Japanese game publisher FuRyu has officially unveiled the opening sequence for CRYMELIGHT, the latest entry in its line of dark thematic action titles. The newly published trailer highlights the game's theme song, "Love and Guilt," performed by voice actress Hitomi Sekine in character as Mary.
Dark Roguelike Journey
Positioned as a direct spiritual sibling to 2018's CRYSTAR and 2023's CRYMACHINA, CRYMELIGHT shifts the franchise into roguelike action territory while retaining its signature emotional narrative tone. Players will navigate a world divided between "Wonderland"—a bleak prison structure housing the souls of the departed—and "The Tea Party," a quiet sanctuary designed to give refuge to young girls burdened by remorse.
FuRyu provided the official premise outlining the journey ahead:
Following the events of 2019's CRYSTAR and 2023's CRYMACHINA, CRYMELIGHT follows a young girl known only as “Alice” after she wakes up with no memories of her past and discovers she must journey to the lowest layer of Purgatory to earn her “Rebirth.” Alice must set out from the Tea Party Hall, defeat enemies born from the depths of madness, and confess and confront the sins she has committed, undergoing immense emotional growth in the process.
Veteran Creative Team
The project reunites key creative talent behind previous entries in the series. Industry veteran Naoki Hisaya returns to supervise the narrative, supported by returning musical composer Sakuzyo and animator RIRI Yamashita. Character designs are spearheaded by artist YOGISYA.
Key personnel and features include:
- Scenario Supervisor: Naoki Hisaya
- Soundtrack Composer: Sakuzyo
- Animator: RIRI Yamashita
- Character Designer: YOGISYA
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, PC (Steam)
CRYMELIGHT is scheduled to launch on November 5. Alongside the standard release, a deluxe edition will feature six DLC items, a digital artbook, three voice drama audio tracks, and an 11-track digital soundtrack album.
