CRYMELIGHT surfaced in early July as a FuRyu roguelike action game with a Steam Deluxe Edition, an introduction trailer, and a 50,000-wishlist milestone on Steam. The game is set in the prison Wonderland, where Alice, a girl who has lost her memories, fights using sins and playing cards across a run structure. The deluxe editions for console and Steam include six DLC items, a digital art book titled Memoirs of the Invited, a special soundtrack, and a special voice drama, with the Steam version adding a 30-track BGM set by composer Sakura. Standard pricing is 3,278 yen and the Steam Deluxe Edition is 6,900 yen.
Through August and September FuRyu used public events and a Steam demo to put the game in front of players before launch. A demo was shown at Six One Demo Days from August 1, then at gamescom 2026, PAX WEST 2026, and Tokyo Game Show 2026. The formal Steam demo opened September 17, running from the opening through the end of Chapter 1 with an estimated 1.5 to over 3 hours of play, and it replaces the earlier battle-only trial version, which ended distribution the same day. The demo includes story, battle, and the Tea Party hub.
On September 17 FuRyu also posted the opening video, which previews the theme song Love and Guilt performed by Hitomi Sekine as her character Mary. The release date is November 5 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, with a deluxe edition that adds six DLC items, a digital artbook, and a digital album with 11 soundtrack songs and three voice drama tracks.
At Tokyo Game Show 2026 the playable build showed the poker layer: skill cards carry suits and numbers, and forming a five-card poker hand triggers multipliers and effects. A hands-on found combat nimble and punishing. The choice between immediate raw power and long-term hand construction is the tension FuRyu is selling.

At the Tokyo Game Show 2026 event stage on September 20, the teams behind three action roguelites met at UKIYO GAME BAR in Yurakucho, Tokyo, for a cross-border discussion. The participants were Xiao Yu, producer of MyACG Studio's Cinderia from China; Kim Minseu, lead programmer of Team Tapas's Witch's Garden from Korea; and Takumi Isogai, producer and director of Furyu's CRYMELIGHT from Japan. Asked why they built roguelites, the answers split. Xiao Yu said the genre keeps production costs down because the same scenes can be reused, which suits small teams. Kim Minseu said an early prototype closer to Vampire Survivors led the team to look for a genre that would let strong animation and action carry a project at limited cost. Isogai said CRYMELIGHT needed repeated retries for its story and staging, and that Hades raised the genre's recognition in Japan.

Furyu began distributing a free demo for its roguelike action game CRYMELIGHT on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 on October 22, following an earlier PC demo on Steam. The console demo includes the entire first chapter of the main game, which Furyu estimates at 1.5 to 3 or more hours of play. Players control Alice, an amnesiac girl summoned to a prison called Wonderland, where invited guests fight to defeat the Queen and win freedom. The demo covers the basic loop: story scenes, battles using attacks, strong attacks, invincible dodges and grabs, and skill cards that combine like poker hands to raise effect levels. A second trailer, Feature Battle, also went live, showing the Anchor weapon plus Spear and Magic. Furyu plans to adjust Story mode difficulty after 55.6 percent of Steam demo players who chose Story mode picked the hardest setting. The full game is scheduled for November 5 on PS5, Switch 2 and PC.

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.
