ANOMALITH is a survival third-person shooter from Furyu, set in a Showa-era Japan with liminal spaces called Otherworlds. The player controls 17-year-old Reona Minazuki, an investigator searching for a missing friend. The scenario is written by Romeo Tanaka, character designs by MON, and music by Tomoka Kitamura, with the main theme composed by Yuka Kitamura. The game is developed by Winning Entertainment Group and published by Furyu.
Furyu's pre-release cycle has been unusually responsive to feedback. A closed demo in June drew roughly 75% positive responses, and the company selected all applicants after initially planning a lottery. Feedback led to a Story difficulty and a constant dash setting in the August public demo. That demo, initially limited to August 1 to 8, was extended indefinitely after drawing about 20,000 new registrations. A September update adds improvements based on closed demo feedback and keyboard/mouse controls, with later updates adding high-difficulty content and demos for Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5.
Wishlist registrations grew from 30,000 in May to 40,000 in June and past 70,000 by August. Each milestone brought special content, including a short story by Tanaka Romeo and a 13-second video. ANOMALITH will be playable at gamescom 2026, PAX WEST 2026, and Tokyo Game Show 2026, alongside CRYMELIGHT. The game releases October 29.

Aug 8
Furyu announced on August 8 that the Steam wishlist count for its survival TPS Anomalith has surpassed 70,000, just days after reaching 60,000. Alongside the announcement, the company released the postponed 60,000 milestone commemorative content, a 13-second video described as a brief moment spent at the base, usually filled with tension. The wishlist milestone follows the early access demo's launch on August 1, which drew approximately 20,000 new registrations and exceeded expectations. In response to the response, Furyu also withdrew the demo's August 9 end date, making it available indefinitely on Steam. Updates to the demo are planned sequentially: late August brings improvements based on closed demo feedback and keyboard and mouse controls, late September adds new high-difficulty content, and early October introduces demo versions for Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5. Anomalith is scheduled for release on October 29 for PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and PS5. The game features a scenario by Romeo Tanaka, character design by MON, and music by Tomoka Kitamura.
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.

Furyu announced that its upcoming survival third-person shooter Anomalith has surpassed 40,000 Steam wishlist registrations. 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.
