CRYMELIGHT surfaced in early July as a FuRyu roguelike action game with a Steam Deluxe Edition, an introduction trailer, and a 50,000-wishlist milestone on Steam. The game is set in the prison Wonderland, where Alice, a girl who has lost her memories, fights using sins and playing cards across a run structure. The deluxe editions for console and Steam include six DLC items, a digital art book titled Memoirs of the Invited, a special soundtrack, and a special voice drama, with the Steam version adding a 30-track BGM set by composer Sakura. Standard pricing is 3,278 yen and the Steam Deluxe Edition is 6,900 yen.
Through August and September FuRyu used public events and a Steam demo to put the game in front of players before launch. A demo was shown at Six One Demo Days from August 1, then at gamescom 2026, PAX WEST 2026, and Tokyo Game Show 2026. The formal Steam demo opened September 17, running from the opening through the end of Chapter 1 with an estimated 1.5 to over 3 hours of play, and it replaces the earlier battle-only trial version, which ended distribution the same day. The demo includes story, battle, and the Tea Party hub.
On September 17 FuRyu also posted the opening video, which previews the theme song Love and Guilt performed by Hitomi Sekine as her character Mary. The release date is November 5 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, with a deluxe edition that adds six DLC items, a digital artbook, and a digital album with 11 soundtrack songs and three voice drama tracks.
At Tokyo Game Show 2026 the playable build showed the poker layer: skill cards carry suits and numbers, and forming a five-card poker hand triggers multipliers and effects. A hands-on found combat nimble and punishing. The choice between immediate raw power and long-term hand construction is the tension FuRyu is selling.

At Tokyo Game Show, attendees can play a complete demo of CRYMELIGHT covering the main story from its start, including battles, plus the latest ANOMALITH demo that incorporates the September update. Furyu also released an update for the ANOMALITH demo currently on Steam, based on user feedback. The update adds mouse support for menus and inventory, expands keyboard key bindings, adds mouse sensitivity adjustment, allows recovery items to be used via shortcut, and adjusts player animations. ANOMALITH is a survival third-person shooter set in a Showa-era Japan where players explore anomalous spaces.

Aug 6
Furyu announced that ANOMALITH and CRYMELIGHT will be exhibited at Six One Demo Days, starting August 1 on Steam. Playable demos for both titles will be available for about one week. The ANOMALITH demo reflects feedback from the June closed test, while CRYMELIGHT's demo updates action and UI from its BitSummit PUNCH version.
Jul 26
Furyu announced on July 25 that a limited-time demo for its survival third-person shooter Anomalith will launch on Steam from August 1 to August 8. The demo is part of the Six One Demo Days event, a week-long showcase organized by Six One Indie that features around 250 game demos. Anomalith is set in a fictional Showa-era Japan where players control 17-year-old Reona Minazuki, an investigator for the Special Hazard Zone Countermeasures Office searching for a missing friend in anomalous spaces called Otherworlds. The game combines exploration, resource management, and combat against creatures called Anomalies, with 12 unique transformation abilities. A closed demo test held from June 19 to June 28 drew roughly 75% positive responses, with only 18% of participants listing Furyu titles among their favorite games, suggesting the title appeals beyond the studio's existing fanbase. Feedback from that test prompted adjustments including the addition of a Story difficulty and a constant dash setting, which will be in the August demo. Anomalith is scheduled for full release on October 29 for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. A separate demo for Furyu's roguelike action game Crymelight will also be available during the same event.
