Why it matters
Two small roguelike action games are sharing a November 5 date and selling it as a joint bundle, which is a practical answer to launching next to a much larger release: pool the audience instead of splitting it.
Key Facts
- Furyu will release CRYMELIGHT on November 5.
- Shochiku Games will release Mugen Sakura Roukaku on the same day.
- Takumi Isobe of Furyu is producer and director of CRYMELIGHT.
- Hosenka of Denneko Yugi is the representative of the circle developing Mugen Sakura Roukaku.
- The Steam version of CRYMELIGHT has been delayed due to Valve's review process.
In an interview with Automaton, producer and director Takumi Isobe of Furyu and Hosenka of Denneko Yugi said the two titles are allies rather than rivals. The two games will offer a release-commemoration collaboration bundle. The Steam version of CRYMELIGHT has been delayed by Valve's review process and is scheduled for release at a later date.
Takumi Isobe, who is producer and director of CRYMELIGHT at Furyu, sat down with Hosenka of Denneko Yugi and Shochiku Games' Kunihiro Tamaki and Yuki Kyoi for a joint discussion. In it, the creators said the matching release date was a decision to build excitement together rather than compete. CRYMELIGHT is a 3D roguelike in which girls who have committed crimes fight in the afterlife world of Wonderland, and its heroine, Alice, has lost her memories. Mugen Sakura Roukaku is a 2D roguelite in which the cat-eared protagonist, Letra Stoltin, enters an infinitely rising tower and becomes trapped inside. The collaboration bundle is timed to the Steam release of CRYMELIGHT, which has been pushed back by Valve's review process.
