Amata on Steam

Rage across the mad realm of a dead god as Charlet, the immortal artificer. Explore a vast, arcane desolation wrought by hatred. Cleanse the wicked, twisted inhabitants of ancient, forgotten worlds. Help Charlet find a way home using her powerful and varied suite of combat and platforming abilities.

Whenever I see a word that looks like valid Japanese, I have to look it up because the results can be hilarious sometimes. Don’t worry, though; its only native meaning is a variation on “many/a lot”, and I’ve never heard it. Only other meaning is a figure from Rome. Drop the initial ‘a’, however, and one meaning you get crotch/groin (which is why I thought this one might be amusing). Congrats on your game!

Lmao thank you so much and very good/ amusing etymology! I chose Amata from a sort of synonym for Nirvana in Pali referencing a deathless state:

A synonym widely used for nirvana in early texts is “deathless” or “deathfree” (Pali: amata, sanskrit: amrta) and refers to a condition “where there is no death, because there is also no birth, no coming into existence, nothing made by conditioning, and therefore no time.”
