Today I'll start my first Let's Play, with Shin Megami Tensei. It's also the precursor to the Persona series.

It's a game I've wanted to play for a while, and discovering Aeon Genesis's English patch has made me finally decide to give it a go.

It's a game which takes its premise from the novel Digital Devil Story by Aya Nishitani: demons invade our world through computers, and using your computer is a pivotal aspect of the game, allowing you to communicate with demons, checking the map, etc. It's a first person role playing game, like an old-school dungeon crawler.
One could say this game is proto-Pokémon, but its demon-aquiring system is a bit more intricate: you can bully, seduce or buy a demon to your side. Once they are in your party, you have to sustain them with Magnetite, and summon them for a fee.

Anyway, let's get started!

Cue mysterious music. I am in a pink labyrinth, which distorts. I make a couple of step forwards when suddenly:

Who dares attempt to pass this place!

I'm going to be honest, I'm useless at finding names for my characters.

Identify thyself!

That is my name.

I have dormant power.

Oh man, I'm a bit into this game right now and while I'm not a fan of first person dungeon crawlers, I must say SMT is surprisingly good.

The introduction to the game is rather long, so there'll probably be one more post like this and then it should be a lot lighter.
Continuing my foray into this labyrinth.
