Amedama

Amedama is a story-driven game set in Aihama, Japan, in the final years of the Edo period. After a group of men attack the umbrella shop Yushin runs with his sister Yui, they kill him in front of her. Yushin awakens as a bodiless soul, and sets out to protect Yui and uncover the plot behind the attack before his soul leaves the world in seven days.

Possess bodies to fight

Yushin shifts his soul into other people and objects, taking control of whatever he inhabits. Each body gives him access to different weapons and fighting styles, and leads him to different foes and people. In combat, he can use the Misty Riposte technique from the Usetsu Tensei sword style to counter attacks and deal significant damage.

Relive seven days

The story repeats the same seven-day period. Your choices about whom to speak to and how to intervene affect how events unfold, as Yushin tries to save Yui. The game tells this human drama against a rain-soaked backdrop, rendered in pixel art.
