FuRyu announced Crymelight, an action roguelike scheduled to launch worldwide on November 4, 2026 [1]. The game features gameplay similar to Hades, with fast slicing and dicing combat, MMO-style area-of-effect attacks, and a unique deck-building system based on poker hands [1].
The story centers on Alice, who journeys through a Wonderland depicted as an afterlife. She faces her sins while battling to defeat the queen and earn her freedom [1]. The narrative is penned by Naoki Hisaya, known for the visual novel Kanon [1].
Crymelight stands out with a distinctive visual style inspired by pop-up books. It combines a warped Wonderland aesthetic with maximalist and nostalgic picturebook qualities to create a vivid world [1].
A key gameplay element is the "repentance system." Here, Alice confesses her sins and transforms them into power-ups. This mechanic unfolds with a gacha-like animation involving Alice shedding tears [1].
FuRyu, a developer recognized for mid-budget games with unique artistic styles, is behind Crymelight's development [1].
The game will launch in English and is planned for worldwide release on November 4, 2026 [1].
