames, featuring character design from lack (Fate/Grand Order, Touken Ranbu), and music from Yuko Komiyama (Monster Hunter series). AMEDAMA’s historical Japanese setting is brought to life with a striking pixel-art style.

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, possession, and reincarnation, brought to life with striking new 2D visuals.
