Anomalith and Crymelight are getting Steam Next Fest demos playable through October 26. Publisher Furyu’s two releases take different approaches to action: one sends you into reality-bending survival horror, while the other turns Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland into a roguelike death game.
Both games are coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2, with launches planned for late October and early November.
Anomalith Mixes Survival Horror With Reality-Bending Powers
In Anomalith, you play as investigator Reona Minazuki, who awakens after a ten-year slumber inside an anomaly called the Sarcophagus. Her newfound sensitivity to the Otherworlds becomes central to finding a missing friend and investigating the zones’ origins.
The environments include an apartment complex with inverted gravity, an endless shopping street, and an unnaturally shifting hallway. Combat combines resource management with 12 upgradeable powers, alongside weapon and outfit customization that affects your stats.
Between expeditions, you’ll return to base to investigate the anomalies and your relationships with other characters.
Anomalith costs $49.99, with a $69.99 Digital Deluxe Edition that includes an art book, a selected soundtrack, and a DLC set. PS5 and Switch 2 preorders receive a 10% discount, while Steam’s discount runs for two weeks after launch.
Crymelight Turns Wonderland Into a Roguelike Death Game
Crymelight follows Alice, a girl who awakens without any memory of who she is. Starting from the Tea Party Hall, she must fight through a death game while confronting her sins.
The game reinterprets familiar Wonderland figures, including the White Rabbit, Cheshire, and the Mad Hatter. Combat uses a five-card Poker System to vary your available skills, while the Wonder Dimension increases your power and speed.
Crymelight launches November 4 for $19.99. Its $39.99 Deluxe Edition adds weapon accessories, a digital soundtrack, a Japanese-language voice drama, and an art book.
PS5 and Switch 2 preorders offer a 10% discount and platform-specific bonus items. Steam players can receive the same discount during launch week.
Collaborations Are Planned for Both Games
Furyu also announced an Anomalith collaboration with cyberpunk immersive sim Peripeteia.
Crymelight has collaborations planned with Garden of Witches, Magical Princess, and Eternal Palace Sakura. Details about what those partnerships include will follow later.
You can find the demos through the Anomalith and Crymelight Steam page.
