Furyu has released an update for the limited-time early trial version of its survival TPS 'Anomalis,' currently available on Steam until August 9. The update responds to user reports and fixes two issues: one where entering a specific room after clearing the trial version and obtaining certain items made progress impossible, and another involving document and text data for some items. The company also outlined a policy for further improvements to the 'official trial version' scheduled for October, including mouse operation support for UI elements like the main menu and inventory, fixing a problem where only some keys could be assigned during keyboard operation, expanding key bindings, and adjusting mouse sensitivity. The official trial version is planned for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in addition to Steam. Separately, Furyu announced that 'Anomalis' has reached 60,000 Steam wishlist registrations, with more than 10,000 added within three days of the trial version's release on August 1. The game, with scenario by Romeo Tanaka, is scheduled for release on October 29 for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows (Steam).
- Furyu released the update on August 3, two days after the trial version went live.
- The trial version runs from August 1 to 9 on Steam, and the same window applies to the trial for Furyu's other new title, "Crimelight."
- "Anomalis" includes a collaboration with the movie "Backrooms."
- The protagonist is 17-year-old Reona Minazuki, who investigates a space called the "Otherworld" where grotesque creatures appear, set in Japan with a liminal space and Showa retro atmosphere.
- The team said it is taking user comments such as "But it's Furyu, so..." seriously, and the update responds to those reports.
- On July 25, the official X account announced that Steam wishlist registrations had surpassed 50,000, and teased that "a new project will be revealed when we surpass 60,000."
- Because the 60,000 milestone came "faster than expected," the commemorative content for that number is still in production, and the team says it will be released as soon as preparations are complete.
- The official trial version is planned for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in addition to Steam, and is scheduled for October.
