Moonless Formless announced Withering Realms for PC early access on Steam, then released it. The announcement set the start for September 3 Japan time; the launch story reports the early access release on September 5. The game is a horror action RPG set in 1926 in the town of Penwyll, with players controlling Clover, a 9-year-old ghost girl, alongside a doll companion made of wood, metal, and human remains.

The two stories agree on the shape of the early access build. It includes the complete story, more than 50 weapons, 70 talismans, 110 creatures, and 7 dungeons. The announcement described the same content as over 50 weapons and items, 110 creature types, and 7 massive dungeons. The launch story adds the 70 talismans and states the full version is planned for 2027.

The studio's previous game, Withering Rooms, holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam and gathered approximately 1,180 Steam user reviews. Withering Realms shares that world setting.
