Shin Megami Tensei if...
0 plays 1994 #RPG
Shin Megami Tensei If…, stylized as Shin Megami Tensei if…, is a role-playing video game developed and published by Atlus exclusively released in Japan in 1994 for the Super Famicom. It is a spin-off from the Shin Megami Tensei series, itself part of the larger Megami Tensei franchise. Since release, it has been ported to mobile devices, PlayStation and Microsoft Windows; it had also been re-released on the Virtual Console in Japan on Wii in 2011 and Wii U in 2013, as well as the Nintendo Classics service in 2021. The story follows a student of Karukozaka High School after their school is sucked into the realm of demons by a vengeful student's demon summoning spell going wrong.
Shin Megami Tensei If… was developed as a change from previous Shin Megami Tensei titles, focusing on a small-scale environment and threat rather than a large-scale environment as in previous titles. Upon release, If… received a positive reception from critics and fans, and inspired multiple tie-in print adaptations and a mobile prequel. Positive response to its setting and spin-off status was the impetus for the creation of the spin-off Persona and Devil Summoner series.
It came out only in Japan; this version has an unofficial English fan translation.
