To mark the milestone, the company published a short story titled '■■ Handwritten Notes Found in the Mountains' on the official X account. The story was written by Tanaka Romeo, who is handling the game's scenario. The short story is meant to convey the game's unsettling atmosphere, where a familiar place gradually becomes one from which there is no return. Furyu plans to release additional special content at each wishlist milestone; when the next goal of 50,000 is reached, an original illustration by character designer MON is scheduled to be released. Anomalith is a survival TPS set in a Showa-era retro Japan. Players investigate a special space called the 'Otherworld,' a liminal space that suddenly appeared, searching for a friend who went missing after being swallowed by it. The game is scheduled for release on October 29, 2026, for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam. The standard edition costs 8,580 yen, while the limited 'Hazard Zone Countermeasures Office BOX' and Digital Deluxe Edition each cost 12,100 yen.","whyItMatters":"The 40,000 wishlist count and the release of a Tanaka Romeo-penned short story suggest Furyu is building pre-release momentum for a title that has drawn attention for its liminal-space horror aesthetic and Showa retro setting.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe short story, titled \u0026#34;■■ Handwritten Notes Found in the Mountains\u0026#34; in the Inside article and \u0026#34;A Notebook Found in the Mountains\u0026#34; in Game Spark\u0026#39;s coverage, is meant to convey the game\u0026#39;s unsettling atmosphere, where \u0026#34;a place that should be an extension of everyday life gradually becomes a place you can never return to.\u0026#34; The story was published on the official X account.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFuryu plans to release additional special content at each wishlist milestone.
