Furyu Opens CRYMELIGHT Demo On Steam Ahead Of November 5 Release
The demo trades the August 1 Battle Trial Version's combat-only slice for the actual game loop, putting card-based builds, confessions that raise stats, and route branching in front of players before the November 5 release.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Furyu began distributing the official CRYMELIGHT demo on Steam on September 17. The roguelike action game, set in the afterlife, casts Alice as a girl who has lost her memories and enters a game in Wonderland to win her freedom. The demo runs from the start of the main game through the end of Chapter 1, an estimated 1.5 to over 3 hours. The full game is planned for November 5 on PC (Steam), PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Furyu describes CRYMELIGHT as a roguelike action game set in the afterlife, where Alice wanders into Wonderland, a prison for the souls of the dead, and learns from her guide the White Rabbit that only the one who defeats the ruler, the Queen, can go free.
The demo is available for a limited time until release, with PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 demos planned for later distribution. Feedback from the Battle Trial Version prompted changes in the official demo, including improvements to the tutorial and in-game explanations of specialized terminology.
