CRYMELIGHT costs ¥2,980 for the Japanese standard download, $19.99 on the US eShop, and HK$156 / NT$660 / ₩29,600 for the Asian standard download. The Deluxe Edition runs ¥5,980 in Japan and HK$280 in Asia, and the physical Tea Party BOX is ¥9,980 or HK$468. Steam had no price listed before launch.
Japan
| Edition | Format | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Download | ¥2,980 (¥3,278 with tax) |
| Deluxe — Switch 2 / PS5 | Download | ¥5,980 (¥6,578 with tax) |
| Deluxe — Steam | Download | ¥6,273 (¥6,900 with tax) |
| Standard | Physical | ¥3,980 (¥4,378 with tax) |
| Tea Party BOX | Physical | ¥9,980 (¥10,978 with tax) |
The Japanese list prints prices before tax and the tax-inclusive figure next to it, which is why the same edition appears to cost two different amounts on two different pages. The ¥6,273 Steam Deluxe is the one line that differs from its console counterpart, and it is the version that carries 30 soundtrack tracks instead of 11.
North America
The US eShop lists the standard edition at $19.99. During the pre-order promotion the price was $17.99, and the page attached an explicit end to that discount: November 4 at 02:59 p.m. UTC, or 23:59 in Japan.
There is no Deluxe Edition and no physical edition on that storefront. A North American buyer who wants either is looking at the Asian release or at Steam.
Asia
| Edition | HKD | TWD | KRW |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard — download | HK$156 | NT$660 | ₩29,600 |
| Deluxe — download | HK$280 | NT$1,190 | ₩53,300 |
| Standard — physical | HK$194 | NT$830 | ₩37,000 |
| Tea Party BOX — physical | HK$468 | NT$1,980 | ₩88,900 |
These are Clouded Leopard Entertainment's prices for the Asian release, which is also the only console version with the full five-language subtitle set. The price premium over Japan is modest; the language difference is the reason to pay it.
Steam
In the days before launch the Steam page showed a release date and a countdown but no price. FURYU had not opened pre-orders on PC, so the store's price field was empty right up to release day.
That makes the PC version the one price nobody can quote in advance. The regional console figures above are the only anchors, and they suggest where it will land rather than what it will be.
Why the same game costs different amounts
Three things drive the spread, and none of them is the game.
- Tax presentation. Japan prints the pre-tax price and the tax-inclusive price side by side, so a ¥2,980 game is ¥3,278 at checkout. The US price is quoted tax-exclusive and varies by state.
- Regional pricing policy. The Asian release is priced by a different publisher, Clouded Leopard Entertainment, which sets its own HKD, TWD and KRW tiers rather than converting from yen.
- Format. A boxed copy carries manufacturing and distribution costs that a download does not, which is why the Japanese physical standard is ¥3,980 against ¥2,980 for the same content digitally.
None of these explain the whole gap. The US price of $19.99 is roughly ¥3,100 at recent rates, close to the Japanese download version but well below the Japanese physical one.
Which one to buy
If you want the cheapest way to play, the Japanese or US standard download is the floor, and Steam will likely land in the same band once it opens. If you want Chinese or Korean subtitles on a console, the Asian release is the only option regardless of price.
If you want the soundtrack, the calculation changes entirely: the Steam Deluxe carries 30 tracks, the console Deluxe carries 11, and the 30-track album is also sold separately on Steam. Paying the console premium for a shorter album is the one purchase on this list that is hard to justify.
What the tax line adds
Japan's prices are printed twice because consumption tax is 10% and the publisher shows both figures. The standard download goes from ¥2,980 to ¥3,278, the Deluxe from ¥5,980 to ¥6,578, and the Tea Party BOX from ¥9,980 to ¥10,978. What you pay at a Japanese checkout is the second number.
The US price works the other way. $19.99 is quoted before sales tax, and the amount added depends on the state — a buyer in Oregon pays $19.99, a buyer in California pays more. That is why the US figure looks lower than the Japanese one even before the exchange rate: one is quoted with tax, the other without.
The Asian prices are quoted as a single figure per currency, in the convention that storefront uses. Treat them as the amount on the store page rather than the amount after tax.
Is the Deluxe Edition worth the difference
In Japan the gap between the standard and Deluxe downloads is ¥3,000 — 5,980 against 2,980. For that you get a six-item DLC set, an 80-page digital artbook, a soundtrack and a three-track voice drama.
Price the pieces and the answer changes by platform. On Steam the soundtrack alone is a separate product, so the Deluxe is effectively the game plus five other extras; on console the soundtrack is the shorter 11-track version and is not sold separately at all. If the music is what you want, the Steam Deluxe is the only version where the album is also available on its own.
The one purchase that is hard to justify is the console Deluxe for the soundtrack. Paying the upgrade price for 11 tracks when 30 exist on another platform is a decision worth making with your eyes open.
The version that is not on any price list
Steam had no price in the week before launch. That makes the PC version the only one where the number was unknown until the store flipped, and it is why this page quotes three regions rather than four.
If you are budgeting for the PC release, the Japanese download price of ¥2,980 and the US $19.99 bracket where it will land. Neither is a quote.
