The pre-launch campaign for Furyu's survival shooter Anomalis (rendered ANOMALITH in several stories) has run through game shows and a Steam demo since late July. Playable demos appeared at ChinaJoy 2026, which ran July 31 to August 3, at PAX West 2026 from September 4 to September 7, and at Tokyo Game Show 2026 starting September 17. The game appeared at gamescom 2026 earlier. The setting is a Showa-retro Japan where investigator Reona Minazuki explores Otherworlds that appear without warning. Combat combines customizable gun action and Aberration Skills. Scenario is by Romeo Tanaka.
The Steam demo, released August 1 as part of the Six One Demo Days event and available until August 9, added a Story difficulty, an always-dash option, and a backlog function based on closed test feedback. An August 5 patch fixed two issues: one where entering a specific room after clearing the trial and obtaining certain items made progress impossible, and one involving document and text data for some items. Furyu also outlined fixes for the official October trial, including mouse operation support for UI elements, broader key bindings, and adjusted mouse sensitivity.
Wishlist counts moved quickly. The game passed 60,000 Steam registrations after the August 1 demo, with more than 10,000 added in three days. It passed 80,000 by September 16, when a demo update added a Survival mode and Furyu revealed a collaboration illustration by Hoshi, creator of Lost Property Control Organization. By October 20 it passed 120,000, up from the 100,000 threshold Furyu marked with a celebration video featuring Reona Minazuki and Arisa Kato. Furyu's roguelike action game Crimelight, also known as Crymelight, passed 77,700 wishlists, bringing the two titles to a combined 200,000.
MON handled character design around Showa retro, liminal space, and anomalous phenomena. Composer Tomoka Kitamura says she took the job after seeing MON's concept art and built field and battle music from Japanese everyday sounds such as shopping street speakers and town time signals. A collaboration with Peripeteia, a cyberpunk immersive sim from Poland-based 9th Exodus, is set, with details to be announced.
