CRYMELIGHT Alice Explained: The Amnesiac Sinner at the Heart of Wonderland

Who Is CRYMELIGHT Alice?

CRYMELIGHT Alice is not the Alice you remember from nursery rhymes. She is a 10-year-old amnesiac dropped into Wonderland — a prison for dead souls — handed a name by a White Rabbit, and told the only exit is to defeat a Queen. That framing matters because the CRYMELIGHT Alice character profile is the key that unlocks the rest of FuRyu's roguelite: the story beats, the poker-style card system, and the repentance loop all hinge on who she is and what she is willing to carry.

The rules land fast. Alice wakes with no memory of her life before death, or of the death itself. The White Rabbit names her and leads her to a tea party, where she learns the game's single condition: only the girl who defeats the Queen earns freedom. Alice joins forces with a mysterious stray named Mary and enters the death game to reach the world she cannot remember, per the official CRYMELIGHT Steam page.

Her arc has a cruel mechanic built into it. Every time Alice brushes against another participant's sin, she sees the painful past behind it — memories that return to her and hurt her at the same time.

The Official CRYMELIGHT Alice Profile, Field by Field

FuRyu publishes its protagonist like a character sheet rather than teasing her. Age, height, blood type, and even MBTI type sit next to her role in the story, which gives lore-hunters a fixed reference instead of guesswork.

Two details are worth flagging. Her birthday reads "Unknown," which fits a girl who lost her memories entirely. And her profile includes a Sin entry that the page presents as an icon rather than a written description — a tease rather than a spoiler.

The presentation around her is deliberate, too. The official site credits Naoki Hisaya for plot and story supervision, Sakuzyo for music, and YOGISYA for character design. Alice's profile also describes her as showing no interest in anyone else and never displaying affection toward others — except, perhaps, for Mary. That single caveat does a lot of narrative work.

Alice, Mary, and the White Rabbit: The Relationships That Drive the Plot

Mary is the emotional center of Alice's story, and she is not even a competitor. The official character page describes Mary as an innocent, naive girl who wandered into Wonderland as an uninvited guest rather than a Death Game participant. She has lost her memories much as Alice has, yet a stubborn desire to get home persists in her.

Mary is fond of Alice, to whom she owes a debt of gratitude, and vows to fight for her despite lacking strength. The numbers underline how mismatched they are: Mary is 133 cm tall with an ESFJ personality, standing next to a 139 cm INTJ who barely registers other people.

Then there is the White Rabbit, the guide who runs the game's induction. Her profile is one of the strangest on the site: she looks like a young girl, speaks with surprising maturity, is polite to official participants but harsh toward Mary, and has her mouth sewn shut by the organizer if she talks too much. The profile notes she both fears and loves that organizer, and asks whether that love is her sin.

For players who want more Alice material after the credits, the Digital Deluxe Edition includes a three-track Special Voice Drama — and track three is literally titled "Love (Alice)." FuRyu attaches an explicit spoiler warning to it and advises finishing the game first. The voice drama is Japanese-only.

How Alice Actually Plays: Sin, Wonder Dimension, and Poker Hands

Alice is the mechanical chassis for everything in CRYMELIGHT, which is why her character page doubles as a systems primer. Each ability she gains is framed as something she shoulders rather than something she buys.

• Wonder Dimension: the instant an enemy dies, an indigo field spreads across the battlefield from its dying scream. The more kills, the larger it grows, and the larger it grows, the more it buffs Alice's abilities and speeds up the action. Her acquired skills decide how quickly it expands and how it enhances her.
• Poker System: Alice holds five skill cards at a time and builds poker-style hands. Stronger combinations produce stronger effects, changing her attacks and tactics. After clearing a stage she picks one of three cards — and everything is lost if she falls.
• Repentance System: Alice takes on the sins of the wayward souls she defeats. Their tears of penitence become power-up items, and the screen fills with the final cries of the anguished.
• Powering Up: repentance materials upgrade weapons and accessories, and that progress survives a run reset, so a failed attempt still moves her forward.
• Tea Parties: back at the hub, conversations with the other girls shift each time she rewinds time and can reveal surprising details about enemies she has already killed.
• Mode Select: a close-up side view or a wide overhead view, plus a toggle for the information UI.

FuRyu's spec sheet lists a 20–30 hour play time for a single-player run. The Steam page also flags controller recommendations and rates Steam Deck compatibility as "Playable," as recorded in the store capture below.

The Rest of the Wonderland Cast at a Glance

Alice anchors the roster, but each girl's profile states her age, blood type, and personality type, and each carries a sin the story circles back to.

Cheshire is the one whose sin is spelled out most directly: she enjoyed the occult and urban legends while alive, now delights in the afterlife, and has forgotten the single lie that defines her past. Mad is the opposite case — gentle in demeanor, yet she hunts souls without hesitation because she believes she is saving them. March's refusal to explain her wish is its own small mystery, and her role as hostess means she is often the one pouring the tea during those between-run conversations.

Release Status and Editions: What the Sources Show

Release timing needs care, because the sources do not agree and every status line here is a dated snapshot rather than a live guarantee.

The Automaton announcement piece also frames the game's lineage: it reported CRYMELIGHT as a standalone successor to FuRyu's darker action titles CRYSTAR (2018) and CRYMACHINA (2025), while the official CRYMACHINA Steam listing gives an October 24, 2023 release date. These conflicting non-wiki release-year accounts are retained for reference only. The report also noted that the earlier "Project Alice" codename made far more sense once the Wonderland premise was revealed and described combat in Wonderland with upgrades and story in the Tea Party Hall.

For anyone weighing the Steam Digital Deluxe Edition, the official CRYMELIGHT website lists six DLC items (weapons "Aquamarine Emotions" and "E.V.E," the "Afternoon Tea" item set, and accessories "Cheshire's Sin," "Mad's Sin," and "March's Sin"), an 80-page artbook called "Partygoers' Memoirs," a 30-track complete soundtrack, and the three-track voice drama. Nintendo's Switch 2 Deluxe listing instead specifies an 11-track special soundtrack.

Steam lists Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean text with Japanese-only full audio; console text-language support varies by regional storefront, so check the specific console SKU. Minimum specs on Steam call for Windows 10 64-bit, a Core i7-6700 or Ryzen 5 1600, 16 GB of RAM, a GeForce RTX 2060 6GB or Radeon RX 5600, DirectX 11, and 10 GB of storage. FURYU’s official site displays an ESRB Teen rating for Language, Blood, and Violence, while Game Informer displays “Everyone 10+”; these conflicting non-wiki snapshots are for reference only.

FAQ

Is Alice the main character of CRYMELIGHT? Yes. Alice is the protagonist and a Death Game participant, and the story's central mystery — why the Queen built Wonderland and what waits for the victor — is told through her. She is also the character who mechanically carries the Repentance System.

How old is CRYMELIGHT Alice, and how tall is she? According to her official profile, Alice is 10 years old, 139 cm tall, blood type O, with an INTJ personality and an unknown birthday. Mary is listed at 133 cm, making the pair deliberately small even by anime standards.

How closely does CRYMELIGHT Alice follow Lewis Carroll's Alice? The game borrows the furniture — Wonderland, a Queen, a White Rabbit, a Cheshire, a tea party — and rebuilds it as a prison for dead souls. It's a dark reimagining rather than an adaptation, and Automaton reported it as a standalone successor to CRYSTAR and CRYMACHINA rather than a sequel to either.

Can I play CRYMELIGHT Alice's story on Steam yet? Check the store page before you plan anything. As of the 2026-11-07 capture, the CRYMELIGHT Steam listing showed "Coming soon," "No user reviews," and "This item is not yet available," alongside a posted release notice and apology dated November 4–5, 2026 (JST). The official site captured the same day showed a "NOW ON SALE" banner, so confirm platform availability directly at the source.
