About
Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei is the first role-playing game in the Megami Tensei series. Based on Aya Nishitani's novel Digital Devil Story, it was created by Atlus and published by Namco, then known as Namcot, after Namco acquired the video game rights to Nishitani's Japanese horror novel series. The game features extensive dungeon crawling and a strong focus on demons, a defining element that later became a trademark of the Megami Tensei franchise.
Storyline
Based on Aya Nishitani's Digital Devil Story novel, Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei follows a descent into demon-filled labyrinths where occult forces threaten the human world. As the first Megami Tensei role-playing game, the story centers on confronting supernatural enemies through dangerous dungeon exploration.
