FuRyu announces action horror game ANOMALITH

ANOMALITH

Japanese developer FuRyu has announced ANOMALITH, a new action horror game where Japan is plagued by “anomaly” monsters.

ANOMALITH is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 with a global release set for October 29th.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

ANOMALITH takes players on a journey deep into the heart of an alternate reality twisted by cryptic forces, a cast of intriguing characters and action-packed gameplay inspired by survival horror and “anomaly horror” classics alike.

The year 19**; Spatial anomalies known as “Otherworlds” have appeared without warning. The government’s “Danger Zone Countermeasures Office” has been unsuccessful in repelling the threat and determining its origin. Players take control of investigator Reona Minazuki, who has been awakened from a 10-year slumber inside an anomaly known as the “Sarcophogus” and acquired a keen sensitivity to the Otherworlds. Working alongside her colleagues and commanding officers, Reona strives not only to protect humanity but help a dear friend.

The Thrill of Survival

Dive into the depths of the Otherworlds, investigate the anomalies and fight your way out by any means necessary. Third-person gunplay keeps you on your toes against enemies that behave erratically and ravenously, while stunned enemies can be melee’d into submission. Explore reality-bending liminal spaces that can both confuse and unsettle the mind, like an apartment with inverted gravity or a train that never ends. Players will need to exercise careful inventory management and situational awareness to keep threats from growing. Influenced by her sensitivity to the Otherworlds, Reona can also acquire and upgrade unique active and passive abilities from the anomalies through the “Demi-Humanization System.”

Customize Your Fighting Style (and Fashion Style)

In a world full of alien threats, you’ll need all the options you can get for dealing damage. ANOMALITH sports a massive variety of weapons, attachments, outfit items and artifacts dole out good (or bad luck) while infusing weapons with additional abilities. Reona’s outfit is just as customizable, with more than 300 customizable items across nine different parts of her figure.

Talent That’s No Anomaly

ANOMALITH brings together some of the industry’s greatest and most promising designers and artists, including Scenario Lead Romeo Tanaka (Stella of the End, Humanity Has Declined), Character Designer MON (Nisio Isin’s Legends Series) and Composer Yuka Kitamura (Elden Ring, Sekiro, Bloodborne, Dark Souls III and Witch Hat Atelier).
