2	Amea (the title character) is a little girl who lives with her worm-monster friend Argos and two boys named Valde and Mish in the midst of a pristine, natural, and tranquil if exotic forest. Suddenly, as she explores her forest home, she runs into the gruesome sight of mutilated corpses overlooked by [[HumanoidAbomination a very tall, dark figure]] speaking her name. Amea wakes from this vision in a mysterious house as a grown woman who remembers nothing about herself other than what she has just seen.

4	In this house, she meets a man named Garrik who is suffering from the same amnesiac condition and who apprises her of what little he knows of the mysterious and deadly town they're currently in. Garrik goes out to explore rather abruptly; almost as soon as he is gone, a zombie starts attacking Amea inside the house. Grabbing a nearby sword and dispatching the creature, Amea goes out to search for answers to her forgotten past and the situation she now finds herself in.

9	!! ''Amea'' contains examples of:
10	* ActionGirl: Amea, natch. Just look at the page picture.
11	* AllJustADream: When the player gets killed, Amea just [[CatapultNightmare abruptly wakes up]] in her bed.
12	* AmnesiacLover: Amea to Valde.
13	* AntiEscapismAesop: [[spoiler:The Eye’s happy world without suffering is [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul portrayed as a bad thing]], and the game ends with Amea defeating the leader of the Eye and releasing his parasitic control over the cultists.]]
14	* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: [[spoiler:Mish has... certainly grown since he was initially seen in the opening flashback.]]
15	* BadassLongcoat: [[spoiler:Present day Mish wears a brown duster trench coat and even a matching hat.]]
16	* BigBad: The one responsible for Amea's memory loss is [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination The Master Eye]], leader of the [[PathOfInspiration Cult of the Eye]] who brainwashes everyone by getting them to gouge their eyes]].
17	* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The main enemies in the second area. A giant two-headed one called the Snow King serves as the boss there.
18	* BoringButPractical: Yes, you can chain combos and knockdown enemies... or you could just wait behind an impenetrable shield and poke your sword into them until they die.
19	* TheCameo: Zombie Inglor, the titular character of another Godlimations game.
20	* CastFromHitPoints: Offense spells cause recoil damage, presumably due to backlash. This can be negated by wearing gloves.
21	* CentralTheme: [[AntiEscapismAesop Running away from the world's problems by hiding behind false truths isn't the answer. No matter how bad the world may be, it is better to walk boldly into the future instead of sacrificing you free will and sense of self for false happiness.]]
22	* DarkFantasy
23	* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:Inglor, a zombie who initially attacks Amea but later helps her destroy the cult]], and Argos, Amea's scary, [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily sharp-toothed]], flying-worm pet. She's seen petting it in the intro, and it can be summoned as an attack later.
24	* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:Mish chose to reject the Eye's "gift" and fled. Unfortunately, by the time Amea reunites with him, he's become an AxCrazy monstrosity that she's forced to put down.]]
25	* DiscOneFinalDungeon[=/=]DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: The Infested Dungeon is where Mish is fought, and he's supposedly the source of all the monsters, but it's revealed he was a [[DefectorFromDecadence defector]] from the Cult of the Eye. Amea has to travel back to Olwren to defeat them.]]
26	* DungeonTown: [[spoiler:Olwren in the endgame, as the inhabitants start fighting Amea to protect their cult.]]
27	* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:[[BigBad The Master]] [[FinalBoss Eye]]]].
28	* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:Undrea]] and [[spoiler:Valde]] to Amea.
29	* ExpositionBreak: [[InfoDump A rather lengthy example]] before and after [[spoiler:the battle with Mish]].
30	* EyeScream: [[spoiler:The cultists gouge out their eyes and replace them with new ones to get the "true sight." Escaping cult control means gouging out the new eyes as well.]]
31	* FishPeople: Mish, judging from his blue skin, Valde calling him "fish-lips", and [[spoiler:keeping a fish tank in one of the rooms in the house right above his Infested Dungeon]].
32	* {{Gorn}}: The body parts really fly in this game.
33	* GameBreakingBug: It is possible, in area 2, to head to the left instead of the right after defeating the boss. If that happens, and you take the elevator... You can't get back down.
34	* HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler:Inglor]] at first, since he's trying to save Amea, and later [[spoiler:[[DefectorFromDecadence Mish]] ([[SanitySlippage sorta]])]].
35	* {{Homage}}: The pause menu is a huge one to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''.
36	* HumanoidAbomination: The trench coat thing seen in the opening dream, [[spoiler:revealed to be Mish]].
37	* ImAHumanitarian: [[spoiler:Mish.]]
38	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Poor Garrik.]]
39	* InsistentTerminology: [[spoiler:The Master Eye refuses to admit that his followers are essentially his slaves, instead insisting that they are his "children".]]
40	* InTheHood: Hoods are used to lengthen Amea's health bar. Turns out to be a case of LazyArtist since [[spoiler:she doesn't need a new character portrait after she gouges her own eyes out]].
41	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Amea, thanks to [[spoiler:The Master]].
42	* LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler:Olwren, the lightest area of the game, is associated with white, but is home to the brainwashing Cult of the Eye that demands its members ''[[EyeScream gouge their own eyes out]]''.]]
43	* MagicKnight: Amea wields both magic and physical weapons.
44	* TheMaster: [[spoiler:The BigBad of the game.]]
45	* {{Metroidvania}}: One of the more linear ones.
46	* NinjaZombiePirateRobot: Reanimated pirate skeletons are found in the beginning area, for no adequately explained reason.
47	* OneWordTitle: The title is Amea, which is a ProtagonistTitle.
48	* ParentalAbandonment: The reason [[spoiler:Amea initially]] joined the Cult of the Eye.
49	* PathOfInspiration: [[spoiler:The Cult of the Eye, which The Master Eye [[InsistentTerminology adamantly insists]] is not just a front for him to enslave people.]]
50	* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling: [[spoiler:The central stairs of Olwren]] contain high-experience enemies, who can be killed two or three at a time to LevelGrind very quickly.
51	* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Inglor]], you could have saved us a lot of time if you'd explained a few things before trying to gouge out Amea's eyes...
52	* ProtagonistTitle: Amea, named after the protagonist, and also a OneWordTitle.
53	* RoadCone: Inglor apparently ''failed'' to find his cure before being zombified. To his credit, he's actually managed to retain his sentience, and [[spoiler:the ending implies Amea may know someone who can help him]].
54	* RPGElements: Skill Points are gained by killing enough enemies, which can be invested into spells and passive powers.
55	* ShoutOut:
56	** The town's name, Lockmarne, sounds like areferrence to the nearly eponymous castle[[note]]Lochmarne[[/note]] in ''VideoGame/BrokenSwordTheShadowOfTheTemplars''
57	** At the end of the game, Amea says that she knows somebody who [[spoiler:can help cure Inglor's zombie curse]]. While she can't remember his exact name, it's obvious that she's referring to [[VideoGame/TheTrappedTrilogy Dan McNeely.]]
58	** The BigBad of the game, [[spoiler:The Master Eye]], sounds a lot like [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} the Overmind]].
59	* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler:Amea to Valde and the Eye itself, decrying their [[AntiEscapismAesop use of paratistic brainwashing to run away from their problems.]]]]
60	* SummonMagic: Used to summon Argos, the flying-worm thing.
61	* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: [[spoiler:Technically, [[DungeonTown Olwren]] is this, but there's not much in it; the [[DiscOneFinalDungeon Infested Dungeon]] is a more traditional example.]]
