Amata Games is a studio and indie publishing brand with one launched title, Shinjuku Anomaly, out on Steam, and three other projects in development: the Crescent Tower sequel, and an officially licensed VR adaptation of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies set for 2027.
Amata Games operates both as a studio and as an indie publishing brand. Its announced slate spans horror, dungeon RPGs, and licensed VR, and its titles appear on Steam and on Meta Quest headsets and Meta VR Glasses.
Shinjuku Anomaly, the horror visual novel, launched for PC via Steam on September 30, 2026. A trailer went out with the date. The game casts the player as a part-time photographer sent to capture anomalies in Shinjuku at night under four rules, including staying close enough for a clear shot but not too close, and returning to the agency when the film runs out. It supports English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Before that launch, the studio's booth at Tokyo Horror Special Zone!!, held September 11 to 13 at Tokyo Dome City Prism Hall, had offered playable units for Shinjuku Ihen, Kinki Reimu Kyoku, and Manny's.
The studio's largest announced project is an officially licensed VR version of CAPCOM's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies for Meta Quest headsets and Meta VR Glasses, set for 2027. It will include English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese language support, and players take the roles of Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes in the fifth mainline Ace Attorney game, originally released for Nintendo 3DS in 2013.
On the Steam side, AMATA Games announced on August 31, 2026 that it will release Crescent Tower: RISING, the sequel to the 8-bit style open dungeon RPG Crescent Tower, on Steam. The release date and price are undecided. Solo developer kare-korokke, who also made the original, is developing it. The sequel keeps the strategic command battles and mapping-based exploration of the first game, while adding a five-chapter omnibus story and a new growth system. The story follows different protagonists, including humans, former frogs, beastfolk, elves, and dragons, who each explore their own dungeons before uniting to conquer the Mikazuki Tower. The class count expands from nine in the original to 14, and a new skill block system lets players place skills of different shapes onto a skill board to customize characters. Skills can also be used in field exploration, such as a dragon character's flame ability clearing obstacles. Estimated playtime is 15 to 25 hours, up from 10 to 20 hours in the original. Supported languages include Japanese, English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, German, and French.
