I recently became the new mod of this sub after it became public likely due to mod inactivity, so I thought that I'd make this post to share information about both already released and upcoming games, to spread the word about them.
Monark) is the first entry of a series of bold, artful and soulful games from FuRyu. It was co-directed and co-written by Fuyuki Hayashi, who poured his signature heartfelt messages and hidden meanings seen in his other works (Crystar, Crymachina, Yunyun Syndrome Rhythm Psychosis, etc). It is available on PS4, PS5, Switch, and Windows.
Varlet is FuRyu's spiritual sequel to Monark and the second game in the series, with Fuyuki Hayashi not being involved and being only credited as "Series Original Work". It is available on PS5 (digital only), Switch, and Windows.
Yunyun Syndrome Rhythm Psychosis is Fuyuki Hayashi's first solo game under his new studio Who You. It's a rhythm game and not a J-RPG, but it is just as filled with heart and soul as Hayashi-P's other games. It is available on Steam for only 10 bucks.
I played all of those games and I recommend them very much! I'd be happy to discuss about them anytime.
Fuyuki Hayashi is now working on a new game with his studio Who You and in collaboration with Alliance Arts, Drunken Goddess Reflux (Japanese title: Pukey Goddess Shot Trick). And I'm utterly excited about it. "Please look forward to the release and any further information while you're feeling tipsy/slightly drunk." -Fuyuki Hayashi (source)
FuRyu will soon release their new entry in the "Cry" series, Crymelight, apparently without Fuyuki Hayashi being involved (while he's the heart of the two previous games Crystar and Crymachina). My reactions to the announcement here.
