The demos are available until August 9. Anomalith is a survival TPS set in a fictional Showa-era Japan where players control investigator Reona Minazuki, who explores anomalous spaces known as Otherworlds to find a missing friend. The demo includes improvements based on closed test feedback, such as a new Story difficulty, an always-dash option, and a backlog function. It also features a tie-up with the film Backrooms, with a blue tape door appearing in the demo. Crymelight is a roguelike action game set in an afterlife called Wonderland, where protagonist Alice battles to defeat the Queen of Hearts. The demo includes new boss characters Dam and Dee. Anomalith launches on October 29 for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, while Crymelight launches on November 5 for the same platforms.","whyItMatters":"The demos arrive as Furyu addresses its reputation head-on, with the Anomalith team publicly responding to skepticism and reporting over 50,000 Steam wishlist registrations, signaling a push to win over players before launch.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eFuryu\u0026#39;s demo release coincides with the Six One Demo Days Steam event, which runs through August 9.
