Applications open June 12 through the official Discord server. The demo is limited to the Steam version. A public demo for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC is planned for early October, incorporating feedback from the closed test. The game is set in a fictional Showa-era Japan with SCP-style anomalies and follows protagonist Reona Minazuki as she investigates 'Otherworlds' using firearms and transformation abilities. The scenario is written by Romeo Tanaka. Furyu acknowledged public concerns about the game, particularly given the studio's reputation, and stated it is taking feedback seriously. The full release is scheduled for October 29 on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.","whyItMatters":"By running a closed demo months before launch and promising a public demo based on that feedback, Furyu is signaling an unusually responsive development cycle for a studio whose past titles have drawn skepticism about gameplay polish.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe closed demo application period runs from June 12 at 19:00 JST to June 16 at 23:59 JST.
