However, it\u2019s not yet known when the review process will be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On November 4, Valve <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/group\/4145017\/view\/696528162820984745\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> that Steam has been seeing a significant increase in submissions for store page and build review in recent months, causing many developers to wait for review build updates longer than expected. While a reason for CRYMELIGHT\u2019s delay wasn\u2019t explicitly stated, FuRyu suggests that Steam might be late with the pre-release reviews due to the recent spike in submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/dark-alice-in-wonderland-style-action-roguelite-crymelight-gets-new-steam-demo-with-1-5-3-hours-of-gameplay-and-major-updates-based-on-player-feedback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the official Steam demo<\/a>, which was originally scheduled to be removed from the platform on November 5, will be extended until the game releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRYMELIGHT&#8217;s developers apologized to fans for the inconvenience, and explained that they are currently doing their best to complete the review process and release the game as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRYMELIGHT is out now for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
